INCREASED NEWS ACCESS FOR INTERNATIONAL NGOs?     

《Journalism Practice》2013,7(4):430-445

The combined interplay of commercialisation, digitalisation and globalisation offers opportunities for international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to gain more news access. We set up a quantitative content analysis to study how and to what extent press releases from the international NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were adopted in foreign coverage by four Flemish newspapers (1995–2010). First, the analysis shows that fewer articles were based on MSF press releases in 2010 than in 1995. Furthermore, we found that Flemish journalists generally supplemented the MSF press releases with additional information. The decreased agenda-building capacity of MSF can be explained by the nature of events (violent conflicts in 1995 versus natural disasters in 2010) and by the increased competition between NGOs in 2010. The fact that MSF press releases and articles increasingly discuss global issues nonetheless indicates that globalisation offers opportunities for international NGOs to enhance their agenda-building capacities. Second, our research found less evidence to support often heard complaints about “churnalism” in newsrooms and showed that public relations can also be a positive factor in the news production process; specifically, we found that MSF press releases are often used to counterbalance the “official” message coming from political representatives or contending parties.  相似文献

Ethical Perspectives on Body Donation Following Physician-Assisted Death     

David Gareth Jones 《Anatomical sciences education》2020,13(4):504-511

The increasing availability of physician-assisted death (PAD) has opened up a novel means of making donated bodies available for anatomical dissection. This practice has come to the fore in Canada, but is unlikely to be confined to that country as legislation changes in other countries. The ethical considerations raised by this development are placed within the framework of the ethical guidelines on body donation promulgated by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists. The discussion centers on understanding the ethical dimensions of moral complicity, and whether it is accepted or rejected. If rejected it is possible to separate ethical concerns regarding PAD from subsequent use of donated bodies, as long as there is fully informed consent and complete ethical and procedural separation of the two. Openness about the origin of bodies for dissection is essential. Students should be instructed on the nuances of moral complicity, and consideration be given to those with moral doubts about PAD. Two issues are raised in considering whether these moves represent an ethical slippery slope: the attraction represented by obtaining relatively “high quality” bodies, and the manner in which organ donation following PAD has led to challenges to the dead donor rule. Although body donation raises fewer concerns, the ethical dimensions of the two are similar. The ethical constraints outlined here have the capacity to prevent an ethical slippery slope and constitute a sound basis for addressing an innovative opportunity for anatomists.  相似文献

Transparency and its determinants at Colombian universities     

Jesús Mauricio Flórez-Parra  María Victoria López-Pérez  Antonio Manuel López-Hernández 《高等教育研究与发展》2017,36(4):674-687

Over the past decade, one of the demands upon public institutions, among which we find universities, has been for transparency and improvement of accountability. In this context, Colombian universities are introducing different methods of management and governance aimed at addressing the demands of society generally in relation to transparency and quality in the activities that they carry out. The objective of the present study is to analyze and evaluate factors which affect the level of transparency at Colombian universities based on the rectors’ perception of these universities. The results obtained indicate that the level of transparency depends on the type of governance which is adopted, the level of prestige and the level of delimitation of its identity. Other questions such as size, budget or the public or private nature of the university have not proved to be significant explanatory factors of the degree of transparency.  相似文献   

The effect of epistemic fidelity and accessibility on teaching with physical materials: A comparison of two models for teaching decimal numeration     

Kaye Stacey  Sue Helme  Shona Archer  Caroline Condon 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2001,47(2):199-221

Multi-base arithmetic blocks (MAB) are the most frequently used physical materials for teaching about decimal numbers, despite published reservations about their appropriateness. This paper presents an alternative, LAB (linear arithmetic blocks) and compares the two materials on the basis of epistemic fidelity and accessibility for students. Two teaching experiments involving 30 matched students indicated that LAB is considerably more accessible for students, and identify three contributing factors (LAB modeling number with length rather than volume, MAB incorporating an apparent dimensional shift and having prior use). Use of LAB was associated with more active engagement by students and deeper discussion. Epistemic fidelity is critical to facilitate teaching with the models, but we attribute the enhanced classroom environment to the greater accessibility of the LAB material. Further research is warranted, so that teaching of mathematics with physical materials can be improved. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Key challenges of using video when investigating social practices in education: contextualization,magnification, and representation     

Marte Blikstad-Balas 《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2017,40(5):511-523

Audio- and video-recordings are increasingly popular data sources in contemporary qualitative research, making discussions about methodological implications of such recordings timelier than ever. This article goes beyond discussing practical issues and issues of ‘camera effect’ and reactivity to identify three major challenges of using video to ‘capture’ social practices: (1) getting close enough to details without losing context, (2) encountering the most severe consequence of ‘death by data’ – namely magnifying events that may not be significant to participants, and finally, (3) representing data so that an audience can actually assess whether inferences drawn from the data are plausible. These important issues directly impact the credibility of qualitative research relying on video. The article combines existing literature with contemporary examples from educational research to critically discuss these three key challenges and some possible ways of addressing them.  相似文献
