Finland, poster child of migrant relocation

The Nordic country has taken in lone minors, teenage mothers and underage wives as part of its pledge to the EU relocation scheme.

Digitizing the EU’s Public Diplomacy in Israel

Introduction

The relationship between Israel and the European Union has been strained for some time. Indeed it is enough to review op-eds published in Israeli newspapers to sense the resentment Israelis hold towards Brussels. This is, in part, a result of three EU policies. The first is the EU’s ongoing critique against Israeli settlements and a proposed EU ban on importing any goods manufactured in Israeli settlements. This ban includes the labelling of Israeli products from settlements. The second policy is the EU’s funding of left-wing civil society organization who, under the current zeitgeist of nationalism, are seen as traitors to the cause of Israeli security. The third policy is the EU’s call for immediate negotiations with the Palestinians towards a two-state solution.

Britain’s opposition Labour Party will not walk away from Brexit talks without a deal if it wins next month’s election, according to a leaked draft manifesto published by several newspapers.
Europe’s police agency says a “complex international investigation” is needed to catch the culprits.

Eurosphere agenda: “Europe’s Destructive Spirals of Distrust by Thomas Hylland Eriksen

EFD Haftanın Web Projesi: TÜRKİYE’ye HOŞ GELDİN!

TÜRKİYE’ye HOŞ GELDİN!

GÖSTERİM ve FORUM

 

Türkiye’de şu anda üç milyona yakın Suriyeli yaşıyor ve önümüzdeki yıllarda bu sayının artması kuvvetle muhtemel. Bu, ülke nüfusunda oldukça önemli bir demografik değişime işaret ediyor. Ancak Türkiye toplumu olarak Suriyeli komşularımızı tanımıyor, onlarla gerçek bir temas kurmuyor ve daha vahimi kurmak istemiyoruz. Oysa biz, değişen sayılarda da olsa, her kentte, handiyse her mahallede kapı komşumuz olan/olacak “gerçek” kişilerden bahsettiğimizin her an ayırdında olmamız gerektiğine inanıyoruz. Bunun yanında, Türkiye’deki Suriyelilerin, özellikle ana akım medyada, yalnızca birer sayı olarak, yoğunlukla kriminalize edilerek temsil edildiklerini ve bunun akabinde, Suriyelilere karşı geliştirilen yabancı düşmanlığının toplumun geniş bir kesiminde yer bulduğunu üzülerek görmekteyiz.

 

Tüm bunlardan yola çıkarak, ülkedeki “sıradan” insanların zihninde gerçekleştirilecek, yeni komşularımızın “sıradan” insanlar olduklarına ilişkin bir paradigma değişikliğinin bile, yabancı düşmanlığına karşı verilecek mücadeleye bir katkı sağlayacağını düşünmekteyiz. Bu insanlar, heybelerinde birçok kültürel ve toplumsal değer taşıyarak yola çıkıyorlar; Türkiyelilerin bu pozitif değerlere aşina olmalarının bu mücadelede bir adım olacağını inanıyoruz.

 

Utopictures Kolektifi‘nin bu saiklerden yola çıkarak gerçekleştirmekte olduğu Türkiye’ye Hoş Geldin video portre serisinden bir dizi portre izleyerek; portrelerdeki öznelerin ve kolektif üyelerinin katılımıyla 23 Mayıs 2016 tarihinde açık bir oturum gerçekleştirip sohbet etmek, tanışmak istiyoruz.

 

MANİFESTO

welcometoturkey.info

 

“Türkiye’yeHoşgeldin” Türkiye’deki Suriyelilerin hikâyelerini kendi dillerinden dinlemeye niyetli, kolektif bir çabadır. Mültecilerin baskın temsil biçimlerinden duyulan kişisel rahatsızlığın bir çıktısıdır; yükselen yabancı düşmanlığına karşı verilen mücadeleye küçük de olsa bir katkıda bulunma isteğidir. Türkiye’de yaşayan Suriyelileri “temsil etme” gibi bir iddiası asla yoktur ama onlar hakkındaki olumsuz kalıpyargıları söküp atmaya çabalar.

Bir sona erme tarihi yoktur; gidebildiğimiz yere kadar yol alacaktır. Esasen, dayanışma içinde sürekli bir temas inşa etme aracıdır; sohbete “bahane”dir.

“Türkiye’yeHoşgeldin” yeni komşularımızla, naif, kişisel ve kolektif bir temas etme arzusudur; burada, Türkiye’de yaşamaya karar vermiş insanlara söylemek istediğimiz sözün izdüşümüdür. Onlar istedikleri sürece beraber yaşamak üzere…

Journalism agenda: “a comprehensive guide to Snapchat for journalists…

http://ift.tt/1WF5fUB

Are your Snapchat stories the best they can be?
The publisher is using virtual reality to bring back to life the historical collection of the Mosul Museum, destroyed by the so-called Islamic State

Medium announced a new set of tools for publishers on Tuesday. The features, which will roll out on Thursday, have attracted a number of mostly smaller existing publishers — including The Awl and The Hairpin, Pacific Standard, andMonday Note — who will migrate their content to the platform.

“Social media hasn’t just swallowed journalism, it has swallowed everything,” Emily Bell declared in a lecture at the University of Cambridge a few weeks ago. She was talking about giant platforms and in large part about Facebook, which has rolled out (and continues to roll out) features that have news organizations scrambling to take advantage. First, it was Instant Articles — available soon to everyone on April 12. Now, it’s Facebook Live.

Editor’s note: There are lots of new stories to read in the newest issue of our sister publication Nieman Reports. In this piece, Michael Fitzgerald writes about how newsrooms can (and should) design their websites with accessibility in mind.

Elizabeth Campbell doesn’t see the web; she hears it.

 

The Online News Association recently launched the Social Newsgathering Ethicscode. That code*, created over the period of more than three years, brings publishers, broadcasters and journalistic institutions together under a common set of standards for operating in this arena.

First Draft News frequently mentions the importance of setting up proper searches for newsgathering, and more precisely how TweetDeck can be a very powerful tool to monitor news on Twitter. In this piece, I will focus on a crucial aspect of successful search on Twitter: search operators. This term refers to characters, or strings of characters, that tell the engine to search in a specific way.

 

Check out this guide for using Twitter’s search operators to source and monitor newsworthy tweets
