"Sex offenders know that social media offer new opportunities for contacting children and forming friendships with them. They have also realised how simple it is to take pictures and make videos of sexual abuse and share them with other people with the same sexual interests. Digital information tech

nology and social media add new aspects to our understanding of how sexual abuse takes place and how it affects victims. It is necessary for all practitioners working with children and young people to have knowledge of this field. All types of sexual abuse are shameful and taboo-ridden. Consequently, children and young people who feel unhappy need to be asked directly how negative online encounters have affected them. However, the dialogue with them must proceed with an understanding of ow demeaning, intimidating and traumatic such experiences can be, including when living through them on the internet. Save the Children Denmark has compiled this anthology with the latest knowledge in a field that is in constant flux and full of professional challenges." (Back cover)

In der mittleren Alterskohorte unterteilt die MNT ein ähnlich altes Publikum in drei unterschiedliche Nutzertypen: Moderne Etablierte, Eskapisten und Familienorientierte haben divergierende Lebenswelten und damit auch andere Medien- und Freizeitpräferenzen. Bei den älteren Typen sind es Engagierte und Hochkulturorientierte, die sich von den deutlich traditionelleren Typen unterscheiden. Zwischen den Typen zeigen sich teilweise erhebliche Unterschiede, was die Positionierung der traditionellen Medien und des Internets im Alltag betrifft." (Zusammenfassung)

os media para trabalhar no seio das comunidades, incluindo as esferas da infância/juventude e/ou dos adultos e seniores. As metodologias participativas têm uma grande tradição em países da América Latina, de África e da Ásia e estão agora a ser mais usadas na Europa, particularmente, em Portugal. Esta inspiração reflete-se nas diferentes geografias que podem ser encontradas nesta obra, desde Reino Unido, Alemanha ou Brasil, até ao Quénia. Este livro está dividido em quatro partes. Uma primeira foca-se no projeto que deu mote ao livro, o RadioActive Europe, dando conta das suas práticas em Portugal e noutros países europeus. De seguida, juntamos experiências comunitárias e participativas nacionais e internacionais e, por fim, expomos vários caminhos de reflexão em torno da literacia e dos media." (Sinopse)

rganisations, including the Sunday Mirror, Channel 4 and Top Santé, to make a pledge to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination. We organised 12 meet the media events, mostly aimed at professionals working in specific sectors, including sports journalism, documentaries, and entertainment and reality TV. Our Get the Picture campaign, launched at an event for picture editors, encouraged media agencies to stop using stigmatising images to illustrate stories about mental health. What we achieved: Input into 75 soap opera and drama storylines; 12 events attended by 594 media professionals; 77% used their learning within two months of the event; 54,450 visits to our media online resource; nine media organisations signed a Time to Change pledge."

...
K prison radio, focusing on the accounts of the people involved in the formation of the Prison Radio Association (PRA). Established in 2006, the PRA was the first organisation of its kind internationally. Initially set up to network and support individual prison radio projects, it has now grown to the extent of creating and managing the world's first National Prison Radio service. This research outlines the process through which relatively small-scale media activism, based on prisoners' rights, came to be an intrinsic part of prison culture, playing a central role in institutional operations. It considers prison radio growth within the context of the economic reworking of broadcasting, prisons, and social activism in post-Thatcher Britain, acknowledging the emergence of the PRA as both a product of New Labour technologies of governance and of the counter-discursive opportunities they p6roduced. Against a backdrop of public service privatisation and media commercialisation, the development of the PRA illustrates the complex processes of working in partnership with institutions and agencies to develop a prisoner-led service. It is a story which highlights the enduring importance of social values in broadcasting, represents new opportunities for social activism, and presents radio as a powerful force for social change."

"Seit jeher beuten Menschen andere Menschen aus. Die Geschichte der Sklaverei – lange Zeit als Eigentum an einer anderen Person definiert – endete jedoch nicht mit ihrer rechtlichen Abschaffung. Spätestens mit der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte von 1948 ist das Verbot von Sklaverei z

war eine international akzeptierte Norm, faktisch aber werden Menschen noch immer versklavt und unter schlimmsten Bedingungen ausgebeutet. Da heute nicht mehr Eigentum, sondern die tatsächliche Verfügungsgewalt über eine Person als die entscheidende Kategorie gilt, werden Fälle von Menschenhandel, Zwangsarbeit, Leibeigenschaft oder Schuldknechtschaft oft auch als „moderne Sklaverei“ bezeichnet. Je nach Definition und Erhebungsmethode sind die Zahlen über das Ausmaß moderner Sklaverei sehr unterschiedlich. Die Internationale Arbeitsorganisation (ILO) schätzt, dass weltweit derzeit knapp 21 Millionen Menschen Zwangsarbeit leisten müssen, wozu auch Menschenhandel mit dem Ziel der Arbeits- oder sexuellen Ausbeutung zählt. Andere Schätzungen liegen deutlich höher. Zwar gibt es Formen moderner Sklaverei auch in reichen Ländern wie Deutschland. Das größte Risiko, in Versklavung zu geraten, stellt jedoch Armut dar, weshalb die regionalen Schwerpunkte vor allem außerhalb Europas liegen. Zudem sind Frauen häufiger betroffen als Männer. Dass Deutschland in vielfacher Hinsicht auch in die „alte Sklaverei“ verstrickt war, also in die Wirtschafts- und Plantagensklaverei sowie den transatlantischen „Dreieckshandel“ des 17. bis 19. Jahrhunderts, dringt erst langsam ins breitere öffentliche Bewusstsein." (Editorial)

o, and for this massive operation a new information warfare tool has been mobilised—an army of fake social media Putin-fans, known as ‘trolls’. My investigation has discovered that coordinated social media propaganda writers are twisting and manipulating the public debate in Finland, too. Trolls and bots distribute vast amounts of false information in various languages, and target individual citizens for aggressive operations. Aggressive trolls have created a feeling of fear among some of my interviewees, causing them to stop making Russia-related comments online. Trolling has had a serious impact on freedom of speech, even outside Russia. Thus, it should be viewed as a national security threat that needs to be addressed accordingly. The question is: how should the Kremlin’s trolls and disinformation be countered?" (Abstract)
