Call for Papers: Journal of Media Watch -2014 April - May issue
Trendy transitions and turbulent times in the Media Spectrum
The Journalism and Mass Communication spectrum is undergoing a
swift yet strategic metamorphosis. Amidst the growing number of media
companies fighting for existence, the mediated world is on a mad rush
for new operating systems and apps. The role and responsibility of the
journalists are being redefined in the increasing digitalization and the
influx of media companies. Technological up-gradations and e-revolutions
put forth a challenging as well as a convenient avenue for the mass
communicators. The Broadcasting companies now encourage the audience to
send and share pictures through Instagram and progressively support the
citizen video on their websites and news reporting. CNN started the move
now followed by all the major players.BBC is undergoing massive
restructuring and digitalization on its famous headquarters to its
reporting outlets in order to face the growing challenges of social
media turned community based news disseminators. Fox news is compelled
to redefine its political manipulative and business gimmicks.
Social-networking sites are ruling the process of news
dissemination and discourse initiation accelerating a novel way of
participation. 140 characters revolutionize the news world- Twitter gone
public issue with the much hyped and celebrated stock exchange listing.
Fight for survival and success continues in the social world with Snap
Chat, the latest image-sharing application through mobile apps boldly
rejected the 3 billion takeover offers from Facebook.
Themedia management sector is not devoid of vicissitudes and
revolution. Millionaires are increasingly turning their attention to
media companies that in turn redefine the objectives of the firm - one
of the contemporaries include the millionaire Gina Rinehart, the mining
heiress in Australia who have a significant stake holdings in the media
companies. Gina’s predatory buy out of newspapers and news media against
carbon tax is continuing. Those under her ownership are facing the
cannibalistic future. Media moguls continue to expand their horizon
through crossovers and mergers - Ted Turner turned 75, still have a
successive career in the news world with more and more ventures in his
bouquet. Merging and acquisition theories of media world are still a
puzzle with this theory.
Jeff Boze the online Amazon retailers grabbed the celebrated
Washington Post through a dream bidding. Jeff declared and demonstrated
unmanned drones for newspaper distribution. His Amazon stuck the deal
with India Post for speedy and efficient delivery system of all value
added news goods. Newsweek and Forbes magazines are once again for sale.
Blumberg Business world surviving with push and pull. Wall Street
Journal lost its identity by the Murdochian renaissance. Neither a
broadsheet nor a tabloid any more but to a snippet format for
easy-go-readers. Rebekah Brooks, his trusted adopted daughter is facing
serious legal trial on intrusion into privacy and telephone hacking for
news sensationalism.
Media is the Middle East is celebrating their liberation due to the
much celebrated and squandered world cup football to happen in the green
oasis. They are going global by quality printing not by content. The
jasmine revolution from the Arab spring through social media is yet to
bloom in the social life. Guardian and Edward Snowden leakage is still
making the trouble in the British parliament. The most respected editor
of guardian Alan Rusbridger, was summoned to testify in front of the
British Parliament committee about his paper’s reporting on the leaks.
On a contrary to all the developments human resources in media
force have been faced with grave challenges and criticisms in the recent
days leading to anapprehension on ethics and morality in the media
field.To quote some -Tarun Tejpal to Rupert Murdoch is under the legal
tentacles and public hatred; the Maha Vishnu on Mount Road,The Hindu,is
back again in the hands of family kitchen business. Debt ridden Time
Inc. filed for a public issue, expecting angel investors to revive it.
Slate, Salon, Democracy Now, GigaMedia, News Laundry are still popular
with the news teasers. Times of India style of ‘presstitution’ for stake
hold on advertisers are still thriving like a monolith in the Indian
media scenario.

communication and journalism field, this issue of Media Watch focuses on
a wider area of communication not limiting to specific themes and
