To carry out the objectives of the research, qualitative methodology was employed. Primary data were collected through in-depth interview method. The research concluded that journalists are facing a plethora of challenges such as editors’ lack of knowledge about environmental issues and science, lack of support from editors, lack of facilities such proper professional training for journalists, pressures from management of the newspaper with the space allocation, influences of advertisers and politicians, and complexity of environmental issues, and problems of getting information from the sources. In addition, according to responses of the participants, it is concluded that environmental journalism is not well-established in Sri Lanka, not having in-depth analysis on the environment. Comparing with Sunday Times newspaper, it is shown that Irida Lankadeepa newspaper and editors are not interested in the environment, and they have not allocated specific space for the environment. Furthermore, they pointed out that the reason for not to grant priority for the environment is environmental journalism is created by non-government organisations and their hidden intentions.","PeriodicalId":286963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Communication","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132403868","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}

Mobile phones despite their recent entry into agrarian communities are already helping those communities improve their agricultural activities. This allows the farmers to make a query in a local language from a mobile phone and receive personalized advice or relevant information on the same in local language. Keeping this in mind, a study was taken up to determine the perception of the respondents on mobile agro-advisory service. The study was taken up in Kanchipuram District with a sample of 120 registered members of Chennai Horticulture Produce Producer Company by using random sampling technique. The selected members of FPO obtained agro-advisory service through mobile phone. Usefulness of information through mobile service was measured under two dimensions viz., useful and not useful. Further, their perception on mobile service was also assessed against 12 items. Simple percentage was calculated based on their response. The findings on overall perception revealed that medium to high level of perception on usefulness of mobile advisory service was observed among majority of the respondents. Nearly three-fourth (74.16%) of the respondents reported that the information provided was both time and cost saving. Nearly three-fourth (73.33%) of the respondents expressed that they were satisfied with the local language used by mobile advisory service in delivering the agricultural information.","PeriodicalId":286963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Communication","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126896484","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}

Feeding the world efficiently and responsibly, while conserving the planet's natural resources, is a key sustainability challenge worldwide not only for dairy farmers but also for other food and agriculture sectors. In Kenya, smallhoder dairy commercialization programme's (SDCP) technical support component provided the beneficiary to the farmers with appropriate innovative technical skills and support to enable them to participate in and benefit fully from sustainable market-driven dairy enterprise. This study investigates utilisation of innovative dairy technologies initiated by SDCP for sustainable dairy enterprise development in Nyamira County, Kenya. The sample size was 220 smallholder farmers (109 men, 111 women; age range 27–77 years), which were drawn from 40 dairy groups in the programme area. Multistage sampling technique were employed. Interview schedule and focused group discussion were the main data collection methods. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics such as numerical counts, frequencies and percentages. The yes or no dichotomous was used to measure utilisation. The study reveals compost making (95.41%), polythene biogas digester (84.40%), organic fodder production-Tumbukiza (81.65%) and eco-milk packaging (74.77%) as most utilized dairy innovations among the respondents. Low cost market information system was the least utilised at 49.08%. The study recommends to the agricultural policy makers worldwide that the replication of these technologies among smallholder dairy farms so as to continue providing nutritious, hygienic and market-driven dairy products while optimising sustainable natural resource use. Digital application-low cost market information system, should be enhanced through professional groups to help address proliferation of unsubstantiated facts.","PeriodicalId":286963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Communication","volume":"33 35","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113941378","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}

However, governmental policies have had dominant impacts on its development. Specifically, during the campaigns for presidential elections in 2009, in the absence of freedom of speech in real world and stagnancy of traditional media in providing a criticising content in favour of democracy, citizen journalism played a major role in covering the news in the independent space of the web. Since then, the Iranian state authorities have inevitably decided for new strategic plans in order to control and object the flow of free information through virtual social networks. One of the strategies inducing publicly that cyberspace and its provided opportunities are threats to national security and therefore, establishing and enhancing a cyber army to save the virtual battlefield have been adopted as an implicative response to the situation. Now, it is quite arguable to claim that Iranian cyber army has operated successfully and the human resources who support the governmental policies and could be referred as pro-government warriors in soft war are still ready to keep on their predefined roles. This research activity, including an initial survey on the literature of soft war and a brief chronology of formation of the Iranian cyber army, performs an analysis on a number of determined statistical features of the online activity of these pro-government warriors in order to evaluate the validity of the acclaimed statement. In this paper, by referring to the quantitative outcomes of the study, it is tried to clarify whether the Iranian state authorities have successfully managed pro-government cyber warriors or not.","PeriodicalId":286963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133497780","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}
