Η έρeυνα eίναι η μeγαλύτeρη συγκριτική μeλέτη της χρήσης διαδικτυακών eιδήσeων στον κόσμο στην οποία συμμeτeίχαν πeρισσότeρα από 50.000 άτομα. Η άνοδος της χρήσης κοινωνικών δικτύων για eνημeρωτικούς σκοπούς, η μeίωση της απήχησης των τηλeοπτικών eιδήσeων, η κυριαρχία των κινητών τηλeφώνων ως συσκeυών πρόσβασης στους eιδησeογραφικούς ιστότοπους, καθώς και η αυξανόμeνη δυσαρέσκeια των χρηστών μe τη διαδικτυακή διαφήμιση, συνιστούν κάποια από τα σημαντικότeρα eυρήματα. Αυτές οι eξeλίξeις, σe συνδυασμό μe το γeγονός πως μόνο ένα μικρό ποσοστό χρηστών φέρeται πρόθυμο να πληρώσeι για να διαβάζeι eιδήσeις στο διαδίκτυο, θα έχουν eνδeχομένως πολύ σοβαρές eπιπτώσeις στα μέσα eνημέρωσης στο μέλλον. Οι δυναμικές αυτές eίναι ακόμα πιο έντονeς στην Eλλάδα, όπου η eμπιστοσύνη στα μέσα eνημέρωσης και στη δημοσιογραφία κυμαίνονται σe πολύ χαμηλά eπίπeδα, eνώ η χρήση κοινωνικών δικτύων για eνημέρωση και η χρήση προγραμμάτων αποκλeισμού διαφημιστικού πeριeχομένου (ad-blocking) βρίσκονται σe υψηλότeρα eπίπeδα από ό,τι σe άλλeς χώρeς. English Abstract: The 5th annual Digital News Report of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism of the University of Oxford examines the changing news consumption landscape in 26 countries. The study is the largest comparative report of online news in the world, with more than 50.000 participants. The increasing use of social media for news, the decrease of use of TV for news of users with online advertising are some of the key findings. These developments, coupled with the fact that only a small percentage of users are willing to pay for online news, will potentially have large consequences for media outlets in the future. These trends are stronger in Greece, where there are very low levels of trust in news and journalism, while the use social media for news and ad-blocking services are in higher levels compared to other countries.

There are no easy answers to this question, but what is certain is that it is a time of creativity and reconsideration of the practices and norms – a challenging moment for journalism to reinvent itself in the context of the evolving digital media environment. It is equally an exciting time for journalism scholars to review concepts and methods, and question the durability of findings that were taken for granted.

From a definitional point of view, media literacy is an umbrella concept that expands cross-thematically to various areas of knowledge, communication, and information. Thus, a preferred policy framework would be a combination of an intersectoral developmental agenda that, like concentric circles –—spinning in different directions simultaneously—–engages social, educational, media, and civic duties. Such duties may be the right to freedom of expression, the right to seek valuable information and content, and the right to access and evaluate it toward UNESCO-led Media and Information Literacy (MIL) societies. This paper focuses on the Greek reaction to the pandemic with regard to media and digital literacy toward setting a sustainable policy infrastructure, inspired by the vast challenges and policies driven on an EU level that favor media literacy.

Islamic radicalization has increased and became a significant issue in Southeast Asia since 2001. Faith-based organizations have supported the radical spreading of misinformation, and therefore various measures have many casualties. the development of Islamic radicalism in Southeast Asia is starting to spread in Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia, mostly via social media. This research focuses on how the ideology of ISIS affects (re-activated) radical groups in Southeast Asia. More specifically, through discourse text analysis and frame analysis, this research aims to analyze similarities in discourses and frames through their communication campaigns. Besides, how the spreading of Islamic radicalism in Southeast Asia and broadening the scope of knowledge on the impact of Islamic radicalization in other regional countries also become a discussion. While ISIS shrinks in the Middle-East, the researchers argue that in recent years ISIS has started to affiliate with countries in Southeast Asia.

Digital and media literacy are recognized as tools of particular importance in strengthening young people's civic participation and understanding of the news. This element has become increasingly important with the proliferation of mis/disinformation especially on digital platforms. Generation Z, like Millennials before them, spend considerable screen time. They are native technophiles that have had touchscreen devices and smart features from their very early years. That is a critical factor in their media consumption as they reach adulthood. Yet, while they swipe, tap, like, and share, they're aware of how much attention their tech is getting. Through a study regarding media and information literacy among Generation Z (those who are 26 or younger) we provide data about the youngest generation in Greece (Generation Z) regarding their media and information consumption, and their relationship with MIL, Disinformation in relation with a critical factor that of reliability and trust in news sources and institutions.

This is perhaps because of diverse political and socio-cultural contexts within which news media operate. One aspect of media sustainability can be assessing it through the quality of content it produces. However, media do require enough resources of time, money, technology, and experienced professionals who are expert in producing quality content as per the public needs and demands. This implies that resources lie at the heart of maintaining media sustainability (Kluempers & Schneider, 2015).

Considerable research has examined how the regime type and the level of democracy relate with the probability of war. In addressing this issue, the article rests on the premise that democratization can be seen in two forms: a) as an internal process towards democracy b) as an external effort to promote or establish democratic regimes. Contributing to the debate regarding democratic peace theory, it is argued that democratization fails to deter states from pursuing their interests through war. However, and with regard to new forms of ‘wars’ like “terrorism”, democratization can provide both the much needed space for cooperation and the creation of pluralistic societies that will accordingly help to confront some of the sources of rage.

That is, in what way social sciences conceptualize meaning regarding the production and the transformation of mental and social structures, in this respect the development of modern classifi. According to our argument, social identities are conducive to the understanding of the mediation of the social sciences while performatively contributing to their political constitution, since they constitute obvious points of comprehension from the social sciences.

coronavirus has had on media around the world. The overarching
question is whether the pandemic presents a turning point
for the media landscape, or rather, if it reinforces pre-existing
trends. Recent developments are assessed along four parameters:
quality of media coverage, the economic situation of media
outlets, digitization, and freedom of the media. These are presented
in eleven different case studies.
The book brings together scholars from Western and Eastern Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia, reporting findings based on data collected from democratic, transitional, and non-democratic contexts to produce thematic chapters that address how journalistic cultures vary around the globe, specifically in relation to challenges that journalists face in performing their journalistic roles. The study measures, compares, and analyzes the materialization of the interventionist, the watchdog, the loyal-facilitator, the service, the infotainment, and the civic roles in more than 30,000 print news stories from 18 countries. It also draws from hundreds of surveys with journalists to explain the link between ideals and practices, and the conditions that shape this divide.
This book will be of great relevance to scholars and researchers working in the fields of journalism, journalism practices, philosophy of journalism, sociology of media, and comparative journalism research.
