Sir Karl Popper developed the concept of the `open society' after the defeat of Fascist totalitarianism. Mikhail Gorbachev's concept of glasnost has became a major factor in the defeat of one of the main enemies of the open society — Stalinist totalitarianism and authoritarianism at the end of the 20th century. Now it is the turn to fight terrorism, extremism, fanaticism, intolerance, fundamentalism and totalitarianism in the framework of a global, interdependent conglomerate of nations. And this poses new challenges to the open society, which can be solved only in a global context.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"64 1","pages":"425 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/17480485020640050301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552218","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}

The poor performance of the PLDT can be attributed to ineffective political and regulatory institutions resulting in increased political patronage and uncertainty.

Performance of the São Paulo state company, Telesp, can be attributed to political and economic policies at the national and state level and political/regulatory structure of the Telebras system. Mismanagement and corruption at the ministerial and firm level played a less crucial role in the firm's overall performance than they did in the case of the PLDT.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"64 1","pages":"371 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/174804850206400404","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552095","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}

The starting point of assessing press freedom should be the world system, not the ‘atomistic’ nation-state, because one cannot understand the part without knowing the whole, which is more than the sum of the parts. This article proposes the application of a revised formulation of the world system theory – which presumes a capitalist world-economy dominated by three competing center-clusters each associated with a dependent hinterland of peripheral economic clusters – to examine global press freedom. It proposes a three-tiered typology for measuring press freedom at the world system, nation-state and individual levels. It suggests that press freedom indices should factor in the power of the center-clusters, themselves led by a hegemon cluster, to flood the hinterlands technologically with a barrage of information-communication.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"64 1","pages":"343 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/174804850206400403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552557","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}

The analysis is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out with middle-class households in West Bengal, India during 1998–2000. A number of specific themes are explored. These include: television and rampant consumerism; the impact of ‘Bollywood’ film cultures; television and the portrayal of women; and the way satellite and cable television programmes, especially popular cultural programmes (e.g. music videos) and advertisements, impact on established cultural patterns and activities. The research shows that while a public, more liberal tolerant culture prevails in Bengal, the private world of the family nevertheless retains many aspects of traditional moral and hierarchical principles. Divisions of opinion about the social impact of television among the middle classes are explained in terms of the nature of middle-class cultural formation in Bengal since the time of British colonization of India. In light of the examples and research findings presented, this article broadly considers the trajectory of Indian modernity, considers the debates over high culture vs low culture in the Bengali context, and more generally explores the localized impact of cultural globalization.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"64 1","pages":"323 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/174804850206400402","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552513","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}

Specifically, it was examined whether (1) coverage of the same cross-national issue differed in level of support and (2) the two national media applied different news frames. The study showed that the British print media opposed the Euro even with pro-Euro sources, whereas the German print media maintained neutrality. The British press used an episodic, while the German press employed a thematic style. The difference in styles allowed for different covering of subissues. Overall, the findings point to the fruitfulness of including story frames (news style) and media position in the international agenda-setting process. There seems to be, in general, an interesting relationship between media position, sources' position, news frame styles, subissues and issue effect. Discernible differences in the journalistic product between national news print media appear ultimately to be a result of different worldviews and identity concepts, influencing the agenda-setting effect.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"78 1","pages":"219 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/17480485020640030101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552275","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}

Though never explicitly trusted as a credible information source, the popularity of national radio in Afghanistan was critically weakened following the Communist revolution of 1978 and subsequent abuse of broadcasting under successive Afghan Communist regimes. Analysis highlights how the audience's thirst for unbiased information resulted in a substantial majority turning to the BBC World Service, this international service being perceived as a far more trustworthy and credible alternative. Discussion of the social history of Radio Afghanistan, the Taliban's Voice of Radio Shari'at and the BBC World Service serves to highlight the propagandist media machinery of the Communist era, the radical media policies of the Taliban regime and the value attributed to the BBC's current news reporting. In an example of the global becoming the local, the article concludes by examining how the BBC World Service has become the dominant radio broadcaster in Afghanistan and the extent to which this position is based on the quality of their outputs or their self-promotional discourses concerning impartiality.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"64 1","pages":"267 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/17480485020640030401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65552436","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}

The author overviews Internet development projects currently under way in Africa in general and Senegal in particular, revealing the interconnectedness of governmental and non-governmental initiatives with private capital interests.
