Korean Literature Through the Korean Wave
by Jieun Kiaer Anna Yates-LuKorean Literature Through the Korean Wave engages with the rising interest in both the Korean Wave and Korean language learning by incorporating Korean Wave cultural content, especially K-dramas, films and songs, to underline and support the teaching of Korean literature. It combines both premodern and modern texts, including poetry, novels, philosophical treatises, and even comics, to showcase the diversity of Korean literature. Particular care has been taken to include the voices of those marginalised in the often male, elite-dominated discourse on Korean literature. In particular, this book also distinguishes itself by extending the usual breadth of what is considered modern Korean literature up until the present day, including texts published as recently as 2017. Many of these texts are very relevant for recent discourse in Korean affairs, such as the obsession with physical appearance, the #MeToo movement and multiculturalism. This textbook is aimed at B1-B2 level and Intermediate-Mid students of Korean. On the one hand the textbook introduces students to seeing beyond Korean literature as a monolithic entity, giving a taste of its wonderful richness and diversity. On the other hand, it provides an entry point into discussions on Korean contemporary society, in which the text (and associated media extracts) provides the catalyst for more in-depth analysis and debate.

It offers an understanding of the experience of independent journalists and media outlets in Russia, as well as other individuals who experience censorship (academics, activists), and examines how the current situation in Russia and people’s experiences of censorship can inform both our theoretical understandings of censorship and information control, in the context of the twenty‑first‑century digital technologies and the policymaking both inside and outside of Russia.Offering important insight into what is happening within Russia’s borders, this volume will appeal to researchers and students of journalism, political science, international relations, propaganda and censorship, mass media, as well as journalists and policymakers.Chapter 4 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
Krisensensitiver Journalismus zu Zeiten einer Pandemie: Theorie und Praxis verschiedener Berichterstattungsmodelle über Krisen
by Konstantin SchätzDer Journalismus hat in der Berichterstattung über die Covid-19-Krise versagt. Diese Meinung vertreten viele aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Gesellschaft. Ausgehend von der Medienkritik wird in diesem Buch die Qualität der Berichterstattung ausgewählter deutscher und österreichischer Medien in Krisenzeiten geprüft. Dazu bedarf es unterschiedlicher Modelle, Theorien und Ansätze, mithilfe derer sich Qualität von Journalismus bewerten lässt. Dabei sind nicht nur Erkenntnisse wichtig, die in der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Journalismus gesammelt wurden. Auch psychologische Modelle und Diskussionen aus der Praxis um Ethik und gesellschaftliche Rollen von Medien sind zentral. Die Annahme, dass unterschiedliche Phasen einer Krise berücksichtigt werden müssen, ist ein zentraler Bestandteil dieser Analyse. Auf Grundlage der erarbeiteten Erkenntnisse steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, wie Medien in Zeiten einer Krise berichten müssen, um ihrer sozialen Verantwortung nachzukommen und gesellschaftlicher Verunsicherung im besten Fall sogar entgegenwirken zu können. Ziel der Forschung ist die Erarbeitung eines Kriterienkatalogs, die Untersuchung der Berichterstattung in Zeiten der Pandemie und damit auch die Überprüfung der geäußerten Medienkritik.

LIFE Story: The Education of an American Journalist
by Gerald MooreBefore Americans got their news from television, they got it from LIFE, the weekly magazine that set the standard for photojournalism. In LIFE Story Gerald Moore—a writer and editor who worked at the magazine in the last glory years before TV made it obsolete—recalls the dizzying excitement and glamour of LIFE&’s fast-moving, powerful approach to spreading the news. Moore covered the major stories of the late 1960s and early 1970s: LSD, assassinations, the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, the McCarthy campaign, urban riots, the My Lai massacre, and the beginnings of feminism. Before joining LIFE at the age of twenty-seven, he worked as a police officer in Albuquerque and then a reporter at the Albuquerque Tribune—both jobs teaching him the tools of his trade. His story offers a wonderful look back at the good and the bad old days of journalism.

LTE Security
by Wolf-Dietrich Moeller Dan Forsberg Valtteri Niemi Günther HornA concise, updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsA welcome Revised Edition of the successful LTE Security addressing the security architecture for SAE/LTE, which is based on elements of the security architectures for GSM and 3G, but which needed a major redesign due to the significantly increased complexity, and different architectural and business requirements of fourth generation systems. The authors explain in detail the security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. The specifications generated by standardization bodies only inform about how to implement the system (and this only to the extent required for interoperability), but almost never inform readers about why things are done the way they are. Furthermore, specifications tend to be readable only for a small group of experts and lack the context of the broader picture. The book fills this gap by providing first hand information from insiders who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP, and can therefore explain the rationale for design decisions in this area.A concise, fully updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsDescribes the essential elements of LTE and SAE Security, written by leading experts who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPPExplains the rationale behind the standards specifications giving readers a broader understanding of the context to these specificationsIncludes new chapters covering 3GPP work on system enhancements for MTC, plus application layer security in ETSI TC M2M and embedded smart card in ETSI SCP; Security for Machine-type Communication, Relay Node Security, and Future Challenges, including Voice over LTE, MTC, Home base stations, LIPA/SIPTO, and New Cryptographic AlgorithmsEssential reading for System engineers, developers and people in technical sales working in the area of LTE and LTE security, communication engineers and software developers in mobile communication field.
