A framework for examining hybridity: The case of academic explanatory journalism
Across a number of disciplines, hybridity is regularly invoked when two previously distinct elements – whether objects, concepts, frameworks, practices, models, mediums or institutions – are brought together. However, this is often done with a vague theoretical nod. Labeled a hybrid and left at the level of broad theory, scholarship has tended to ignore a critical issue: what happens when the disparate elements of a hybrid are introduced in pract…

Picturing Haitian Earthquake Survivors: Graphic Reportage as an Ethical Strategy for Representing Vulnerable Sources
This paper contributes to the scholarship on contemporary journalism practices in today's fast-changing media landscape, by focusing on graphic reportage, an emergent journalistic approach that relies on the medium of drawn comics. There has been much recent scholarship on this drawn form of journalism in the field of English literature. Yet there has been surprisingly little published on graphic reportage in the field of journalism studies. In o…
Goal achievement and adaptive goal adjustment in a behavioral intervention for participants with prediabetes
Participants with prediabetes were supported to achieve and maintain weight loss with a stage-based behavior change group program named PREview behavior Modification Intervention Toolbox (PREMIT). The tendency to engage in a process of goal adjustment was examined in relation to PREMIT attendance. Analyses were based on 1857 participants who had achieved ⩾8percent weight loss. Tendency to engage in a process of goal adjustment appeared not to be …

Comparison of the effects of four commercially available weight-loss programmes on lipid-based cardiovascular risk factors
Objective To investigate the relative efficacy of four popular weight-loss programmes on plasma lipids and lipoproteins as measures of CVD risk. Design A multi-centred, randomised, controlled trial of four diets – Dr Atkins’ New Diet Revolution, The Slim-Fast Plan, Weight Watchers Pure Points programme and Rosemary Conley’s ‘Eat yourself Slim’ Diet and Fitness Plan – against a control diet, in parallel for 6 months. Setting and subjects The trial…
Parachute Journalism” in Haiti: Media Sourcing in the 2003-2004 Political Crisis
The Canadian media’s reliance on parachute and wire agency journalists during the lead-up to the 2004 coup d’état in Haiti exemplified the trends associated with recent cuts to foreign news. A content analysis of the Globe and Mail, plus interviews with journalists, reveal that the deadline pressures and hotel journalism associated with these trends contributed, in the absence of coherent official messages on the Haiti crisis, to journalists’ rel…

Teaching Journalists to Save the Profession: A critical assessment of recent debates on the future of US and Canadian journalism education
Concerns about the media industries prioritizing profits over public service has historically given rise to proposals for a more professional model of journalism education (Commission on Freedom of the Press, 1947 Commission On Freedom Of The Press. 1947. A Free and Responsible Press: a general report on mass communication: newspapers, radio, motion pictures, magazines, and books, Chicago: University of Chicago Press. [Google Scholar]; Pulitzer, …
Related Vocational Qualifications in Media Practice Education: An analysis of the rationale and the historical and political contexts
Post-war, post-school education has been split between higher (academic) and vocational/training, though the current trend is towards bridging the division through vocational qualifications. The media industry has concentrated on skills acquisition through selected providers and ignored more academic education, while funding and resource shortfalls have prevented media practice education contributing more vocationally. Related Vocational Qualific…
Group rights in South Africa: A Philosophical Exploration
A philosophical exploration of the concept of group rights is attempted. In the first instance a distinction between individual rights (rights against the interference of others accompanied by liberties on the part of rightholders) and group rights (based on positive support from the State and demanding duties from the rightholders) is developed. Subsequently the sort of groups that can lay claim to special rights are investigated, the conclusion…
