"Der normative Rahmen von indigener Kommunikation ist komplex und kann nur mit Blick auf die sozialen Beziehungen innerhalb der Gemeinschaften und ihrer Bezüge zu anderen Gruppen verstanden werden. Die indigenen Kommunikatoren im Cauca sehen sich vor allem im Dienste ihrer gemeinschaftlichen Prozes

se, die wiederum von den traditionellen indigenen Autoritäten abhängen. Wichtigster Bezugspunkt ist dabei der über 500 Jahre dauernde Widerstandskampf zur Behauptung der eigenen Identität; damit verbunden ist der Versuch, die eigenen Traditionen und kulturellen Eigenheiten zu bewahren. Gleichwohl findet mit der nicht-indigenen Umwelt ein überwiegend konstruktiver Austausch statt. Auf der Organisationsebene des CRIC spielt die Kommunikation auch im Sinne von PR und Lobbying eine Rolle. Gängige Konzepte des community journalism mit einem starken deliberativen Ansatz lassen sich nur teilweise auf das hier dargestellte Verständnis von Kommunikation anwenden. Auch ist die Unterscheidung zwischen dem Binnenverhältnis innerhalb der indigenen Gemeinschaften und ihrem Bezug zur Umwelt wichtig: Unabhängigkeit von staatlicher Politik ist für die indigenen nach außen wichtig, im Binnenverhältnis sind die indigenen Kommunikatoren den Prozessen und Werten der jeweiligen Gemeinschaften verhaftet, die kaum hinterfragbar sind. Presse- oder Medienfreiheit im westlichen Verständnis spielen im Binnenverhältnis keine Rolle, in der Außenkommunikation insofern, als die indigenen Gemeinschaften sie einfordern — verstanden als das Recht, gemeinschaftliche eigene Medien ohne staatliche Zensur betreiben zu dürfen."

"In this chapter I have strived to move beyond the simple neoliberal critique, attempting to consider more closely the specific, concrete impact of American policies on the work of female Afghan media workers.

urrently dominates Afghanistan has brought hundreds of women into the public sphere in ways previously impossible. In the nonprofit realm, rare, privileged, and remarkably determined individuals like Farida Nekzad have succeeded in using small openings imposed by the West to create new opportunities for female voices. Furthermore, in considering the words and experiences of women working in the field, it is apparent that, given the circumstances, the profit-oriented media systems decried by Barker do, in fact, offer a greater range of expression to women. Although the Afghan government attempts to exert control over all media, the economic might and global cachet of Tolo TV have allowed the station to push boundaries, thus providing greater autonomy for producers like Rokhsar Azamee."

ndelt die Darstellung verschiedener Diversitätsdimensionen in den Medien: Ethnizität und „Hautfarbe“, Geschlecht und Gender, Behinderung, Alter sowie die Repräsentation von Familien. Im dritten Teil schließlich werden Tipps für die Bildrecherche gegeben, das Diversitätsrad als Mittel für einen Schnellcheck vorgestellt und die wichtigsten Punkte in Kürze zusammengefasst. Der Fokus dieser Handlungsempfehlungen liegt auf Bildern. In den nächsten Jahren wird das Gleichstellungsbüro der Goethe-Universität weiterhin einen Leitfaden erarbeiten, der sich mit (Text-)Sprache beschäftigt. Um Zusammenhänge zu verdeutlichen, wurden zahlreiche Fotos und andere Bilder als Anschauungsmaterial verwendet. Bilder, die – im Zuge des Fokus, den das jeweilige Kapitel setzt – als Positivbeispiele dienen, sind mit einem dunkelgrauen Balken und einem Häkchen gekennzeichnet. Für Fotos, die aus der Perspektive des Schwerpunktes eines Kapitels kritisch zu betrachten sind, wurde ein hellgrauer Grund benutzt. Dies bedeutet nicht, dass diese Fotos per se schlecht sind, sondern nur, dass sie in dem besprochenen Kontext für sich alleine oder in Kombination mit anderen Bildern als negativ zu betrachtende Schlussfolgerungen nahelegen."

While the media industry has changed significantly as a result of digital and participatory media, discriminatory attitudes around fear and pity continue to impact whether people with disability find work in the media. The book demonstrates no significant changes in attitudes towards employing disabled media workers since the 1990s when the last major research into this topic took place." (Publisher description)

r of South Asian females living in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, India, and Pakistan. We also applied a structural equation model to examine the role of enjoyment and job search self-efficacy in mediating the relationship between frequency of exposure to Bollywood movies and job-seeking behavior. Results indicated that exposure to Bollywood movies was positively related to enjoyment and job-seeking behavior of the female viewers of Bollywood movies. We also found a significant relationship between job search self-efficacy and job-seeking behavior. Our study offers a significant insight into the role of entertainment narratives in influencing the behavior of South Asian female audiences that hitherto remained a neglected group in media effects research."

interests is often associated with a decrease in the diversity of information to which users are exposed. Notwithstanding the question of whether these claims are correct or not, this article discusses whether and how recommendations can also be designed to stimulate more diverse exposure to information and to break potential ‘filter bubbles’ rather than create them. Combining insights from democratic theory, computer science and law, the article makes suggestions for design principles and explores the potential and possible limits of ‘diversity sensitive design’."

cted, anytime and anywhere. Is the mobile phone empowering or disempowering as a new form of social control? Based on a longterm ethnographic research on global nannies in Paris, this study presents a case for the importance of the detailed investigation of everyday contexts and power relations to better understand the complexities of mobile phone use in work life. This study will argue that, far from an instrument of empowerment, the mobile phone can work to reinforce already existing power relations and mundane social structures, leading to more unequal and enslaving relationships in work life."
