Turkey in the Greek media

Greece and Turkey in Conflict and Cooperation, 2019

With that in mind, this chapter has three aims. The fi rst is to analyze the dominant prism under which foreign policy making is navigated in Greece. The second, through an examination of the various studies that have been undertaken on Turkey and the media in Greece, is to present and discuss the dominant discourse and position of the media on foreign policy issues and in so doing analyze their role as a factor that contributes to the aggravation and perpetuation of the confl ict between the two countries. The third, but not the least, is to discuss the prospect of another approach of the media, an approach that does not conceive the relations between Greece and Turkey as a zero-sum game but creates opportunities to consider and to value non-confrontational and more balanced perspectives of the differences troubling both countries, emphasizing not what divides them but seeking to uncover and present areas of reconciliation.

Explaining the role and the impact of the social media in the Arab Spring

This is not to argue that the social media were “responsible” for the uprisings. The uprisings were made by the people of the Arab countries, but the social media acted as a powerful accelerant facilitating the events in ways that were crucial. In particular, and with emphasis on Egypt, we examine: (a) the socioeconomic dynamics and human insecurity of the region and (b) the role of the social media prior and during the uprisings in empowering “social non-movements” and “leaderless networks”, and igniting public mobilization, enabling civic engagement and journalism, as well as collaboration between activists at regional and global level.

Greek Correspondents and EU: Organic Critiques and Proposed Remedies to Address EU’s Communication Deficit

In this direction, EU-media relations are adopted as an analytical framework to discuss the communication deficit within the realm of EU democratic shortcomings. Based on the findings we develop recommendations and suggestions that could facilitate and contribute to the legitimacy of the EU and consequently also enhance trust in European institutions.

Coping with Europe: How Greek journalists deal with disconnections between the EU and national levels

There is a lack of research on how journalists from member states of the EU periphery deal with EU affairs. Greece being one of those member states is in our opinion an interesting case study, given circumstances like the financial or refugee crisis. We look at the challenges Greek journalists face in dealing with EU affairs, those they share with journalists from other countries, and those that are unique to the Greek case. We also look at certain coping strategies Greek journalists engage with in dealing with those challenges. Via our discussion we wish to offer a deeper insight into EU periphery journalists’ approaches to dealing with EU affairs and make recommendations for further research towards this direction.

Regimes of Truth in the Communication and Reporting of the European Union Post-Truth, Post-Propaganda or Just…Propaganda?

Journal of Media Critiques, 2017

The debate on the problems and future of the EU, both in the 'anti-European' and 'pro-European' c... more The debate on the problems and future of the EU, both in the 'anti-European' and 'pro-European' camps, is characterized by the exclusive emphasis on 'what might be true' and not on the whole spectrum of reality. Thus, there is need to problematize the supposed 'imminent threat' of 'post-truth'. Any discussion regarding the 'post-truth challenge' for today's Europe in general cannot be productive if we do not take into account the developments associated with the characteristics of information management. There is a need to juxtapose the 'post-truth' of the post-modern and post-industrial communication environment with the modernist notion of propaganda, not only to acquire the adequate theoretical evidence in order to assess whether we are dealing with a new phenomenon (post-truth), a 'new' version of an 'old' phenomenon (postpropaganda), but also to identify similarities and differences in terms of their causes, characteristics and possible implications for the EU.

Post-truth, propaganda and the transformation of the spiral of silence

Since then a handful of texts have sought to further describe and explore the notion, moving beyond the initial definition given by the Oxford Dictionary. This paper rejects the term 'post-truth', in favor of propaganda; since post-truth tends to be utilised as an evaluative term of contemporary political public discourse, as articulated by specific politicians, predominantly through social media. Taking the field of information management as its starting point, our approach underlines the diachronic character of persuasion efforts through information management, understood as propaganda in the public sphere. As a notion, propaganda, in contrast to post-truth, encapsulates both the diachronic character of information management in the public sphere and the groundbreaking transformation of the process of personal opinion expression, initially described by the spiral of silence model, through the emergence of new interactive media.

Revisiting the public profile and communication of Greek NGO s in times of crisis

In particular, the Greek media have played a significant role in constructing the entire NGO sector as ethically corrupt, arguing that behind their do-gooder façade lie ulterior motives (Valvis 2014). To criticize, however, the whole NGO sector for lack of accountability, transparency and of non-democratic behavior not only fails to understand the political environment within which Greek NGOs have to operate, but also produces serious ambiguities regarding their presence and contribution. Bearing that in mind, in this commentary we briefly analyze the reasons behind the problematic image of the NGO sector in Greece. In so doing, we also discuss why and how the economic crisis since 2010 has provided NGOs with new opportunities to increase their inter-organization communication, and cooperate on the basis of a wider political and social agenda. We conclude by suggesting particular recommendations on the organization, administration, identity and communication of NGOs in Greece.

Their image is negative. With that in mind, the aim of this article is to examine the environment within which Greek NGOs have to operate, and in particular, the interaction between NGOs, the state and the media. In so doing, the following questions will be asked and analysed: first, what is the role and position of Greek NGOs in their interaction with the political system and the media? Are they an expression of bottom-up and citizen volunteerism or a top-down process? How does this enhance or undermine their autonomy and credibility? Second, which opportunities are available to Greek NGOs in a society where culture, combined with the unprecedented economic crisis, heavily doubts and challenges their existence and importance?

Αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι δεν απαιτείται βαθύτερη ολοκλήρωση. Ωστόσο, ίσως είναι επιθυμητό η ΕΕ να κάνει ένα βήμα πίσω και να σκεφτεί πώς μπορεί να ενθαρρυνθεί ένας πληρέστερος δημοκρατικός διάλογος προτού υιοθετηθούν τα επόμενα βήματα της ολοκλήρωσης. Κάνοντας ένα τέτοιο βήμα πίσω μπορεί στη συνέχεια να συμβάλλει στην παγίωση των θεμελίων στα οποία στηρίζεται η ευρωπαϊκή ολοκλήρωση…

Προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση, το πρώτο μέρος του βιβλίου (κεφάλαια 1-2), εξετάζει τις κεντρικές έννοιες καθώς και τις κύριες θεωρητικές προσεγγίσεις της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής μέσα από μία σύγχρονη και κριτική ματιά. Με αυτό το υπόβαθρο, το δεύτερο μέρος (κεφάλαια 3-8), εξετάζει και αναλύει όλες τις κατηγορίες δρώντων της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής και τη συνεργιστική αλληλόδρασή τους. Ειδικότερα, εξετάζει το σύγχρονο ρόλο του κράτους, την εξάπλωση των αρμοδιοτήτων του αλλά και των προκλήσεων που αντιμετωπίζει, με μία παράλληλη συζήτηση των δομών περιφερειακής ολοκλήρωσης και παγκόσμιας διακυβέρνησης, καθώς και των μη-κρατικών δρώντων (επιχειρήσεις και ΜΚΟ) που σε πολλές περιπτώσεις συμπράττουν στη διαμόρφωση και λήψη αποφάσεων. Στόχευση του βιβλίου είναι να κατανοήσουν οι φοιτητές τις περίπλοκες διαδικασίες μέσα από τις οποίες οι διαφορετικοί δρώντες διαμορφώνουν την πολιτική στο παγκόσμιο σύστημα. Συνολικά, το προτεινόμενο σύγγραμμα επιδιώκει την απομάκρυνση από απλουστευτικές και μονο-παραγοντικές θεωρήσεις και την κατάδειξη της πολυπλοκότητας των διαδικασιών και των δομών της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής μέσα από την αύξηση των κατηγοριών των διεθνών δρώντων, καθώς και των πολλαπλών οδών μέσω των οποίων αυτοί συν-διαμορφώνουν το παγκόσμιο σκηνικό. Επιχειρεί, στο ίδιο πλαίσιο, να καταδείξει και τη μετάβαση από τη διεθνή στην παγκόσμια πολιτική και να πλαισιώσει τα παραδοσιακά ζητήματα που άπτονται του εθνικού συμφέροντος με την ανάδειξη της ανάγκης παροχής παγκόσμιων δημόσιων αγαθών.

Celebrity activism is an ever-growing, internationally visible phenomenon—yet the impact of these high-profile humanitarians on public awareness, government support, and mobilization of resources remains under-researched. Bringing together a diverse group of contributors from media studies and public diplomacy, Transnational Celebrity Activism aims to fill that void with a new interdisciplinary framework for the analysis of celebrity activism in international relations.

Στην πρώτη συλλογή αυτού του είδους, έγκυροι δημοσιογράφοι και μελετητές των ΜΜΕ διερευνούν το μέλλον των διεθνών ειδήσεων. Τα θέματα που πραγματεύονται περιλαμβάνουν τη συνεχιζόμενη άνοδο των πανίσχυρων ειδησεογραφικών ομίλων, τις εθνοκεντρικές ανισότητες στην κάλυψη και διάδοση των ειδήσεων, την ανάδειξη μη αγγλόφωνων ειδησεογραφικών καναλιών, προσεγγίσεις για την αναδόμηση της διεθνούς ειδησεογραφικής ατζέντας, τις επιδράσεις των νέων τεχνολογιών παραγωγής και διάδοσης ειδήσεων, τη ρητορική των διεθνών ειδήσεων, τις φαντασιώσεις του κοινού σε σχέση με το «παγκόσμιο» και πώς αντιλαμβάνονται την κάλυψη των διεθνών ειδήσεων. Σ' ένα διάλογο ταυτόχρονα περιγραφικό και κανονιστικό, το βιβλίο αυτό αποτελεί έναν πρώτο χώρο συνάντησης επαγγελματιών των ΜΜΕ, ακτιβιστών και πανεπιστημιακών, ομάδων που ώς τώρα δεν «μιλούσαν την ίδια γλώσσα», αλλά ανακαλύπτουν πια ότι μοιράζονται κοινούς προβληματισμούς.

Μάλιστα, πριν κοπάσει η κάλυψη και συζήτηση μιας κρίσης από τους δημοσιογράφους, τους ειδικούς, τους αναλυτές και τους πολιτικούς, εμφανίζεται και πρωταγωνιστεί στη δημόσια σφαίρα μια νέα κρίση. Θα μπορούσε κανείς να υποστηρίξει ότι αυτό οφείλεται στην επανάσταση της πληροφοριακής και επικοινωνιακής τεχνολογίας, η οποία ενίσχυσε τη δυνατότητα των εγχώριων και διεθνών δημοσιογραφικών οργανισμών να εξασφαλίζουν αδιάκοπη ροή ειδήσεων. Γεγονότα όπως ο πόλεμος στο Αφγανιστάν και το Ιράκ, οι διαδηλώσεις στην Ουκρανία και η πτώση του Μουμπάρακ στην Αίγυπτο μετατρέπονται σε κορυφαία δημοσιογραφικά γεγονότα που προβάλλονται ακαριαία σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο, αυξάνοντας τη γνώση και την αντίδραση των πολιτών για εκατομμύρια ανθρώπων που πλήττονται από συγκρούσεις και βία 1 .

Φραγκονικολόπουλος, Αναπληρωτής Καθηγητής Διεθνών Σχέσεων ΑΠΘ https://auth.academia.edu/ChristosFrangonikolopoulos Το «Πριν από Μνημόνιο δεν έβλεπες…» του νεαρού διεθνολόγου Τριαντάφυλλου Καρατράντου δεν είναι ένα ακόμη βιβλίο της εποχής της κρίσης, είναι η περίληψη σε μία και μόνο πρόταση του περιεχομένου των κειμένων που περιλαμβάνει και τα οποία γράφτηκαν από το 2007 έως και το 2010, και φιλοξενήθηκαν στο blog Ελληνικό Καφενείο, στο blog του ΕΛΙΑΜΕΠ, στην ηλεκτρονική επιθεώρηση Προοδευτική Πολιτική, στο portal Mediasoup, Παραπολιτική και Athens Voice. Μέσα από τα κείμενα του (για την ελληνική κουλτούρα, κοινωνία, πολιτική και εξωτερική πολιτική), τα οποία λειτουργούν ως μικρές ερμηνευτικές υποθέσεις ο συγγραφέας ξεδιπλώνει τον προβληματισμό του, την αγωνία του καλύτερα, για την κρίση που έβλεπε πως ερχόταν, στηλιτεύοντας τις πολιτικές και κοινωνικές ρίζες που δημιούργησαν την κουλτούρα της κρίσης και ροκάνιζαν από χρόνια τα αδύναμα θεμέλια της «κανονικότητας» της Ελλάδας.

It puts into practice the theory taught by a strong faculty and offers possibilities for scholarships, internships and trips to the European parliament, the Commission, the UNHCR and the CERN among others. This allows students of the two pathways of the MA in Digital Media, Communication and Journalism, one in European Journalism, the other in Risk Communication and Crisis Journalism to learn hands-on a profession which is in deep need of renewal and reform.
