Journalism agenda: “State of the News Media 2015″… In Nepal, “the BBC is using messaging app Viber to share information and safety tips
In Uncategorized on April 30, 2015 at 15:35journalism.org – Amy Mitchell – Apr 28, 5:01 PM – Call it a mobile majority. At the start of 2015, 39 of the top 50 digital news websites have more traffic to their sites and associated applications coming from mobile devices than from desktop computers, according to Pew Research Center’s analysis…
nytimes.com – Rick Gladstone – Apr 27 – The ascendance of militant extremists and criminal gangs who abduct and kill reporters, combined with rising government repression in the cause of counterterrorism, has created the biggest threat to journalism in recent times, a press advocacy
In the aftermath of last week’s earthquake that devastated Nepal, BBC News is today launching an account on the messaging app Viber to publish news, information, and tips for staying safe as the country continues to recover.
As much as things change in the news business, things also seem to stay the same. Newspaper revenue drops; smartphone usage rises.
The annual State of the News Media report from the Pew Research Center, just out today, tells that story of continuing trend lines. The top line is probably the ongoing march of mobile: As of January, a remarkable 39 of the 50 most popular news sites had more mobile than desktop visitors. Four of the top 50 had similar desktop and mobile traffic, and just seven sites had more desktop than mobile traffic, the report said, citing comScore data.
Last week, BuzzFeed launched in its seventh international country: Mexico.
¡BuzzFeed México está vivo! http://t.co/G50ry81OZP Bienvenidos.
— BuzzFeed México (@BuzzFeedMexico) April 22, 2015
The viral juggernaut opened its first site outside the United States in 2013 in the United Kingdom, and has since grown to add editorial operations in France, Australia, Brazil, India, and Germany too. There’s also the New York-based BuzzFeed Español that targets a Latin American audience. The expansion to Mumbai, Berlin, and now Mexico City were announced last summer (along with a planned move to Tokyo) after BuzzFeed received another round of funding. (All four sites were originally supposed to open in 2014; now the Japan site is slated to debut later this year. BuzzFeed is also expanding to Canada this year, as it announced Friday that it had hired Craig Silverman to lead the site’s editorial efforts north of the border.)
PERUGIA, ITALY — Before a dramatic capsizing sent European leaders scrambling to address an epidemic of migrant drownings, a team of independent journalists was quietly tracking the problem — and offering an example of cross-border journalism that’s rare in Europe.
The journalists — a loose association of investigative reporters from across the continent — joined forces in 2013 to answer a seemingly simple question: How many people are dying trying to migrate to Europe?
Here’s a wakeup call to audio creators everywhere: SoundCloud does not recognize your fair use rights under U.S. copyright law. If your content contains any copyrighted material to which you haven’t secured the rights — even if you have a valid fair use claim — SoundCloud may take it down at any time.
That’s exactly what happened to a former student of mine, and his experience should serve as a warning to the growing number of news organizations (including several that I work with) that use SoundCloud to host podcasts and other audio content.

Bulgaria, a member of the European Union, has a big problem with freedom of the media.

Against this unpleasant background, a new media project was established with the ambitious task of opposing the media empires of local oligarchs and providing an alternative way to access inf

Cengiz Aktar: Mi mornarzis
In Uncategorized on April 30, 2015 at 14:31Mi mornarzis
Unutmabeni çiçeğinin Ermenicesi, tercümesi unutmabeni… Pekçok dilde aynı… Bir bakıma, insanın hafızasız yaşayamayacağını hatırlatan çiçek… Soykırımın yüzüncü yılı etkinliklerinin evrensel simgesi. Hafıza ve adalet üç gün süren ve sade Ermeni değil bütün soykırımları hatırlayan Erivan’daki uluslararası anma ve toplantının ana temasıydı.
Cuma anıtın bulunduğu Kırlangıç Tepesinde sağlı sollu Anadolu yerleşimlerinin adlarını bir kez daha görünce soykırımın Ermenilerin olduğu kadar bizim hepimizin hikâyesi olduğunu düşündüm. Onların değil, bizlerin hepimizin. Ermenilerin kadar Çerkesin, Kürdün, Türkün yüzyıllık acısı ve yası bu. Asırlar boyunca hemhâl olmuş, ebrulîleşmiş topluluklardan önce birinin, ardından diğerlerinin o vahdetten şiddetle kopartılmasının yası bu. Yüz yıllık bereketsizliğin, ahlâksızlığın, adaletsizliğin kaynağı…
Unutturulmuş, unutulmak istenmiş, hatırlanmasın diye ne yalanlarla bezenmiş berbat bir hikâye bu. Cedlerimizin, siyaset erbabından ticaret erbabına, köylüsünden şehirlisine işine geldiği ölçüde gizlenmiş ve muazzam çabalara rağmen artık her yerde faş olmuş bir hikâye bu. Ermenilerin adalet arayışı bugünkü ifşanın, ilâmın, itirafın anadamarı, bundan kuşku yok.
Nitekim anmaların diğer güçlü simgesi dayanıklılık: “Soyumuz kırıldı ama buradayız, sağlamız ve adaleti hâlâ talep ediyoruz!”
Erivan’da ister oradan ister Diasporadan Türkiye’yi hedef alan hiçbir mesaj yoktu. Sadece kafalarda ve demeçlerde “neden Ankara hâlâ soykırımı tanımıyor” sorusu vardı. O kadar. Bunun aksine resmî Türkiye, soğukkanlılığını külliyen kaybetmiş bir halde görülmemiş bir beceriksizlikler serisiyle kayıtlara geçti. Kime ne ayar çekeceğine, kime hangi dersi vereceğine, kime ne lâf yetiştireceğine şaşırdı. Verdiği tepkilerde iftira, yalan diye başlayıp, lâfı döndürüp dolaştırıp suçunu kabul edercesine “ama siz de şunlara bunları yaptınız” demekten öteye gidemedi. Çünkü gidecek bir ötesi yok! Davutoğlu’nun şifahen “tehcir insanlık suçudur” çıkışı ki gayet önemli, anaakım inkârcı yaygaradan duyulmadı bile.
Hükümet Vatikan ve Viyana sefirlerini çekti. Belgrad, Berlin, Moskova, Sofya, Vaşington sefirlerini neden çekmedi belli değil. Bu bağlamda Ankara, diplomasinin sıfır noktasındadır. Birbirleriyle savaşan ülkeler dahi sefirlerini çekmemeye çalışır, asgarî irtibatı muhafaza eder. İçeride artık her politikaya damgasını vuran “benim gibi düşünmeyen düşmanımdır” politikası aynen dışarıya yansıtılıyor.
Ankara Obama’nın soykırım dememesine ve adını vermeden Ermeni Soykırımının bütün öğelerini sayarak tasvir eden ABD ve diğer ülkelere sevinsin mi kızsın mı bilemedi. 24 Nisan’ı nasıl gölgelerim diye debelenirken, 25 Nisan Anzac Günü’nü bir yıllığına 24’üne kaydırarak gülünç olmanın yanında 23 Nisan’ın 95’inci yıldönümünü tamamen atladı. Zaten başkanlık sisteminde meclisin artık ne önemi vardı ki? Çanakkale müsameresi 18 Mart Çanakkale Zaferi’ne dahi gölge düşürdü. Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda’da bu sayede soykırımı duymayan varsa duymuş oldu. Sonuçta kendi çalıp kendi oynayan bir ülke varsa o da zavallı resmî Türkiye idi.
Bugün resmî Türkiye (buna Kemalist inkârcı cephe de dâhil) keskin sirke misâli küpüne zarar veriyor. Yasını tutan, atalarını yâd eden Ermenilere duyduğu tahammülsüzlük, soykırımı ağzına alan herkese yağdırdığı hakaret ülkeyi uluslararası camiada “ahlakî parya” mertebesine taşıyor. Huntingtonvarî bir iştahla dinler savaşının bayraktarlığına soyunan bir AKP Türkiyesi imajı giderek yerleşiyor. Hayra alâmet değil bütün bunlar.
Hrant’ı andım Tepedeki kırlangıçlarla. İsterdi illâki burada olmak… Çabası katliyle sonuçlandı evet, ama açtığı hafıza kaynağı çağlayan oldu, çağlayanın bulduğu çatlak da devasa bir gedik. Daha da üstü örtülmez. Unutmadık, ne seni ne diğerlerini.
Bu yazı ilk olarak Taraf’ta yayınlandı. Yazarın isteğiyle burada da yayınlanıyor.

2 fantastic digital archives: Istanbul Households archives, 1880-1940: census data and family history documents now accessible online
In Uncategorized on April 29, 2015 at 13:34Children from a well-to-do family, 1910
Istanbul Households archives, 1880-1940: census data and family history documents now accessible online
Two separate archives, Mosaic (www.censusmosaic.org), holding quantitative data, and SALT research (www.saltresearch.org), holding census and family history documents from an interdisciplinary research project undertaken at Boğaziçi University (Istanbul) during the 1980s on family, household and population in Istanbul during the late Ottoman and early republican periods are now open to public use online. The project was the first systematic historical study of family and population in Turkey and the Middle East, combining the methods and approaches of social anthropology, historical demography and social history. The research culminated in the publication of Duben and Behar, Istanbul Households: Marriage, Family and Fertility 1880-1950, Cambridge University Press, 1991 and its Turkish editions, İstanbul Haneleri: Evlilik, Aile eve Doğurganlık 1880-1940, İletişim Yayınları, 1996 and Boğaziçi Ünivesitesi Yayınları, 2013, as well as various scholarly papers on the subject.
- Mosaic census records: Ottoman census data for Istanbul, 1885 (1300h) and 1907 (1322h)
The original five percent samples of Ottoman census data for the permanent Muslim population of Istanbul for 1300h (ca. 1885) and 1322h (ca. 1907) are available from the Mosaic archive of historical census data for Europe and beyond. All records in the archive are structured in the same format so that historical comparisons can be made across time and space. More specifically, these data bases allow those researching late Ottoman society to undertake comparisons with non-Ottoman data bases and vice versa.
For more information about Mosaic see: Mikołaj Szołtysek and Siegfried Gruber, “Mosaic: recovering surviving census records and reconstructing the familial history of Europe” The History of the Family, available online at http://ift.tt/1ECqGMn
The address for access is www.censusmosaic.org . To access the Istanbul data sets one must register, then click “Data,” followed by “Mosaic Data Files,” and then under “Harmonized Data Sets,” scroll down to Turkey where the 1885 (1300h) and 1907 (1322h) census data sets can be found. Information about use and various caveats is provided.
- Istanbul Households archive at SALT, Istanbul
The SALT archives located at SALT Galata, Istanbul contain a broad array of materials utilized during the research and writing of Istanbul Households, all accessible online. The complete set of original handwritten transcription sheets used during the early 1980s for recording census data and vital events on site from the official rosters for the permanent Muslim population of Istanbul for 1300h (ca. 1885) and 1322h (ca. 1907)for five central districts of Istanbul are available here. In addition to the transcription sheets various documents containing descriptions of principles, rules, definitions and other guidelines for transcription and data use as well as instructions for recording, transcribing and coding for the censuses and records of vital events are also available. Lists of birthplaces, occupations, titles and status-markers of individuals recorded are also available, as are numerous family photographs of the period from 1880-1940. Transcriptions of selected Ottoman court records relating to marriage, divorce, and inheritance utilized during the research period are also available. These resources provide a part of the “back story” of this research project that took nearly ten years to complete. Summaries of hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles from the period on population, family, marriage, women, childcare, domestic life and related topics will be available shortly, as will sociological and demographic analyses of major novels of the period. Information about the Istanbul Households collection, its coverage, use, meaning, and limitations is available from the archive. General information about SALT and the archives can be obtained at www.saltresearch.org.
Access to the SALT Istanbul Households archive is available directly by clicking: http://ift.tt/1P5V43q
We request that researchers properly acknowledge and cite any materials used from either archive.
