Bourgault (mass communication, Northern Michigan U.-Marquette) analyzes the historical, political, economic, social, cultural, and stylistic factors that have shaped media products in African radio, television, and newspapers. She investigates the three major influences of the precolonial legacy of the oral tradition, the presence of an alienated managerial class, and the domination of African nations by systems based on patronage, and looks at recent developments in technology and the move toward privatization.

This collection of essays has its origins in the MeCCSA 2007 conference held in Coventry in January that year. Like most edited volumes which emerge from conference contexts, this one comprises a richly diverse set of original papers which span the various themes and topics which together make up the fascinating field of media and communication.

Allgegenwärtig und auf vielfache Weise in den sozialen Alltag eingebettet sind die Produkte aus Film und Fernsehen ebenso Vermittler als auch Archivare gesellschaftlichen Wissens. Wie die medialen Produkte gestaltet sind – und damit zur Produktion von Bedeutung sowie der sozialen Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit beitragen – danach fragt eine soziologische Film- und Fernsehanalyse. Ihr geht es um eine Interpretation der Einstellungen und Sichtweisen, die durch die Machart des jeweiligen medialen Angebots nahegelegt werden. Im Fokus des Bands steht die konkrete Anwendung der Methode: von der ersten Forschungsidee einer Film- und Fernsehanalyse über die Fall- und Szenenauswahl, die Detailanalyse des Zusammenspiels von Bild und Ton bis hin zu Tipps für die schriftliche Darstellung der Ergebnisse. Jeder Arbeitsschritt dieses qualitativen Verfahrens wird anhand konkreter Beispiele aus der Forschungspraxis nachvollziehbar dargestellt. Als Untersuchungsgegenstände dienen u.a. Fernsehproduktionen wie Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Neo Magazin Royale, Germany’s Next Topmodel, aber auch Filme wie The Bling Ring, Sin City, Margin Call oder The Ides of March. Ziel dieser Publikation ist es, die Leserinnen und Leser zu einer eigenen Film- und Fernsehanalyse anzuleiten. Das Buch richtet sich an Bachelor- und Masterstudierende sowie an Lehrende in den Bereichen Soziologie, Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft sowie der Fernseh- und Filmwissenschaft. This practical introduction aims to communicate the principles of systematic research in film and television, from an initial idea for analyzing a production up to the written presentation of the results. Filled with many examples, the book will assist beginning and advanced students, serving as a useful guide to the research process.

The growing porosity of the boundaries between the justice system and the media should be considered with reference to the demands of the present age. It is difficult for contemporary societies to deal with a justice system that is closed in upon itself and oriented by a strict rationality. They demand more scrutiny of judicial decisions, clearer and more transparent discursive practices, and more accountability to the public and the media. However, these societies do not have any structure for mediating social reality and the formation of communicative opinion, which means that the communicational exchanges that take place in the various fields of collective life are amplified by being managed within a broad public area and used to construct a multiplicity of relations.ALT_QUEBRA_LINHADespite the areas of tension involved, the justice system and the media are, we believe, in a position to foster a better understanding, not only on a normative level, given the public responsibilities accruing to both institutions in contemporary democracies, but also empirically, as this book attempts to show. In fact, by stimulating reflection about the boundaries that join and separate the different levels of formal public deliberation, as represented by the courts, and the informal level represented by the media, this collection of texts manages to redeem the traditional theorization in this domain from a revived scepticism.
