"Der Beitrag analysiert die Kommunikation der römisch-katholischen (Erz-)Bistümer und der evangelisch-lutherischen Landeskirchen in Deutschland im Social Web. Empirische Untersuchungen der „Facebook“-, „Twitter“- und „Youtube“-Aktivitäten der beiden Großkirchen verdeutlichen, dass di

e Bistümer den Katholikentag 2014 positiv für ihre Social-Web-Auftritte nutzen konnten. Dennoch war keine konsistente Kommunikationsstrategie zur Verknüpfung von Regel- und Veranstaltungskommunikation ersichtlich. Insgesamt werden partizipative Plattformen noch sehr zurückhaltend genutzt, wie wohl es einzelne Leuchttürme gibt, die in einen aktiven Dialog mit Mitgliedern und anderen Bezugsgruppen treten. Die katholischen Institutionen scheinen den Landeskirchen bereits einige Schritte voraus zu sein – was aber auch als Zeichen der unterschiedlichen Ekklesiologie gedeutet werden kann. Zukünftige Social-Web-Studien könnten sich daher gezielt auf die Ebene der Kirchenkreise und Dekanate sowie der lokalen Ortsgemeinden konzentrieren." (Abstract)

e Kirche als Amtskirche verstanden, die selbst strategische Kommunikation betreibt. Die aus der Theorie hergeleiteten Erkenntnisse werden mittels eines Beteiligungsmodells auf den Gesprächsprozess übertragen. Es wird gezeigt, dass dem Einfluss der Laien durch rechtlich-hierarchische Rahmenbedingungen sowie durch tradierte Vorstellungen der kirchlichen Würdenträger und der Verwaltung davon, wie Entscheidungsfindung in der katholischen Kirche abläuft, enge Grenzen gesetzt sind, die es bei der Kommunikation von Kirchen mit ihren Mitgliedern zu beachten und transparent zu machen gilt."

"Nesta tese procurou-se comprovar que o Serviço à Pastoral da Comunicação (SEPAC), um projeto iniciado em 1982, que se dedica à formação de lideranças pastorais e culturais mediante cursos livres, sistemáticos e publicações, foi decisivo para a emergência da teoria e prática educomunica

tiva e sua consolidação junto ao segmento da Pastoral da Comunicação no Brasil. O objetivo geral foi pesquisar a Educomunicação na formação para a comunicação de agentes pastorais e educativos a partir do espaço não formal. Há que se destacar que o diálogo da Educomunicação e da formação pastoral se dá no contexto da cultura midiática, em que pela introdução das diferentes tecnologias, novas linguagens são incorporadas ao cotidiano das pessoas no ambiente pastoral, influenciando e desafiando as práticas na evangelização. Os referenciais que serviram de arcabouço teórico para a tese apoiam-se em pesquisadores da Educomunicação, dos Estudos Culturais e da Igreja Católica na abordagem da Pastoral da Comunicação. A pesquisa empírica realizou-se no SEPAC por meio do exame de publicações, monografias elaboradas pelos cursistas de Especialização e por meio de questionários enviados aos mesmos com o objetivo de verificar a experiência realizada, a metodologia e a continuidade em projetos de intervenção, uma vez que a formação integrada compreende reflexão e ação no campo da Educomunicação Pastoral."

"The article discusses the relationship of young engaged Catholics in Slovakia to the various media outlets which they follow. It attempts to reveal which media outlets are considered to be inspiring and thought-provoking and how are they perceived and evaluated by their followers. The author draws

from extensive research into the interpretation of Church news and current affairs within the community of young engaged Catholics; therefore, the findings related to media reception presented herein also include demographical and personality characteristics for individual audiences. The findings are also presented within the context of three specific Church-related news stories: the contentious removal of Róbert Bezák from his position as Archbishop of Trnava, the financial separation of the Church and state, and clerical celibacy. The underlying research was conducted using combined questionnaires, both quantitative and qualitative, on a sample of 339 suitable respondents. The research reveals that the most inspiring Slovak media outlet according to the young engaged Catholics is the secular weekly týžden, followed by the Catholic television channel Lux. The research has revealed a significant discrepancy between the opinions of the audiences of secular media and the audiences of official Church media: while the former are very critical of Church media, the latter seem to be more reluctant to turn to secular media."

"In the Declaration of the Committee of Ministers on the role of community media in promoting social cohesion and intercultural dialogue passed on 11 February 2009 by the Council of Europe, stations run by religious institutions were explicitly excluded from the community media definition, as being

too dependent on the Church. But the reality seems to be far from this definition. In practice, in many countries the religious radio stations officially belong to—or even dominate—this sector. In 2011 a new period began for community broadcasting in Hungary. While most of the former community media broadcasters could not find resources with which to operate, the community media landscape was dramatically overwhelmed by religious broadcasters both on regional and local levels. The legally-recognised third tier of broadcasting in Poland called ‘social broadcasting’ is actively and exclusively used by religious radio—seven stations broadcast locally and one is a powerful nationwide radio station called Radio Maryja. The authors gathered information and points of views from radio experts, organizations and activists living and working in different EU and non-EU states about the place of religious broadcasting in the community media sector. Two case-studies (Hungary and Poland) may be of interest for countries considering the introduction or reorganisation of regulations regarding community broadcasting." (Abstract)

lmente entre as décadas de 1960 e 1990, vêm sendo desafiados por práticas novas ou adaptadas, influenciadas, entre outros elementos, pela introdução de recursos digitais. A pergunta que se faz é como esse fenômeno interfere no desenvolvimento de práticas midiáticas levadas a cabo por esses coletivos, especialmente no que se refere ao potencial de participação das comunidades a elas associadas. O exercício tomou como base os relatos de experiências apresentados durante o 8º Mutirão Brasileiro de Comunicação (MBC), realizado em Natal (RN), no final de outubro de 2013. Além de testar o modelo de análise, os resultados apresentam um quadro de tendências sobre o uso de mídias, sobretudo por coletivos católicos no Brasil. A primeira seção do artigo explica a fundamentação das categorias de análise. A segunda, descreve a amostra utilizada. Na seção final, discutem-se os resultados obtidos, incluindo as tendências observadas nos casos analisados e os limites da proposta metodológica." (Resumo)
