The year 1873 was one of financial crises. A boom in railway construction had spurred a bull market—but when the boom turned to bust, transatlantic panic quickly became a worldwide economic downturn. ...In Transatlantic Speculations, Hannah Catherine Davies offers a new lens on the panics of 1873 and nineteenth-century globalization by exploring the ways in which contemporaries experienced a tumultuous period that profoundly challenged notions of economic and moral order. Considering the crises of 1873 from the vantage points of Berlin, New York, and Vienna, Davies maps what she calls the dual "transatlantic speculations" of the 1870s: the financial speculation that led to these panics as well as the interpretative speculations that sprouted in their wake. Drawing on a wide variety of sources—including investment manuals, credit reports, business correspondence, newspapers, and legal treatises—she analyzes how investors were prompted to put their money into faraway enterprises, how journalists and bankers created and spread financial information and disinformation, how her subjects made and experienced financial flows, and how responses ranged from policy reform to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories when these flows suddenly were interrupted. Davies goes beyond national frames of analysis to explore international economic entanglement, using the panics' interconnectedness to shed light on contemporary notions of the world economy. Blending cultural, intellectual, and legal history, Transatlantic Speculations gives vital transnational and comparative perspective on a crucial moment for financial markets, globalization, and capitalism.

In the world of journalism and new age media, the essence of convergence is on and in constant use. As technology continues to make inroads into the field of journalism, it becomes rather ...quintessential to understand the impact of such technology on this profession. In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the emergence of process of convergence through various connecting technology driven processes, delineated in the form of a model. The model is based on premise that in today’s world of journalism, the process of ‘convergence and its effect’ is absolutely inevitable. This irrevocability of convergence in the profession of journalism or media needs to be understood taking into consideration the influence of the term ‘Digital-Clout’ – which basically involves media convergence, online medium impact, organizational set up and professional/job transformation. While Internet being central force in this clout; assumes vital role in this model. The paper proposes and elaborates this concept in the shape of model- Digital Clout - Convergence-Effect Model.
El periodismo computacional ha irrumpido con fuerza en el intenso panorama de las innovaciones periodísticas, debido a su gran potencial de impacto en las redacciones. Dada la reciente implantación ...de esta especialidad, todavía en fase experimental en las redacciones que lo han incorporado, en este trabajo presentamos un resultado de tipo exploratorio sobre el periodismo computacional, a la vez que lo relacionamos con variaciones bien implantadas del periodismo, como el periodismo de datos. El trabajo se ha realizado a partir de la revisión bibliográfica y de los principales informes sobre esta materia, así como a partir de una serie de estudios de caso. Los resultados pueden ayudar tanto a enfocar nuevas investigaciones en este campo, como a completar el panorama de la innovación para profesionales e investigadores del sector que necesiten disponer de una visión global del impacto que puede alcanzar el periodismo computacional.
‘The Caragiale-World’: the all Times Media Between ‘Karkaleki’ and ‘Gogumano’ The study argues that the classic of the Romanian comedy, I. L. Caragiale (1852 - 1912), early anticipated right in the ...middle of the ‘La belle époque’ the impact of the future new e-media revolution. Especially in his journalistic articles, we can discover an inside criticism of corrupted media communication, as well as the principles of nowadays manipulations and fake news. The visionary work of Caragiale proves that the technological revolution is not necessary followed by spiritual development. The study and his title are focused on two Caragiale’s humoristic characters: the typical pseudo journalist Karkaleki (for the home news) and his colleague Gogumano (for international news). But those names also signify in a popular language: ‘rubbish mix’ and ‘stupidity’...

This book demonstrates the central role played by the stylistic features of online news in constructing meaning and shaping cultural representations of people and places – in particular, France and Muslims/Islam. Taking the 2016 violent attack in Nice, France as a case study, Ashley Riggs analyses online news coverage of the attack from the UK, Spain, and Switzerland, three distinct linguistic and cultural spaces. An innovative mixed-methods approach, including content analysis and elements of translation criticism and comparative stylistics, is used to analyse this corpus, revealing the frequency and influence of stylistic devices found in online news and exploring how they help to shape reader interpretations. Drawing conclusions about journalistic practices by place and interrogating the notions of 'European identity' and 'European journalism', Stylistic Deceptions in Online News reveals how stylistic features may vary according to both political leanings and national and regional contexts, and the influence these features have upon readers.
This paper explores data journalism education, with a particular focus on formal training in the higher education sector globally. The study draws on data from: (1) the 2017 Global Data Journalism ...Survey, to study the state of data journalism education and the requirements in terms of training and (2) a dataset of 219 unique modules or programmes on data journalism or related fields that were curated and examined in order to understand the nature of data journalism education in universities across the world. The results show that while journalists interested in data are highly educated in journalism or closely related fields, they do not have a strong level of education in the more technical areas of data journalism, such as data analysis, coding and data visualisation. The study further reveals that a high proportion of data journalism courses are concentrated in the United States, with a growing number of courses developing across the world, and particularly in Europe. Despite this, education in the field does not have a strong academic underpinning, and while many courses are emerging in this area, there are not enough academically trained instructors to lead and/or teach such interdisciplinary programmes in the higher education sector.
