Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Mass media - Etymology and usage

Media (the plural of medium) is a truncation of the term media of communication, referring to those organized means of dissemination of fact, opinion, entertainment, and other information, such as newspapers, magazines, cinema films, radio, television, the World Wide Web, billboards, books, CDs, DVDs, videocassettes, computer games and other forms of publishing.

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Media bias - Other influences

The apparent bias of media is not always specifically political in nature. The news media tend to appeal to a specific audience, which means that stories that affect a large number of people on a global scale often receive less coverage in some markets than local stories, such as a public school shootings, a celebrity wedding, a plane crash, or similarly glamorous or shocking stories. For example, the deaths of millions of people in an ethnic conflict in Africa might be afforded scant mention in American media, while the shooting of five peo ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Media bias - Efforts to correct bias

One technique used to avoid bias is the "point/counterpoint" or "round table," an adversarial format in which representatives of opposing views comment on an issue. This approach theoretically allows diverse views to appear in the media. However, the person organizing the report still has the responsibility to choose people who really represent the breadth of opinion, to ask them non-prejudicial questions, and to edit or arbitrate their comments fairly. When done carelessly, a point/counterpoint can be as unfair as a simple biased report, by ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic politics of Khuzestan - Terrorist attacks in Khuzestan

In 2005, Ahvaz witnessed a number of terrorist attacks. The first came ahead of the presidential election on 12 June. Interior Ministry official Mohammad Hussein Motahar said at the time: Two bombs were hidden in toilets within the building of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and at the Office of Construction and Civil Engineering.

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic politics of Khuzestan - Demographics

The Khuzestani population is predominantly divided between Arabic and Persian speaking groups. How much of the population is ethnically Arab and Arabic-speaking no one knows for certain, and definitions and estimates are often disputed, as the Iranian central government does not release any ethnic-related census figures. According to the 2004 CIA World Factbook, Iranian Arabs comprise 3% of the overall population, while Arabic-speakers comprise 1%. The Minorities At Risk (MAR) project states that there are approximately 690,000 Bakhtiaris in Iran, mos ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic issues in Japan - Japanese government

With a public perception of a dramatic increase in violent crime by illegal immigrants, there has been a new wave of calls to use tougher measures against offenders, such as returning them to their nation of origin, where their crimes are punished more severely than by Japanese law, thus reducing incentive to export crime from their home countries. Some foreign-rights advocates argue that these efforts are merely turning eyes from deeper problems given that foreigners are estimated to be responsible for only 2% of crime. Moreover, such measu ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic issues in Japan - Japan's history of national isolation

From 1603-1867 Japan enjoyed its Edo Period during which its borders were closed to most of the outside world (officially closed in 1633 by Tokugawa Iemitsu) in a bid to prevent external influence, particularly religious, from gaining a foothold. Before closing, there had been many outposts scattered in Southeast Asia called 'Nihonjin-machi' (Japanese town). The only country Japan allowed trade with was the Netherlands, and, to a lesser extent, China. Japan did not voluntarily end the Sakoku (closure of the country). Japan was forced open by ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Vancouver - Ethnic groups

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic issues in Japan - Racism faced by non-Japanese Asians

Following the People's Democratic Republic of Korea's admission of the abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korean agents, there was a minor upsurge in crimes against North Korean property in Japan. Incidents included firing guns on empty buildings and planting of mock bombs. In 2003, a group of right-wingers were arrested for their suspected involvement in these crimes. However, this group was later discovered to have connections with a representative from the Democratic Party of Japan that preached a softer approach, and the gro ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic politics of Khuzestan - Historical background

Ethnic politics in Khuzestan revolves primarily around the issue of local control of resources. Unlike most other Iranian provinces, Khuzestan is ethnically diverse, home to a number of distinct peoples and tribal groups. Aside from the measures taken by the Pahlavi governments and the Islamic Republic of Iran, there is no historical precedent for conflict between the Iranian peoples amongst themselves, and the grievences held by minority groups have, in general, only been towards the central governments and their policies. As such, c ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Comparison of events in the Bible with ethnic cleansing

Some narratives in the in the Bible which describe the Hebrew conquest of Canaan in c. 13th century BC or before, would now be considered descriptions of ethnic cleansing or even genocide. In several places God commands the Hebrews to kill every man, woman and child after capturing a city, and sometimes cities also had to be burnt to the ground. In Exodus, the story of the Pharaoh's attempt to destroy the Israelites living in Egypt can also be seen as ethnic cleansing. Similarly Haman's attempt to wipe ou ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic politics of Khuzestan - April 2005 riots

In April 2005, riots broke out in several Khuzestani cities, following the circulation of a letter marked "top secret" from President Khatami's office and written in 1999, which was broadcast on Al-Jazeera and Al-Ahwaz television stations. The letter outlined a plan to encourage Persians to settle in Khuzestan, thereby changing the ethnic composition of the province. Central government officials say that the letter is a blatant forgery. Nevertheless, Arab ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Kolkata - Ethnic communities in Kolkata

Kolkata, though comparatively young compared to the Indian city states like Delhi and Hyderabad, has nevertheless been a melting pot for international and Indian communities, even more so than the upscale and cosmopolitan Bombay and Delhi. Expatriate communities include Chinese, Tamil, Marwari, Anglo-Indian, Jewish, Armenian, Tibetan, Greek and Parsi. Kolkata - Jewish. Kolkata's Jews are mostly Baghdadi Jews who came to Kolkata to trade. At one point as strong as 6000, the community has dwindled to about 6 ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic politics of Khuzestan - Political organisations

There are a number of Iranian Arab political parties operating in exile, but no known political party representing other ethnic groups in Khuzestan. The ideology of Arab parties varies, although most are secular in their political outlook. Ideology, tactics, tribal loyalties and personal ambition have prevented these parties from forming a united front. Some advocate armed resistance, while others believe in non-violent action. Most refer to Khuzestan as al-Ahwaz or Arabistan, although some define Arabistan as also inclu ...

Media and ethnicity: Encyclopedia II - Politics of Communist Czechoslovakia - Ethnic considerations

This was another essential ingredient in Czechoslovak political culture. The Slovaks, having their own state during World World II, were never as satisfied as the Czechs with the nation created in 1918 because they felt dominated by the numerically superior Czech nationals. The communist takeover in 1948 did not lead to equitable treatment of Czechs and Slovaks. The Stalinist purges of the early 1950s were particularly harsh on Slovaks; indeed, the definition of "bourgeois nationalism" coincided quite precisely with the aspirations of ...
