"Hier in Kapitel 1 definieren wir einige grundlegende Begriffe, aus denen bereits der Ansatz der Autoren zu entnehmen ist. In Kapitel 2 geht es um Begriffsklärungen und Hintergrundwissen zum Thema Mobbing, Cyber-Mobbing und (Cyber)Mobbing. Insbesondere wird dabei auf die Dynamik des Mobbings und au

f die Spezifika des Mobbings mit digitalen Mitteln eingegangen. In Kapitel 3 werden vier Fälle von (Cyber)Mobbing aus der Praxis beschrieben. Sie zeigen in knapper Form, wie man mit Hilfe des Systemischen Konfliktmanagements bei (Cyber)Mobbing vorgehen kann. In Kapitel 4 stellen wir zwei Interventionsmethoden vor, die erfolgreich wissenschaftlich evaluierte Systemische Mobbingintervention (SMI) und die vielfach praxiserprobte Systemische Kurzintervention (SKI). In Kapitel 5 wird Systemisches Konfliktmanagement (SKM) als Bestandteil von Schulentwicklung mit Zielen, Maßnahmen und Teilprozessen ausführlich beschrieben. Sie erfahren, wie man den Schweregrad eines Falles eruiert und die dazu passenden Interventionen findet und durchführt. Die in Kapitel 4 beschriebenen Interventionsmethoden sind darin eingebettet. Am Ende des Kapitels erhalten Sie eine Kurzanleitung, auf die Sie im Notfall zurückgreifen können. Kapitel 6 beschreibt einen fünften (Cyber)Mobbing-Fall („Der Fall Nele“). Darin werden der Fall und das Vorgehen mittels Systemischen Konfliktmanagements ausführlich geschildert. Besonders für eilige Leser ist es empfehlenswert, diese Fallgeschichte zuerst zu lesen, bevor sie sich intensiv mit den Grundlagen des SKM in Kapitel 5 beschäftigen. Im Kapitel 6 erfahren sie anhand des Fallbeispiels, wie es praktisch gut laufen kann, um in Kapitel 5 zu erfahren, auf welchem konzeptionellen Hintergrund dies geschieht. In Kapitel 7 geht es um den pädagogischen Gesamtrahmen. Alles Wissen im Umgang mit (Cyber-)Mobbing darf nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass eine Intervention nur dann eine nachhaltige Wirkung entfaltet, wenn sie auf einem pädagogischen Fundament steht. Dazu zählen Mut zur Führung, Souveränität und Bedürfnisorientierung, eine klare Werte- und Normorientierung, das Fördern personaler Kompetenzen, insbesondere der Fähigkeit zur Selbststeuerung, die Einbettung der Methoden in eine Motivations- und Beziehungskultur und die Förderung von emotionaler Empathie und Mitgefühl. Diese Aufzählung ist umfangreich und klingt anspruchsvoll — in Kapitel 7 wird sie mit Leben gefüllt. In Kapitel 8 finden sich zehn ausgearbeitete Praxisprojekte zur Präventionsarbeit in Klassen oder Gruppen zu (Cyber)Mobbing. Diese Projekte können ohne aufwendige Vorbereitungen umgesetzt werden. Lehrkräfte, Schulleitungen, Schulsozialarbeiter, Schulpsychologen, Präventionsbeauftragte, Multiplikatoren und Fortbildner aus Schule, Jugendhilfe und Polizei erhalten methodisch-didaktische Hinweise und Hintergrundinformationen für die rein vorbeugende Arbeit."

"One interesting trend to follow is the feminisation of the journalism profession. The trend is global but especially prominent in the countries covered by this study: the findings indicate that the gender balance is shifting in Moldova and Georgia, whereas women are now dominating among media profe

ssionals in general in Russia and Belarus. According to the experts interviewed this is not a result of a growing sector with more women coming in but rather about an outflow of men. It seems like the journalistic profession has become less attractive (to men) due to economic restraints (lower wages) and political pressure that makes it harder to exercise independent journalism. Judging from the gender ratio in enrollment for higher education in journalism and communication (over 70 per cent women in some European countries), this trend is likely to carry on. If the curve of this graph will not change we will (again) end up with a skewed gender balance and need to consider possible implications for diversity of voices and what stories are told. The study also confirms that women are taking on more of decision-making roles, especially in regional and in independent media (in Georgia and Moldova there is no gender asymmetry according to the study). However, there is still a gender gap when it comes to distribution of power in national media with high circulation/audience, likely related to the fact that the most influential media are still most often managed by men. Interestingly enough, female respondents in Moldova had low career expectations, although in practice the study indicates that women have better chances of building a career in the media than men. In Georgia, on the other hand, female media professionals are often overqualified, and show the most dissatisfaction with their jobs. The much-debated issue of sexual harassment at work is also covered by the study. In Russia on average three out of ten of the respondents claimed to have experienced sexual harassment in job related environments. Overall, the results of the survey indicate that the journalistic profession is quite dangerous for women, because they risk being subjected to sexual harassment literally everywhere, by colleagues or superiors at the office, as well as while reporting on the ground."

...
rs during a writing residency week held in Vic, Catalonia in October 2018. It was a time of hard work and fast writing, but also of discussions in a friendly environment. Meant for a wide audience, the book includes practical knowledge illustrated by several hands-on experiences – a set of 32 real-life stories – as well as legal, technical, governance, economic and policy material extracted from netCommons, a three-year-long research project supported by the European Commission. Its goal is to guide the reader through a set of actions aimed at setting up and fostering the growth of a community network, but also, for policy makers, local administrations and the general public, to create the right conditions to let community networks bloom and flourish. Starting with presentations of successful community networks, and an introduction to the importance and the role of community networks, it provides stepby-step guidelines and concrete information on the resources needed to start a community network, get it running, and keep it sustainable in the long term. From technical options to economic models, governance choices, legal requirements, and the various skills involved, this lively resource proposes ways to engage with a local community at every stage of a community network."

In total the campaign engaged 5 partners in Lithuania and 15 partners in the UK, with a focus on organisations working on the ground to directly support those vulnerable to or with experience of labour exploitation [...] Through an evaluation based on interviews with audience members and key partners and supplemented with social media metrics and pre and post-campaign survey data, the campaign was found to be effective at encouraging the target audience to recognise and seek support for labour exploitation – an issue that is commonly silenced."

tion, meanwhile, raises concerns of censorship. There is a danger that methods intended to reduce disinformation, implemented clumsily or without sufficient regard for their effects, will actually exacerbate the anti-establishment feeling that drives disinformation in the first place. Just as the disinformation problem can, to a great extent, be traced back to wider structural faults in the political system, the solution, too, must be partly structural. There must be a shift in commercial practices to disrupt the commercial motivations driving disinformation, make online platforms more fair, transparent and open, and reduce the pressure on media outlets to compete for attention."

"Younger audiences are different from older groups not just in what they do, but in their core attitudes in terms of what they want from the news. Young people are primarily driven by progress and enjoyment in their lives, and this translates into what they look for in news. They still need and want
...
news to connect their world to the world – and fulfil an array of different social and personal needs – but they don’t necessarily see the traditional media as the best or only way to do that. News media is now competing for attention with myriad other distractions, and there is a high level of ‘background’ or ‘indirect’ exposure to news (through social media, other online conversations, documentaries and TV shows, etc.). They don’t need to seek it out, news comes to them. Finally, much of the excitement and gravitas for younger people is on the periphery of the news space (infotainment, lifestyle, cultural, grassroots, bloggers and vloggers). All this means there is a disconnect; traditional news media no longer seems as relevant or as dominant when it comes to news content. In a simplified way, how news brands and young people view the role and value of news is different: Traditional news brands see news as: what you should know. Young audiences see news as: what you should know (to an extent), but also what is useful to know, what is interesting to know, and what is fun to know. And the role of news for young people appears primarily individualistic; it’s about what it can do for them as individuals – rather than for society as a whole. While it’s true that the industry is moving towards producing more content of this kind, most traditional news brands are still not associated with being useful, interesting or fun. The study also revealed that the differences in the relationships young people have with the news depend on three key areas: the moment, the person and the medium. Four key news moments (dedicated, updated, time-filler, and intercepted) are described in detail, as are four types of news consumer (Heritage News Consumers, Dedicated News Devotees, Passive News Absorbers, and Proactive News Lovers). The impact of the various media is also investigated, revealing key roles, usage, pros and cons of platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and podcasts." (Publisher description)

Based on the chapters dedicated to each country, five additional chapters address the following cross-national themes:

government communication, social media, formality/informality in journalist-source relations, mediatisation of politics, and political communication culture. The book reveals what really goes on between the political executive and the media in everyday practices within these countries. First, it uncovers a process of mediated political-cultural change within media-political systems. Second, it illustrates the work- ings of prime ministerial power and communication aides at this apex of political power and the media and those who work there. Third, it examines both the struggle within governing institutions to control the flow of information and the tensions between civil servants and political aides, and takes the reader through the four media-political con- texts rooted in a deep knowledge of these relationships."

sumers are less beneficial for citizens. If three major companies start controlling both the infrastructure and the media content, the production of good quality journalism is likely to be affected and tastes and ideas could be shaped in unexpected ways. If these companies establish ties with the political elites as well and start endorsing certain ideologies, they can start having an unwarranted impact on society. Although these concerns are now hypothetical, they are grounded in practices that could be observed already for years in Romania. Social media is becoming increasingly influential as a source of information, with more than two-thirds of Romanians getting their news from Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms. Recent debates surrounding fake news have prompted calls for regulation of the online media in a similar way broadcast activities have been regulated for decades. Civil society organizations have been critical of such initiatives, fearing that they could pave the way to the reintroduction of censorship disguised as user protection." (Page 4)

Öffentliche Rundfunkorganisationen sind jedoch, wie hier abschließend kurz gezeigt wird, vielerorts unter Druck, eingespart zu werden. Obwohl diese Einsparungen durch Parteien und Regierungen beschlossen werden, sind alle Gesellschaftsmitglieder – also alle «Media Commoners» – indirekt dafür mitverantwortlich."

This perception and evaluation are in line with Freedom House and other international institutions, which classify Albanian media as partially free. Respondents said that the three greatest problems for Albanian media are: 1. Bias, partisanship, and political clientelism; 2. dependence on business interests of media owners, and 3. verbal violence and physical threats toward journalists. The prevalence of such very serious problems for the functioning of the media and the fulfillment of its public mission explains the fact why Albanian media are partially free. On the other hand, the presence of such issues at the top of the list of problems demonstrates serious shortcomings and challenges with regard to aspects of their freedom and independence." (Summary)
