Elle fournit des exemples inclusifs pour permettre un libre échange d'idées entre les filles et les garçons, et sensibiliser les producteurs et les gestionnaires de radio aux exigences éthiques et juridiques, en particulier lorsqu'ils travaillent avec des mineurs. Quatre niveaux d'implication sont distingués : "radio pour les jeunes", "radio avec les jeunes", "radio par les jeunes" et "atteindre les jeunes". (CAMECO Update November 2013)

besonders auf die Vermittlung in Bibliotheken abgestimmt, er kann aber auch in anderen Einrichtungen oder Schulungskontexten durchgeführt werden. Er erlaubt eine Anpassung an das zur Verfügung stehende Zeitbudget, die technische Ausstattung und die Interessen der Teilnehmer. Einleitend zu jedem Modul wird auf die entsprechenden Kapitel des Info-Kompasses verwiesen. Die Publikation „Der Info-Kompass“ kann kostenlos über die Website der Landesanstalt für Medien Nordrhein-Westfalen (LfM) bestellt und als PDF heruntergeladen werden. Anhand von praktischen Aufgaben aus dem Alltag – die die Teilnehmer selbst bearbeiten – werden anwendbare Tipps vermittelt. Dies steht stets vor dem Hintergrund einer Diskussion der Herausforderungen und Gefahren wie auch der Vermittlung von kompaktem Sachwissen. Dabei werden die zwei zentralen Bereiche der Informationskompetenz abgedeckt: das Suchen und Finden von Informationen, aber auch die bewusste wie unbewusste Weitergabe von Daten." (Einleitung)

"The research showed that internet intermediaries are heavily influenced by the legal and policy environments of states, but they do have leeway over many areas of policy and practice affecting online expression and privacy. The findings also highlighted the challenge where many state policies, laws

, and regulations are – to varying degrees - poorly aligned with the duty to promote and protect intermediaries’ respect for freedom of expression. It is a resource which enables the assessment of Internet intermediaries’ decisions on freedom of expression, by ensuring that any limitations are consistent with international standards. The research also recommends specific ways that intermediaries and states can improve respect for internet users’ right to freedom of expression. This is through promoting: adequate legal frameworks and policies consistent with international norms; multi-stakeholder policy development; transparency of governance; accountability in self-regulation; mechanisms for remedy; and public information and education."

findings. This, in turn, enables them to ideally use and adopt the results for their own purposes. It addresses both stakeholders active in media development cooperation and journalists as well as all other people interested in this topic, such as politicians, academics or activists. The following five international and global media freedom indices will be introduced and analyzed: The Freedom of the Press Index by Freedom House; The Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders; The Media Sustainability Index by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX); The African Media Barometer by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung; The Media Development Indicators by UNESCO. These five measures were selected for the analysis because they are the only initiatives that evaluate media freedom internationally and on a regular basis. Strictly speaking, these indices can be further divided into two subgroups: those that claim to measure media freedom and those that aim to measure the theoretically broader concepts of media development or media sustainability. But since media freedom is a crucial component of media development and media sustainability and because in practice it is difficult to properly distinguish between the two concepts, both are included in this analysis."

et of monitoring and evaluation indicators, but rather a limited number of indicators that can easily be calculated based on administrative data available within most countries. For this reason, this tool is flexible, open to changes and can be adapted to the context of a given country. Over time, the guidebook will be updated according to changes to the questionnaire and data requirements. Qualitative indicators that may emerge from the regulatory framework questionnaire are not a concern of this guide; the guide is more quantitative in nature rather than constituting a qualitative assessment tool that is required for the in-depth analysis of laws and regulations. At the time of publication (May 2013), 54 country profiles have been published on the UIS website and further countries may be added in the future. The profiles present national regulations and data on broadcast and print media." (Executive summary)
