RUDN JOURNALISM AS A SOCIOCULTURAL PHENOMENON BLOG

  By JOBIN KAIYAM PARAMBIL  ISSAC Social media is growing as the most relevant part of people's lives in the 21st Century. The Internet has taken over a major portion of youth's schedules and social media is one of the reasons why youngsters seem glued to their phones. Though there is no factor that suggests that the usage of social media is limited to youngsters, it is of course more popular among people belonging to the age group of 15-30 years. While the role of social media as a catalyst to bring change cannot be denied, it has brought too many of ill- effects along that are too significant to ignore. The utility of anything can be judged on the basis of the purposes it serves, keeping into consideration its negative impacts, if any. Such is the case of social media. It is a vast platform that serves entertainment and communication, and is a vast ocean of knowledge and information. There are a number of factors about social media that works together to make ...

By:Panda team( Nick Cao  &  Lucas Zhang &  Hassan Zeinab  &   John Zheng  ) When discussing the role of journalism in the development and growth of cultural phenomena, we must first clarify what cultural phenomena are and what are their main appearances.   The cultural phenomenon we are discussing today, I think, has existed since the emergence of human civilization, it can be the characteristics of food, clothing, housing, etc. I think it can reflect to a certain extent the degree of intelligence, lifestyle, etc. of the people at that time, and most importantly, it can show the direction of their cultural development, for the recent cultural phenomenon, it can know more information from it, such as the economic and political situation etc. For example, at the end of the 2nd millennium B.C., Syria entered the Iron Age. The Phoenicians, who lived in the central part of the eastern Mediterranean at that time, developed seafaring trade and...

 By: Yara Hasan Media Convergence simply refers to the merging of different types of mass media such as Traditional Media, Print Media, Broadcast Media, New Media and the Internet as well as portable and highly interactive technologies through digital media platforms. Jenkins breaks convergence down into five categories:   ·         Economic convergence occurs when a company controls several products or services within the same industry. For example, in the entertainment industry a single company may have interests across many kinds of media. For example,   in Syria “United group” is involved in: Magazines  such as . Marie Claire Arabic Magazine .  Newspapers  such as  Baladna Newspaper .  IVR Services:Syria Call.   Printing Services:   UG Printing houses for newspapers and publications .  Media Exclusive agents:for Al Jazeera satellite channel .  Official representative :  Cannes Lions ....

 Convergence in Henry Jenkins' view is an expression used to describe technological, industrial, cultural and social changes, depending on who is speaking and what they think they are talking about.  While Steven Johnson and Nicholas Carr argue that it is still difficult to predict how convergence and immersion in the media will affect culture, society, and individual brains, and that convergence is changing the way we engage with media today, they nonetheless each have a different viewpoint, As Steven sees, according to his book "Everything Bad is Good for You", modern technologies, modern media, megalomaniacs, video games and television today are mentally stimulating, in that they are cognitively challenging and invite active participation and problem-solving.  From another point of view, Nicholas Carr argues that the vast array of interconnected information available online erodes attention spans and makes contemporary minds distracted and less able to engage deeply an...

By Galkin Daniil My day begins by looking at the Twitter feed and the news on Google. I have access to television, I regularly read newspapers and listen to podcasts, which is why I have developed an observation for a long time - the media has changed forever. News is often sent to bystanders, using their footage, filming the moment of the incident on video, newspapers began to publish their notes both on paper and on the Internet, and even in the form of videos, TV shows are increasingly using YouTube as their platform, earning more views. than on television. Society is changing, its needs are changing, which is why journalism, like a mirror, like a mouthpiece of society, changes with it. In modern journalism, a professional should not only know how to find news, he should be able to do everything, regardless of his platform - he should be able to write, take up interviews, speak correctly, navigate the Internet, shoot videos and photos. Convergent journalism is an editorial office th...

By Galkin Daniil   It does seem like a rhetorical question – journalism, society, and culture. Three different, yet massively parallel institutions. If, for example, we take a country, a certain time period, and learn about their people, their culture, and their way of communication, we can actually get a good picture of how this country functioned at this time. So let’s dive in and try to solve this puzzle – what is the relationship between journalism, society, and culture? If we were to discuss journalism, culture, and society, then you should always try to speak to their definitions. Journalism is a system of disciplines, whether artistic, sociological, or cultural, for the collection, processing, and dissemination of information. Culture is one way or another of existence that determines the level of being at a given time site. Society is a human community that determines the specifics of the relationship between people. Culture and society are in a constant, stable relatio...

 Author: Galkin Daniil Digital and social media have become one of the most popular types of mass media in our time. It helps us to interact with people online, discover news and information in real-time, and have access to an almost endless amount of information in a blink of an eye. For businesses, social media have become an important tool of interacting and targeting their audience, building a culture and fanbase for their brand.  Social media popularity can be explained as it practically covers all the needs of a modern human with an internet connection – it provides entertainment, information, education, and discussion. Also, it is a tool for government, businesses, and other institutions for propaganda and monitoring people’s interactions, albeit it is quite a controversial topic for the masses. Of course, the adoption of the idea of social media started even before the Internet appeared on history’s scope, with a series of electronic dots and dashes tapped out by han...

 By:  Papiya Mondal and Said El marda News is that part of communication that keeps us informed of the changing events, issues, and characters in the world outside. Media is considered as a “mirror” of modern society, infect, it is the media, which shapes our lives. They, also have an impact on how individuals see the world and may cause them to alter their perspectives. In today’s world, the media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that is power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The mass media play a critical role in the organization of public opinion. As a result, the media has become an essential aspect of our lives. I explained below about the role of TV news channel (Zee News) and the Newspaper (The Times of India) and their responsibility to society: Both two media change of: 1. Information 2. Education 3. Entertainment 4. Advancement 5. Correlation of parts in society 1....

By Bernarda Vasquez -------- At first glance, both tend to be controversial… but let’s dig a little deeper to find out in what do they resemble and in what they differ. Editorial Cartoons and Wikileaks are types of mass communication media, this means they are tools used to deliver and receive information to mass audiences. There are different types of media, from traditional media like TV, radio and newspapers to digital forms like websites or social media. Media are a great contribution to society by getting information to large numbers of people, reaching out to remote places and promoting the union and economy of a community. Following I will describe in more detail the two types of media represented in the image above and what roles they play in society. On the one hand we have editorial cartoons, which are a unique form of journalism that utilizes satire and wit, with a tendency to ridicule its subjects. Since news must be unbiased and fact-based, cartoons have been adopted as a ...

Author:ZhangJiahui(Lucas) As the main carrier of cultural inheritance, mass media has a huge political impact on the public and society. Cultural convergence refers to the fact that people have a certain degree of similarity or identity in cultural values and aesthetics under the influence of certain ideas, so that culture has the same characteristics in a certain period of time and in a certain region. For example, which of the several experiences of ideological emancipation in China after the Cultural Revolution did not start from the media debate? An article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" triggered a big discussion on the standard of truth nationwide, which made the people of the whole country understand a basic philosophical problem that has been misled for a long time. Practice is a touchstone to test truth, not any leader or leader himself. The mass media has promoted the formation of fashion and the public's recognition of fashion culture. F...

 By：Panda team( Nick Cao & John Zheng & Hassan Zeinab  &  Lucas Zhang) Let me show you the conclusion firstly. The fundamental reason for the decline of the newspaper industry is that the delivery model has changed and newspapers have not kept up with this change. How did this happened? In the past, newspapers were monopolistic media, and advertisers were interested in their unique channel, readers are also need a resource of news. So both readers and advertisers were interested in newspaper. After the development of the Internet, the disadvantages of newspaper, or papers, were shown, it is slow, heavy, more expensive. And internet websites are instantaneous, charge-free, no weight, and watch it or not, when to watch it, that depends on you, you don’t need to waiting for newsboy. So the newspapers lost favor at the same time also lost a lot of income. With the net Internet website gradually into people's lives, accepted by the public, the network see...
