The analysis employs a post-colonial perspective, and is aware of continuing marks of coloniality and dehumanization." (Publisher description)

objetivo é buscar garantir que princípios constitucionais e penais e os padrões internacionais que dispõem sobre a questão sejam respeitados. Voltado para a comunidade jurídica, o trabalho visa fazer um contraponto ao cenário de hostilidade às rádios comunitárias no Brasil. Segundo levantamento da ARTIGO 19 junto a 657 acórdãos julgados entre 2009 e 2012 pelos Tribunais Regionais Federais das cinco regiões do país, mais da metade (54%) das ações propostas contra rádios comunitárias são de natureza penalPara a ARTIGO 19, o direito administrativo e civil é muito mais adequado para a aplicação de sanções, especialmente ao verificarmos um cenario em que o direito penal vem sendo aplicado de forma desproporcional e desnecessária."

on, and innovation. It addresses a highly contentious subject of public debate in many countries around the world. In this discussion, one side fears the emergence of media empires that can sway public opinion and endanger democracy. The other side believes the Internet has opened media to unprecedented diversity and worries about excessive regulation by government. Strong opinions and policy advocates abound on each side, yet a lack of quantitative research across time, media industries, and countries undermines these positions. This book moves beyond the rhetoric of free media and free markets to provide a dispassionate and data-driven analysis of global media ownership trends and their drivers. The book covers thirteen media industries, including television, newspapers, book publishing, film, search engines, ISPs, wireless telecommunication, and others across a 10- to 25-year period in thirty countries. After examining these countries, this book offers comparisons and analysis across industries, regions, companies, and development levels. It calculates overall national concentration trends beyond specific media industries, the market share of individual companies in the overall national media sector, and the size and trends of transnational companies in overall global media."

Are we becoming more individual or more social? Why is public social media so conservative? Why does equality online fail to shift inequality offline? How did memes become the moral police of the internet? Supported by an introduction to the project’s academic framework and theoretical terms that help to account for the findings, the book argues that the only way to appreciate and understand something as intimate and ubiquitous as social media is to be immersed in the lives of the people who post. Only then can we discover how people all around the world have already transformed social media in such unexpected ways and assess the consequences." (Back cover)

"Now in paperback for the first time, the Handbook is an academic adaptation of information contained in the Global Report on the Status of Women in News Media, a study commissioned by the International Women's Media Foundation. The book's editor was the principal investigator of the original study.

This text draws together the most robust data from that original study, presenting it in 29 chapters on individual nations and three additional theoretical chapters. The book is the most expansive effort to date to consider women's standing in the journalism profession across the world. Contents organize nations in relation to their progress within newsrooms, with those most advanced in gender equality representing diversity in terms of region and national development. Contributing authors are, in most cases, the original researchers for their respective nations in the Global Report study." (Publisher description)

nalisar as identidades produzidas no ciberespaço a partir dos recursos técnicos disponibilizados na ambiência digital, mais especificamente no site pessoal do sacerdote. Inicialmente, a investigação busca, na filosofia, a fundamentação teórica da identidade a partir dos pensadores da antiguidade: Heráclito, Parmênides e Aristóteles, e da modernidade: René Descartes, David Hume e John Locke. Em seguida situa a identidade no contexto da cultura, recorrendo a autores como Stuart Hall, Anthony Giddens e Zygmunt Bauman, cuja realidade abarca as invenções técnicas no campo da comunicação, que queremos aprofundar auxiliando-nos dos estudos de Marshall McLuhan, Douglas Kellner e Dominique Wolton e especificamente o ciberespaço, nas sendas de pesquisadores como Pierre Levy, Lucia Santaella e André Lemos. Sopesando que o objeto de análise, no contexto do ciberespaço, é a identidade do sacerdote católico, a segunda parte da investigação visa situar o sacerdote na instituição “Igreja Católica” e a aprofundar a relação desta como a comunicação, buscando referencial teórico nos Documentos da Igreja e em pesquisadores como Joana Puntel, Antonio Spadaro, Jorge Miklos e Moisés Sbardelotto. Por fim, na terceira parte, a investigação, por meio de método qualitativo, analisa sites de quatro conhecidos sacerdotes da mídia brasileira (Pe. Reginaldo Manzotti, Pe. Marcelo Rossi, Pe. Juarez de Castro e Pe. Fábio de Melo), no sentido de delinear como são construídas e desconstruídas suas identidades nas estratégias programadas da plataforma digital." (Resumo)
