This study analyzes N=181 social media rumors from Bangladesh to find out the most popular themes, sources, and aims. The result shows that social media rumors have seven popular themes: political, health & education, crime & human rights, religious, religiopolitical, entertainment, and other. Also, online media and mainstream media are the two main sources of social media rumors, along with three tentative aims: positive, negative, and unknown. A few major findings of this research are: Political rumors dominate social media, but its percentage is decreasing, while religion-related rumors are increasing; most of the social media rumors are negative and emerge from online media, and social media itself is the dominant online source of social media rumors; and, most of the health-related rumors are negative and surge during a crisis period, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper identifies some of its limitations with the data collection period, data source, and data analysis. Providing a few research directions, this study also elucidates the contributions of its results in academia and policymaking.

The focus of this research is the practice of journalism in relation to the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship (JFPP) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Journalists and curators who are participants in the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship received fundings from the state. The Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship is a unique model because it is the only one in the world in journalism practice that involves state's financial assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. These fundings from the state for the media lead to dilemmas and controversies. This research uses a qualitative approach and a single holistic case study method. The Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship was held from May to December 2021, involving 7,276 journalists from 857 media (print, television, radio, and online media) and 26 curators. This study found that during the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship, journalism experienced a crisis and lost its function as a control overpower. Giving cash to journalists and curators during the fellowship makes journalism lose its independence and objectivity. The Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship has degraded or eliminated the function of the press as a watchdog. Incentives for journalists while participating in the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship is a long-term investment by the government to co-opt Indonesian media and journalists in the future. On the other hand, the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship raises another aspect; the crisis of journalism. Journalism work produced in the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship does not reflect the values and principles of journalism. Journalism values, such as independence and impartiality, are absent from the Behavioural Change Journalism Fellowship product.

우리나라 온라인 저널리즘 지형의 과거, 현재, 미래는 무엇보다 포털 뉴스서비스와 밀접한 연관이 있다. 전통 저널리즘에서 한정된 뉴스미디어는 뉴스 생산과 유통을 동시에 수행하기 때문에 소비를 완전히 장악할 수 있었다. 이후 다매체다채널 시대에는 뉴스미디어가 큰 폭으로 증가하고 이에 따라 뉴스 생산이 폭발적으로 늘어나면서 수용자의 선택이 중요하게 됐다. 온라인 저널리즘 환경에서는 각종 뉴스 이용을 간편하게 만든 포털 뉴스서비스에 대한 이용의 집중, 뉴스미디어 브랜드보다는 뉴스 콘텐츠에 집중하는 뉴스 소비의 특성 등으로 인해 뉴스 유통이 가장 중요한 영역으로 부각됐다. 포털 뉴스서비스가 온라인 저널리즘의 상징적 존재가 되면서 뉴스 유통 중심의 우리나라 저널리즘 지형이 완성된 것이다. 뉴스 유통만을 담당하는 포털 뉴스서비스가 뉴스를 생산하는 언론사닷컴이나 인터넷신문보다 더 큰 영향력을 가진다는 것은 언론 권력의 변화를 의미한다. 이로 인해 기존 뉴스미디어와 포털 뉴스서비스의 갈등이 곳곳에서 목격된다.

Repressive measures in the Crimea against the Ukrainian media and the ban on the entry of international and Ukrainian monitoring missions created the conditions for the function of providing information to be performed by representatives of civil society. Such a phenomenon was called Crimean citizen journalism and became a post-occupation phenomenon characteristic of the Crimean information sphere. The journalists' activities are aimed at reporting on human rights violations and repression against Ukrainian citizens who find themselves in conditions of information bans and restrictions. Crimean citizen journalism, which connects the peninsula with the mainland of Ukraine, is monothematic in nature, and its emergence has become a form of nonviolent resistance to the occupation of Crimea. The purpose of the study is to cover the characteristic features, the development of common Crimean citizen journalistic movement features as a social phenomenon, a phenomenon that arose after the occupation through the identification of a modern journalist portrait. The study uses the general scientific method of empirical research as the main one, the sociological method of a questionnaire survey, as well as the methods of classification, generalisation, observation, statistical calculation. An analysis of a survey of Crimean citizen journalists demonstrates the existence of an active, mobile community in Crimea that seeks to provide information and human rights nonviolent resistance to the occupation.

Compared to the influences of Korean art journalism, the researches on them are rarely conducted. This study aims to examine the influence of art journalism in art magazines in Korea. Although it is essential to consider media, journalism, public opinion altogether, I focused only on the media due to the absence of previous studies I have analyzed the current conditions of korean art journalism, types of feature articles, sponsors, their relations with articles and the comparison with foreign art journalism in terms of production conditions. There have been about one hundred art magazines published in previous sixty years and currently there are twenty three. Monthly periodicals are the majority: the publishers are sorted out as publishing houses, galleries, newspaper company in order specialized art magazines developed from the eighties. Through an examination of feature articles in these art magazines, I found that they repeated similar art issues and covered the same artists sponsors and articles. Moreover, when the magazines went through the conflicts between managers and editors, the ascendency of managers obstructed the development of art journalism regarding journal quality. These days, art journalism have been comparatively regressed compared to other art systems such as art museums, curatorship, international aft festivals, distributions and art promotion policies. The main causes for failure were the lack of professional management, the limited effort to diversify sponsors, and the repetition of the same informants and events without making an effort to be specialized Magazines are published media which contribute to the creation of culture, distribution, and preservation. Therefore art magazines can be said the most influential media in forming art culture and distributing it. It is quite necessary to reform the problems of repeating of information and the lack of speciality in conjunction with the commitment of management and editorialship.

Referred to as a 'media war,' there is a fierce competition for media discourse between different countries. Twenty four hour global news channels like Al Jazeera, France 24, RT, NHK World, China's CCTV and teleSUR emerged to offer their own perspectives and stance in the global society, and to face the monopolization and distorted information created by the hegemony of English news channels which have swayed international public opinions for a long time. As a tool of public diplomacy, the media's role in determining the image of the nation and winning the 'Hearts and Minds' of the international community is decisive, but it cannot be said that they all have a similar influence or play a positive role in media diplomacy. A global news channel, which is both a media diplomatic subject and a journalism organization, can be in the position of acting as a public relations organization or a propaganda agency for the government depending on the regime's attitude because most of global news channels receive support from the government. Sometimes it is difficult for these media to implement quality journalism because of financial difficulties. Media discourse also has limitations in that it is dependent upon changes in foreign policy of its own government. This study examines the current status of global news channels, the dilemma these channels are facing, and suggests some potential directions that can be taken by global news channels in order to become more effective. It is becoming increasingly important for all nations to respond to distorted information about their own countries, to appropriately identify various issues and changes in the international community and to convey their views and positions to the international community. For now, there is a lack of awareness about the importance of media diplomacy in Korea: There are many English-language media, but as yet no global news channel which could have an influence on the international stage. However, there seems to be some understanding about the need for the media to present the Korean alternative discourse to the senseless dependency on Western media. We hope that this study will be an opportunity to think in depth about the attitude of the Korean global media, whether existing global media or new global news channels, in order to help them become more effective in media diplomacy.

미디어 빅뱅이란 말이 나올 만큼 미디어가 폭발적으로 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 정작 저널리즘은 위기를 맞는 역설적 현상이 나타나고 있다. '사람들(수용자)이 자유로워지고 자신을 스스로 통제하는 데에 필요한 정보를 제공하는' 저널리즘의 목적에 비추어 볼 때, 저널리즘의 위기는 곧바로 '수용자 복지'의 훼손으로 귀결된다. 따라서 저널리즘 위기의 실체를 정확히 규명하는 일이 저널리즘의 공공성을 확보할 수 있는 선행과제다. 이 논문은 저널리즘의 존재 원칙에서 진실과 공정을 기본윤리로 개념화하고, 한국 저널리즘이 얼마나 그 기준에 부합하는지를 분석했다. 그 결과 우리 시대가 풀어가야 할 주요 의제에 대해 한국 저널리즘은 진실과 공정의 기본 윤리조차 지키지 않고 있음을 확인했다. 저널리즘 위기의 실체를 근본적으로 '존재 원칙의 위기'로 규명한 뒤 이를 극복하기 위한 방안을 제시했다. 미국의 '저널리즘을 걱정하는 언론인위원회'의 연구를 소개하며, 한국 언론학계가 언론 단체와 유기적 결합을 통해 저널리즘 살리기에 나설 것을 제안했다.

언론의 상업주의란 목적과 수단이 전치된 상황을 의미한다. 다시 말해 언론의 목적을 제대로 수행하기 위한 수단으로서 적정한 이윤이 필요하지만, 이윤에 집착함으로써 그 목적을 잃어버리거나 저널리즘의 질을 떨어트리는 행태이다. 상업주의화는 상업주의의 과정이 심화되는 경향을 말한다. 서구에서는 1990년대 중반 미디어 시장에 대한 규제완화와 더불어 언론의 상업주의가 득세하고 있다. 한국도 이명박 정부가 들어서면서 언론과 관련한 대부분의 법률들이 서구와 유사한 규제완화의 길로 접어들었다. 이 때문에 한국에서도 언론의 상업주의화에 대한 우려가 팽배하고 있다. 특히, 신문과 방송의 교차소유 허용과 함께 4개의 종합편성채널이 시장에 진입함으로써 거대한 지각변동이 예상된다. 제한된 광고시장에서 무한 출혈경쟁이 불가피할 전망이다. 이들 종합편성채널은 미디어렙을 통하지 않고 직접 광고판매가 가능함으로써 신문과 연계된 다양한 광고도 선보일 것이다. 이 때문에 언론의 상업주의화에 대한 우려가 기우에 그치지 않는 것이다. 이러한 언론 상업주의의 문제점을 보다 깊이 고찰하기 위해 본 논문은 예술계와 선도국의 사례를 비교사적으로 접근했다. 이를 통해 언론의 본질을 재조명하는 한편, 취재보도의 윤리와 언론인의 사명이 중요함을 밝혔다.
