Ako neraz v živote, aj keď som sa ocitol vo svojom prvom a v podstate aj poslednom zamestnaní, mal som šťastie. V Roháči som sedel v jednej miestnosti s Klárou Jarunkovou, Viktorom Kubalom, Milkou Kostrovou a nepriamo so zástupcom šéfredaktora Gabrielom Viktorom, čiže Lacom Szalayom. S ľuďmi rovnakej krvnej skupiny, čo bol pre mladého autora dar z nebies – aby som sa vyjadril dobovo: dar z ateistických nebies. Áno, v Roháči sa v päťdesiatych rokoch uverejňovali aj takéto veršovačky: ...

Summary

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The presented monograph is a result of a meeting, where the Slovak journalists and historians came together in order to discuss the events of 1968 and the indispensable role of mass media in the reform process in Czechoslovakia, which is generally known as the „Prague Spring”. While the historians were stressing both the importance and the contribution of Slovak and Czech media for the evolution and the take-off of the reform process in the cultural context of the 1960s and the significance of historical milestones of the year 1968, the journalists-eyewitnesses of these events were remembering their own evaluation of the unforgettable atmosphere of that time.

Emigrácia Ladislava Mňačka do Izraela ako prejav odporu voči antiizraelskej politike Československa

Author(s): Jozef Leikert / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Kontroverzný novinár a spisovateľ Ladislav Mňačko neraz šokoval verejnosť nielen svojimi článkami, knihami a náhlymi odchodmi do zahraničia, ale aj svojský- mi vyjadreniami a bohémskym životom. Prvý raz emigroval roku 1967 do Izraela. Ako sám povedal, bola to vnútorná revolta, protest proti otvorenej antiizraelskej politike nášho štátu. Stalo sa to ani nie dva mesiace po historickom IV. zjazde československých spisovateľov, na ktorom predovšetkým českí spisovatelia odsúdili zasahovanie do ich práce, cenzúru, kritizovali domáce politické pomery i zahraničnú politiku Československa vo vzťahu k Izraelu. Mňačko bol vtedy už známym novinárom a spisovateľom a tešil sa obľube aj na Západe, kde ho nazývali Červený Hemingway.

Odraz Slovenského národního povstání v protektorátním tisku a výprava českých novinářů na Slovensko na podzim 1944

Author(s): Jan Rychlík / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Odrazu psaní protektorátního tisku o událostech na Slovensku nebyla doposud věnována větší pozornost. Převládalo mínění – jistě v zásadě správné – že „zglajchšaltovaný“ český tisk nemohl přinášet žádné objektivní zprávy. Přesto si tisk té doby svou analýzu zaslouží.

Analyse de l’ethos collectif des Français de confession musulmane dans la presse numérique et les réseaux sociaux

Author(s): Hayame Hussein / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

After Paris attacks in 2015, the image projected by the Muslim minority is very negative. The objective of this study is to analyze the discursive construction of the collective ethos of the Muslim minority in France, through the speeches in media. Our corpus consists of a group of digital texts (articles, blogs, forums, social media, etc.) Our search is at the crossroads of two disciplines: argumentation and discourse analysis. Our analysis proceeds in four steps: first, we present the impact of Paris attacks on the Muslim minority. Then, we study the preliminary ethos of Muslims as it is constructed in the media. Afterwards, we analyze the collective ethos self-attributed, presented by Muslims in response to their negative ethos. Finally, we study the arguments they advance to rework this negative preliminary ethos.

The contemporary social context raises the question not only the functioning of mass media, but also the relationship between the state, corporations and mass media. Media produce elements that are not directly experience the real - the media, in cultural terms, creating real world mediated endless multiplied meanings.

TELL ME LIES, TELL ME SWEET LITTLE LIES

Author(s): Leonie Haiden / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Many political analysts maintain that the ‘era of post-truth’ began in 2016; the year we allegedly left the world of rational argument and objective facts and entered a world of ‘bullshit’ and lies. The election of President Donald Trump and the success of the Brexit campaign are often cited as evidence. However, such an interpretation of contemporary politics is not without limitations. Not only has lying always been part of the political repertoire, but the notion of a post-truth era also creates too harsh a break with the past, failing to address the central questions of how to distinguish between different (legitimate) truths and fake-news strategies, and how both of these impact the political and media discourses of today. Why does the dissemination of false information appear to be such an attractive strategy in our current information environment?

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTH?

Author(s): Erin Duffy,Kierat Ranautta-Sambhi / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Appeals to relativist notions of truth have revealed that the way we judge truth has become a political as much as a philosophical debate. Thus, it is even more important that we carefully consider terms such as ‘truth’, ‘proof’, or ‘evidence’, particularly in the era of instant news, where the court of public opinion is constantly challenged to judge the truthfulness of information.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TRUST?

Author(s): Leonie Haiden / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Along with changes to the media landscape, low levels of trust in news media and government are often cited as creating a fertile environment for fake news and disinformation. According to polls and commentators, institutional trust reached a historical low in 2017. Edelman’s ‘Trust Barometer’ reports that governments and media are our least trusted institutions, with the number of respondents indicating their trust at 41% and 43% respectively. These and other similar findings by pollsters, such as the Pew Research Center, have been widely reported. Referring to his survey, Edelman declared in The Economist that ‘(t)rust—or, too often, the lack of it—is one of the central issues of our time’. Such an approach to trust makes several assumptions: First, that trust levels have indeed reached a point of ‘crisis’ that can be measured. Second, that trust and distrust stand in a binary relationship. And finally, that a pervasive lack of trust in society is one of the reasons we have ‘a broken media industry’. We will interrogate these assumptions, showing that while trust is indeed crucial to understanding today’s political developments, and fake news in particular, the way it is usually discussed is too simplistic and not conducive to finding adequate responses to fake news.

DAESH AND ITS SINGLE TRUTH

Author(s): Kierat Ranautta-Sambhi / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

As a militant, fundamentalist group, we expect Daesh’s approach to truth to be unequivocally absolutist. However, many believe that the group has been able to communicate effectively because it is not constrained by truth. So what role does truth play in Daesh strategic communications?

INTRODUCTION

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The study investigates misinformation and disinformation on social media in the context of the rise of ‘fake news’ and the birth of the ‘post-truth’ era. Are these concerns substantiated by facts? What are the consequences of these phenomena for the information environment? Most importantly, do these phenomena pose a threat for our societal security? This study will provide actionable knowledge by answering to these questions.

BLOGS, FAKE NEWS, AND INFORMATION ACTIVITIES

Author(s): Nitin Agarwal,Kiran Kumar Bandeli / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Blogs provide fertile ground for framing narratives. This chapter demonstrates that aside from the blog post itself, reader comments can make the narrative more persuasive. However, the absence of a social network structure for blogs inhibits the dissemination of these narratives. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are used as vehicles to disseminate the content using cross-media and mixed-media tactics. The link between blogs and social media platforms is vital for understanding contemporary disinformation campaigns.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This publication highlights how false information online brings about a number of security implications. We likened false information to the Lernaean Hydra, the mythical creature that could generate two new heads for each head it lost to the axe. According to the myth, Heracles slayed it by thinking outside the box, burning the stumps of the severed heads, and smashing the only true mortal head the monster had with a rock. Analogously, anyone who is battling disinformation online must think beyond simply debunking single stories.
