Em sua base teórica, recupera os valores da comunicação com ase no diálogo e na participação das pessoas e sua ação no mundo. O objetivo é compartilhar um caminho de formação para que a comunicação seja considerada e vivenciada como eixo articulador nas pastorais e no processo educativo, em que as diferentes linguagens que fazem parte do cotidiano possam ser assumidas pelas lideranças. A metodologia que integra o pensar, o produzir e o conviver é componente fundamental para a experiência educomunicativa, em que teoria e prática são partes de uma mesma realidade que leva à mudança do modo de pensar e atuar em favor de práticas evangelizadoras e educativas."

"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."

También sirve para reforzar la comprensión de la necesidad de contar con ciudadanos formados y capacitados en alfabetización en medios, un ingrediente esencial de una sólida democracia. La enseñanza de la alfabetización en medios en la educación primaria y secundaria ayuda a las y los estudiantes en su formación integral a través del reconocimiento de la función determinante que cumplen los medios y sus mensajes en la sociedad contemporánea. Al mismo tiempo, otorga a los estudiantes los recursos y el conocimiento suficientes para convertirse en “consumidores conscientes” de los productos de estos medios y, de manera ideal, les da la capacidad para mejorar su participación y aporte en el debate público."

"The trade publishing sector in South Africa produces books primarily in English and Afrikaans, which is not representative of the spread of languages spoken in the country. In particular, there are very few books published for general readers in the local African languages. The Indigenous Language

Publishing Programme (ILPP) is a government-sponsored initiative that aims to improve this situation. This article assesses the impact and sustainability of the ILPP as an attempt to represent the official languages more equally in the publishing industry. Our study, based on an analysis of documents and interviews, found that the national language and book policies have not been well implemented, which is a failure in terms of reaching constitutional ideals. Moreover, despite the ILPP being an attempt at creating language equality, the initiative seems not to be sustainable because it is reliant on external funding. The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) is not willing to fund such a project on an ongoing basis, which puts the programme’s longevity at risk. As a result, the ILPP’s influence remains limited. The minority languages remain under-represented and this raises questions about whether there is in fact a viable market for books in all of the South African languages." (Resumo)

"Fuelled by the Arab Spring, the question of how the rise of internet-mediated communication affects authoritarian regimes has received unprecedented attention within the discipline of communications. However, in this debate, scholars have not yet turned to the concept of literacy and addressed the

role of citizens' knowledge about political media in any greater depth. This is surprising since the concept of literacy as 'emancipatory knowledge', in Sonia Livingstone's words, has a 'long and proud history' of being linked with processes of enlightenment, political empowerment and democratization. The present study contributes to filling this gap by suggesting four highly consequential facets of critical news literacy in contemporary Russia, a high-profile hybrid regime. The conceptual development is grounded in western literature and 20 in-depth interviews with young, urban and educated Russians." (Abstract)

ubsets of each other or separate entities. In this study, we have explored the relationship between these two fields by empirically mapping out their territories and discussing their similarities and differences. We have made use of the Web of Science database to delineate the content and boundary of these two fields. Our findings from 1956 to 2012 show that the two fields have different authors, university affiliations, and journals; they also differ in terms of academic origin, scope, and social concern. Information literacy has a closer tie to library science, while media literacy is more related to media content, media industry, and social effects. Due to their different academic orientations, the two fields adopt different analytical approaches. We have found that media literacy is not a subset of information literacy as some scholars have suggested, although the two fields have similarities. They share the same goal, and their publications overlap in terms of subject areas, countries of origin, and titles. The two fields could find common ground by cooperating together to contribute to the promotion of new literacy in knowledge societies." (Abstract)
