Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Academic studies generally paint a very positive picture of the alternative news agency Inter Press Service (IPS). It has frequently been demonstrated that unlike the big commercial agencies IPS provides descriptions of complex processes rather than spot news , informs about positive developments rather than the crisis-reporting that tends to prevail in the mainstream media, and succeeds in reporting from the perspective of developing countries and of people who do not usually get to speak in the news. An analysis of whether a news agency with such laudable intentions actually has the power to contribute to social change appears to be lacking, although IPS marginal status in the mediascape has been pointed out. Against that background, this study investigates the role of IPS as alternative in the mediascape based on IPS coverage of the Fifth World Social Forum (WSF), which took place in Porto Alegre (Brazil) in January 2005. The field research for this study was conducted during an internship at the IPS Latin America office in Montevideo (Uruguay) and at the World Social Forum, where the author was part of the IPS news team. Considering IPS extensive coverage of the WSF and the fact that civil society constitutes IPS major audience as well as being the key protagonist at the WSF, both the Forum and civil society are regarded important aspects to this analysis. The author presupposes the importance of the WSF for global social movements, and the need both for a diversity of sources that inform the public about the event and the issues discussed there, and for alternatives in the rather homogeneous media sector. The following questions guide the analysis: a. How does the IPS coverage of the 2005 WSF differ from that by mainstream media? b. Does IPS contribute to social change? c. Is IPS an important information source and platform for civil society organisations? Following a brief introduction, the theoretical concepts central to the analysis are outlined by describing imbalances of the international news environment, explaining the notion of news values, and looking into theories on media effects. An overview of research conducted on the Inter Press Service is furthermore provided. After a description of research methodologies, three chapters focus on one of the guiding questions each, presenting and discussing the research findings on IPS coverage of the World Social Forum, its contribution to change, and [...]

This book is written by over 100 journalists of Inter Press Service (IPS) and key global players who have supported the agency over the last 50 years. It looks at information and communication as key elements in changes to the old post-Second World War and post-Cold War worlds. It provides an insight into the idealism that fired many of those who worked for the agency as well as the high esteem in which it was held by a number of heads of state and Nobel Prize laureates, among others.Established in 1964 as a non-profit international cooperative of journalists dedicated to filling the information void between Europe and Latin America, IPS gradually expanded its outreach to other areas of the Third World and a number of major industrialised countries, and set itself the daunting task of putting the peoples of the South on the international map. In what many outsiders saw as a utopian enterprise, IPS was soon making it possible for the voice of the voiceless to be heard.IPS has always believed in the role of information as an agent of change and a precondition for freeing communities from poverty and marginalisation. Its historic mission has been to act as a communication channel that privileges the voices and the concerns of the poorest and creates a climate of understanding, accountability and participation around development, and between South and North. To accomplish this mission, the IPS journalists who have contributed to this book – and the hundreds of others who helped the agency gain international recognition – gave priority to reporting the processes behind the facts, offering a privileged window on a changing global scenario.Much has changed in almost half century, but not the inequalities and imbalances that gave birth to the agency. However, as some of the contributors note, while new media and new forms of communication are bringing with them new dangers of alienation and discrimination, they also offer new opportunities for making the process of communication a truly horizontal exchange among peoples and nations. IPS has now become the agency of global civil society, with more than 20 million pages read each month on the Web. In the words of Roberto Savio, founder of the agency together with Pablo Piacentini, “millions of young people use the Web to forge alliances and take action at the local, national and international level. Their networks are based on common values, on ideal choices, and on global issues ranging from the environment to human rights, from gender roles to democratic participation.” These new actors fighting for a different world are the hidden voices of yesterday – and they take the vision of IPS recounted by this book's contributors to a higher and wider level.

Inhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: Der Nachrichtenfluss von Entwicklungs- zu Industrieländern wird seit Jahrzehnten heftig debattiert. Auch den britischen Medien wird eine unausgewogene Auslandsberichterstattung vorgeworfen, die ein verzerrtest Bild der Realität zeigt. Diese Arbeit analysiert die Nachrichten über Lateinamerika in der britischen Presse und richtet dabei besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf die Autoren der Artikel und darauf, wer über Lateinamerika zu Worte kommt. In welchem Maße sich Einheimische in den britischen Zeitungen Gehör verschaffen können wird dabei ebenso behandelt wie die Bedeutung von alternativen Quellen (z.B. andere Nachrichtenagenturen als die Großen Drei ). Die Gründe für redaktionelle Entscheidungen (wie z.B. der Einsatz von festen Korrespondenten anstelle von eingeflogenen Reportern, oder die Wahl der Nachrichtenagenturen) und journalistische Praktiken werden außerdem untersucht. Die folgenden Fragen sollen beantwortet werden: - Welches Bild vermittelt die britische Presse von Lateinamerika? - Auf welchem Wege fließen die Nachrichten von Lateinamerika zur britischen Presse? Wer schreibt sie? - Welche Informationsquellen werden genutzt, welche vernachlässigt? Wird Einheimischen und alternativen Quellen Gehör verschafft? Auf der Grundlage einer Inhaltsanalyse von fünf britischen broadsheet Zeitungen und Interviews mit britischen Korrespondenten in Lateinamerika sowie Lateinamerikanern, die in Großbritannien leben, weist diese Arbeit nach, dass viele der Bedenken, die vor 25 Jahren in den Debatten über globale Nachrichtenflüsse zum Ausdruck gebracht wurden, noch immer Relevanz haben. Obwohl sich viele Journalisten darum bemühen, dies zu ändern, tragen verschiedene Faktoren noch immer dazu bei, dass sie es meist nicht schaffen, die Öffentlichkeit mit ausgewogenen Berichten über Geschehnisse und Prozesse in Lateinamerika zu versorgen, die frei von Stereotypen sind und sich auf eine Vielzahl von Informationsquellen stützen. Hinweis: Diese Arbeit ist in englischer Sprache verfasst! Abstract: For several decades, the news flows from developing to industrialized countries have been a major issue of debate. In Britain, too, foreign reporting is said to be unbalanced, thus creating a distorted picture of reality. This study analyses the way in which news about Latin America is being covered by the British quality press, looking in particular at who writes the news and who is speaking about Latin America. It aims to [...]

This 20th- Century Fund Report seeks to bridge the gap between journalism as practiced in the advanced Western democracies, with its emphasis on freedom to print and broadcast news, and in the Third World where there is a call for a new world information order. Fenby presents a group portrait of the four major international news agencies--United Press International, Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse. He reviews the history and current role of the news services, including their financial structure, editorial organization and general mode of operation. He examines the validity of criticism against them--charges of political and cultural imperialism sensationalism, and bias against the developing nations or development. He also examines how these agencies respond to political pressures around the world, whether they impose self-censorship, and whether they serve the public responsibly. ISBN 0-8052-3995-2 : $19.95.

China is transforming Africa's information space. It is assisting African broadcasters with extensive loans, training and exchange programmes and has set up its own media operations on the continent in the form of CCTV Africa. In the telecommunications sector, China is helping African governments to expand access to the internet and mobile phones, with rapid and large-scale success. While Western countries have ambiguously linked the need to fight security threats with restrictions of the information space, China has been vocal in asserting the need to control communication to ensure stability and development. Featuring a wealth of interviews with a variety of actors – from Chinese and African journalists in Chinese media to Chinese workers for major telecommunication companies – this highly original book demonstrates how China is both contributing to the 'Africa rising' narrative while exploiting the weaknesses of Western approaches to Africa, which remain trapped between an emphasis on stability and service delivery, on the one hand, and the desire to advocate human rights and freedom of expression on the other. Arguing no state can be understood without attention to its information structure, the book provides the first assessment of China’s new model for the media strategies of developing states, and the consequences of policing Africa’s information space for geopolitics, security and citizenship.
