Abstract This study examined how a college radio station responded to the prolonged social distancing measures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic through practice and place-based approaches. DZUP, the radio station of the University of the Philippines Diliman was chosen for the study. Attention was given to the first year of the pandemic (March 2020–March 2021). Participant observation and focused interviews through online video conferencing were conducted to collect data for the study. The case study showed that DZUP was compelled to realign its programming and production practices to be able to stay on the air and serve its communities. In the process, several issues emerged including poor interconnectivity, the need for efficient equipment, the lack of technical skills needed for producing content on the part of some producers, and extended work schedules that affected the work-life balance of the producers. The study also revealed that the home as a place for making radio presented realities that tended to compromise the standards for aural production and delivery of content. The research highlighted the resiliency of radio in stepping up to the challenges brought by COVID-19.

Abstract Scientific research has revealed that global warming is getting irreversible with the passage of time and it is largely a human-induced phenomenon. India is one of the top three emitters of carbon dioxide in the world. However, the general public in India is unaware of what actually causes anthropogenic (human-induced) climate change. This study is undertaken to assess the level of climate change awareness and willingness to adopt mitigation actions by the students (N = 657) of higher education in Tripura, a small state in North East India, bordering Bangladesh on three sides. In addition, the study also attempts to draw whether there exist any correlations between the level of media usage with the level of climate change awareness and the level of climate change awareness with the level of willingness to adopt climate change mitigation actions. The results show that students of higher education in Tripura have a high level of climate change awareness, and the primary sources for climate change-related information are the Internet, TV, and newspapers. The scientists were the most trusted sources of climate change-related information followed by the mass media. The findings also establish that the students are willing to adopt climate change mitigation actions, even if it costs them something extra. The students who are willing (7.6%) and extremely willing (65.4%) to embrace climate change mitigation actions constituted more than 70% of the total respondents of the survey. The paper concludes that the level of willingness to adopt climate change mitigation actions was found to be significantly correlated with the level of awareness of the consequences of climate change when media are key actors in the dissemination of information; however, the level of understanding about solutions for climate change is not correlated with the level of awareness about the causes of climate change.

In this issue, there are six refereed articles addressing various challenges of media research in Asia. Abdul Wahab Siddiqi, Haroon Hakimi, and Faisal Karimi (In conflict between leaving and staying: identifying the challenges of women journalists and the effects on the intention to leave the journalism profession) conclude that emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, family job conflict, society job conflict, and intention to leave the job have a positive and significant relationship. Neelam Sharma (Populism and social media use: comparing the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic use of Twitter during the 2014 and the 2019 election campaigns) stresses that the research subject initially used Twitter to discredit the opposition and then later changed tactics to focus on self-promotion and establishing a direct connection with voters. Zizheng Yu and Nairui Xu (The emergence of “consumer sphere”: the logics behind short video activism tactics of Chinese consumers) observe that discussion and sharing of short videos help unite consumers as they bring the individual issue to the public spotlight. Tra My Nguyen and Anh Duc Do (“Second-class citizens”: framing domestic migrant workers in Vietnamese news media during the fourth wave of COVID-19) find out that migrant workers were reported in the media as pitiful, vulnerable, and helpless victims of the pandemic while they were blamed for new outbreaks. Prashanth Bhat and Kalyani Chadha (Expanding public debate? Examining the impact of India’s top English language political talk shows) stress that television talk shows in India were fixated on promoting religious majoritarianism, defending government policies, and advocating hyper-nationalism. Sadia Jamil (COVID-19 pandemic and science reporting in Pakistan) explores the influences on Pakistani journalists’ science reporting at the individual, routine, organizational, social-institutional, and social system levels. Aside from the six refereed articles, two non-refereed commentaries by David Robie and Tracy Mae Ildefonso discuss media-related challenges in New Zealand and the Philippines. Four non-refereed reviews by Argha Basu, Goutam Karmakar, Manoj Kumar, Payel Pal, Amit Sharma, and Priyanka Tripathi explain how the media are depicted in selected Indian films.

Abstract Across time, in a variety of forms and spaces -from homes and workplaces to digital domains of social media- women have become victims of sexual harassment. Over the last couple of years, the world has witnessed appalling cases followed under the #MeToo campaign that has inspired an increasing number of women to share their experiences of sexual harassment in different contexts. Nevertheless, social and family pressures may discourage female journalists operating in conservative societies to express their concerns and experiences. The case of Pakistan is noteworthy. While women constitute a major proportion of the Pakistani society, the country’s men hold power in all major sectors and institutions. Sexual harassment can hinder women’s professional lives in any sector. However, female journalists’ experiences of sexual harassment are hardly documented in the academic literature about the Pakistani news media. Thus, informed by the framework of postcolonial feminist theory and intersectionality, this study aims to contribute an analysis of how sexual harassment is experienced by the Pakistani female journalists in the country’s mainstream, as well as ethnic news media. To achieve this aim, this study uses qualitative methods of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions and offers a thematic analysis of data.
