The regional press serves as a fundamental pillar supporting the institution of democratic reporting in local communities. In Greece, regional development has been and continues to be uneven, resulting in disparities evident within the evolution of regional press across provinces. The financial crisis within the Greek economy, coupled with the prevalence of electronic media and social networks, has placed substantial pressure on the regional press. The objective of this study is to delineate the current situation and recent developments in the structure of Greece’s regional press, with a specific focus on daily newspapers. The study’s findings have established that the financial crisis, the growth of the internet, and the utilization of social media have brought about significant changes in the structure of publishing companies. However, it is noteworthy that despite their declining sales, there has not been a necessary impact on their readability.

State capabilities in securing cyberspace will determine national security in the real world because cyber data is related to conventional information. This condition makes cybersecurity a complex domain because of its virtual nature, but it can impact aspects in real space. This complexity is also because all parties can access cyber, causing conflicts such as competition for big data interests. This study aims to determine the dispute between TikTok and the United States government over the security of its users' data, especially users from the United States. The United States accuses TikTok of misusing US user data for Chinese intelligence. However, TikTok has denied the allegations. The qualitative method used in this research is based on data collection techniques through a literature study with secondary data support. As a result, TikTok requires user data for product and service development purposes. While the United States is more than that, big data users are a national asset determining their global economic position. There is no hard evidence to suggest that TikTok provided the Chinese government with the data of users from the United States. This paper also views the US government's interest as an extension of the local private sector. This view is based on the finding that TikTok's profits and popularity are far above their all-American competitors.

The "World Press Freedom Index" is published annually by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and aims to compare 180 countries and territories according to the level of freedom enjoyed by journalists and the media. For 2023, Greece is in position 107 on the list, occupying the last position among the countries of the European Union. As a result of the financial and political crisis, Greek journalists and media faced a deepening lack of trust in the country (Gioltzidou, 2018). In this context, the present study attempts an in-depth study of the potentially problematic aspects of the practice of journalism in Greece, starting from the level of coverage of international news on public television. The theoretical study is based on the research of Lent (1977), who concluded that national interests, censorship (internal or external), and an increasingly shrinking body of correspondents limit international news coverage in the media. In the empirical part, the research results obtained from the study of 66 news bulletins and 1447 separate news topics on the public television ERT3 during September 2021 were presented. The central research question of the study is "What is the role and the position of international news in news bulletins in Greece in cases of global crisis?".

The pandemic disrupted life across the globe. On short notice, health emergencies were declared. “Stay-at-home” orders instructed students, faculty, and staff to leave campuses as educational pursuits were expected to continue via distance technologies. Questions were and are still being asked about the impact of such a quick and unplanned change in the education process on students and on learning outcomes. This article investigates the impact of a stay-at-home order on student communication activities at a university over three semesters of the pandemic.

This paper examines the extent to which media and journalists cover European Union issues, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Are the media undermining the EU by the way they report it? How has journalism responded to the transformation of politics resulting from European integration? In order to answer to these research questions, we carried out a survey across four European countries – Germany, Croatia, Belgium, and Greece – searching for elements of convergence and divergence in the coverage of European news. Subsequently, we attempted a comparison of the amount of news produced by the European Union with the corresponding quantity of news produced in the chosen countries. The results show that there is a gap between the news that is produced by the European Union, compared to what is broadcasted at a national level, but also that there is a great difference between how each country chooses to cover issues of European interest.

This study looks at the role of media in conflict resolution. We rely on the lived experiences of 22 participants in carefully selected private electronic media firms in Zambia. This study was directed by qualitative technique and a Phenomenology research design based on functional and dysfunctional communication theory. This research proposes media companies engaged in perceived negative media and poor editorial practices, which are notorious for risking and undermining societal peace and harmony. Political propaganda, falsehoods, prejudices, discrimination, and biased media editorial policies were among the negative media behaviors highlighted. Other results included the fact that Zambia's media rules and regulations have been progressing toward media self-regulation under the open access to information statute. It was discovered that major media houses in Zambia have been attempting to tailor their editorial policies in line with the media's posited role of educating, informing, promoting dialogue, and creating meaningful debate on issues that improve public perceptions and interest in peace and conflict resolution. As a result, it is possible to infer that, in the right hands, the media is a panacea for peace and conflict settlement, but in the wrong hands, it is a threat to long-term peace and conflict resolution. Three recommendations were made for the media to act as a catalyst for conflict resolution in Zambia: (i) The Government of Zambia should pass the free access to information bill, which would improve accountability, transparency, and openness. Three recommendations were made for the media to act as a catalyst for conflict resolution in Zambia: (i) The Government of Zambia should pass the free access to information bill, which would improve accountability, transparency, and participation. (ii) The government should secure the safety of media personnel in the course of their duties; and (iii) media organizations and stakeholders should band together to reclaim their place as the fourth estate in peacebuilding.

This research examined the media impact on Vedda people in Dambana Village, Monaragala district, in the Uva province in Sri Lanka. The Vedda community is also known as Adivasi (Original inhabitants) or Wannilaeto, indigenous people in Sri Lanka. The Vedda people of Dambana are also in the process of modernization failing to maintain their identity. Some of them hide their identity by absorption into neighboring Sinhala or Tamil communities. Wannilaeto have a community radio station called Dambana Radio but it is not fully operational and the programs do not match their needs. The number of listeners is at a minimum level. The Dambana Vedda community has access to media. The younger generation has cellular phones and Tablet PCs. One hundred Vedda members have been interviewed onsite. Snowball sampling method implied. Snowball sampling method (the sample grows like a rolling snowball) is also known as network sampling. It is a non-probability sampling. Some of the Vedda people preferred to use their mother tongue (Wanniyalaththo language) and was assisted by a translator from the Vedda community. The research found that media has become one of the main factors influencing the Vedda people of Dambana, especially the younger generation. They change their lifestyles willfully and quickly adopt to alien cultures, especially, neighboring Sinhalese culture.

Neo-Prophetic Christian televisation has become a common trend in the contemporary Ghanaian media landscape. The approach of using television broadcast by religious groups has been linked to the liberalization of Ghanaian media which happened during the early 1990s. Despite the restriction in television frequency range across the world, prophets and preachers of the salvation message can be heard and seen in the homes of millions of believers and non-believers. In recent times, many neo-Prophetic churches in Kumasi have successfully established television stations to serve as a means to help them go about their ministry. This paper investigates the religious impacts associated with neo-Prophetic churches’ appropriation of television in Kumasi by analysing public statements and field opinions gathered through face-to-face and telephone interviews as well as focused group discussions. The study identified among other things that the reason for neo-Prophetic churches’ appropriation of television today is to make use of and/or provide a popular medium to disseminate prophetic teachings and activities all over the world and to bypass space limitation. The study revealed that neo-Prophetic churches’ appropriation of television comes with both positive and negative religious effects on viewers and Christianity in general. Among the positive impacts is the effective promotion of the Word of God and religious activities which as part of the reasons for the establishment of neo-Prophetic Christian television stations improves the religious life of viewers. The article concludes that neo-Prophetic Christian televisation has led to the fortification of the presence of Pentecostalism and consolidation of the neo-Prophetic phenomenon in Kumasi.

The study identified among other things that the reason for neo-Prophetic churches’ appropriation of television today is to make use of and/or provide a popular medium to disseminate prophetic teachings and activities all over the world and to bypass space limitation. The study revealed that neo-Prophetic churches’ appropriation of television comes with both positive and negative religious effects on viewers and Christianity in general. Among the positive impacts is the effective promotion of the Word of God and religious activities which as part of the reasons for the establishment of neo-Prophetic Christian television stations improves the religious life of viewers. The article concludes that neo-Prophetic Christian televisation has led to the fortification of the presence of Pentecostalism and consolidation of the neo-Prophetic phenomenon in Kumasi.","PeriodicalId":395314,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Communication and Media Studies","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116745170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
