This study focuses on the heavy drinking of unrecorded and unmonitored illicit liquor that has been associated with numerous fatalities in rural Central Kenya in spite of government's efforts to limit its supply and consumption. The communication for social change approach puts emphasis in community engagement, incorporating the unheard voices in defining the problem and designing appropriate interventions. Through focus groups and in-depth interviews to examine rural communities' perspectives on the root cause of the alcoholism problem and their perceive severity of the problem, the study found sociocultural, economic, and environmental factors that need to be addressed for successful alcohol prevention in the region. Although communities are aware of the severity of chronic alcoholism, they may not have proper understanding of the long-term health impact it has on consumers and the overall communities. Such findings are necessary in the design of culture-specific communication interventions that focus on social change beyond individual behavior.","PeriodicalId":16118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Communication","volume":"20 1","pages":"117 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13216597.2013.869240","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755427","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}

After the 14-year civil war and the revolution against the King in 2006, the leading political groups in Nepal reached an agreement on establishing a parliamentary system. In April 2008, a Constituent Assembly election was held and an interim constitution was introduced. The Interim Constitution protects the freedom of news and communication. This paper studies the condition of journalists after the 2008 Constituent Assembly election in Nepal. In-depth interviews were conducted with journalists working for popular national newspapers, online news organizations, and commercial television networks. The findings suggest that, despite the written protection of media freedom in the Interim Constitution, implementation of the protected rights remains a mission hardly accomplished. The situation is slightly better in the capital city than it is in other parts of the country. However, journalists nationwide still face threats and assaults as a result of what they report. Pressure comes from different levels, ranging from minority groups, armed forces, and even media owners. The government plays a weak role in providing security service to journalists.","PeriodicalId":16118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Communication","volume":"20 1","pages":"87 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13216597.2014.880362","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755520","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}

Consequently, women face discrimination in education, employment and in the home, and are victims of domestic violence. Inequality is more draconian in conservative societies where women are not allowed to vote or drive, nor can they travel or work without the man's permission. Aware of lack of societal support for their causes, women have turned to modern information technology, particularly social media in the forms of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and smart phones because they are virtual and free from stifling government controls. Remarkable progress has been recorded, including media positions and eventual reportage addressing women's inequality issues. More women are enrolling at universities and daring to enter even fields that heretofore were reserved for men. The gate is open, too, for careers that society deemed unacceptable for women because they required communicating with non-family males. To sustain initiatives to counter inequality and plan for the future, Arab women's organizations have sprung in the region, focusing on capacity building to enable women to acquire necessary know-how to effectively use media to address pervasive inequality.","PeriodicalId":16118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Communication","volume":"05 1","pages":"167 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13216597.2013.833537","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755331","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}

Of particular interest, is how the Australian curriculum, originally designed for graduates of a Western liberal higher education system, would translate to a culturally diverse group of students in Asia. The study was informed by the hypothesis that students in Asia would adopt an Eastern collective collaborative style and students in Australia would adopt a Western individualistic collaborative style. The survey was based on a US film-making questionnaire, which used Bilby's Wheelbook, a tool for assessing screen production personality types. The survey results demonstrated strong similarities in the collaboration styles of the two cohorts, revealing that a majority of students from both Australia and Singapore display traits of individualism, but acknowledging the importance of collaborative skills. The similarities suggest that globalization has had a significant impact on film-making practices, and that future curriculum planning should more clearly articulate these collaborative practices helping students to manage deadlines, resolve conflicts and sustain team dynamics.","PeriodicalId":16118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Communication","volume":"19 1","pages":"147 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13216597.2013.784209","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755227","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}

Signed languages, however, offer a rich domain of study for understanding communication in broader spheres than just these but have been largely overlooked in interdisciplinary discussion. In this article, I explore how signed languages are currently situated within the field of International Communication through analysis of EBSCOhost's ‘Communication & Mass Media Complete’ database in December 2012. Within the 770 journals included in this database, four journals that focused on deaf community and signed languages captured the majority of the international signed language articles. However, only about 34 articles incorporated signed languages internationally in 28 additional ‘mainstream’ journals. Applying Semati's framework of six themes within the field of International Communication, I show how international signed language research is only minimally addressed in three of the six themes related to nationalization, globalization and development communication, but how it offers new lenses for these areas. Finally, I argue that inclusion of signed language can expand the scope of International Communication as a whole, offering as a first example the Internet's unique role in transborder information flow among signed language users.","PeriodicalId":16118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Communication","volume":"13 1","pages":"272 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13216597.2013.833536","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755322","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}
