Entre Parceros y Panas: Estudio de Audiencia

Sandra Patricia Diaz Pachajoa

Bogotá: Grupo Comunicarte (2021), 82 pp.

"Se encuestaron a 205 personas, equilibradas entre 50% venezolanas y 48% colombianas, y un 3% colombo-venezolanas. Ubicadas en 25 poblaciones de frontera y ciudades de acogida, quienes dijeron escuchar la radiorevista en un 99%. La transmisién de la radiorevista constituye un aporte al periodismo g ... lobal de información sobre inmigración, transmitido en sitios web en simulcast o webcast, emisoras comunitarias y educativas en FM y AM. La frecuencia de escucha es semanal, en un 72%, en horarios matutinos 62%. En un primer estudio realizado durante el 2019, para identificar el tipo de necesidades de información de la población migrante, el Grupo COMUNICARTE ubica tres prioridades: orientación de ayudas y apoyo; garantías en derechos sobre la migración en Colombia y alternativas laborales. En la presente encuesta encontramos que la audiencia reconoce que el programa resuelve dudas sobre la migración en un 90%, es decir, hay satisfacción a estas primeras necesidades informativas. Durante la trasmisión del año 2020, se identifica que entre los temas más útiles, están en orden de prioridad: derecho a la salud y educación 71%, sobrellevar positivamente la migración 64%, derechos laborales y servicios a la población migrante 62%, derecho a la movilidad humana 61%, la frontera lugar de oportunidades 60%, en un mismo orden riesgos de la movilidad humana y derecho a la nacionalidad 55% y por último: sugerencias sobre tramites migratorios 53%. Vemos que las prioridades han cambiado en torno a los derechos y la situación laboral. Entre los temas que le gustaria incluir a la población que escucha la Radiorevista, tenemos dos modalidades: en un 12% proponen temas nuevos como asesorías psicológicas en radio, sobre todo para miembros de familias que se quedan en su lugar de origen; también quieren saber sobre los avances en las políticas migratorias, y de temas como migración y religión. Y un 88%, tienen interés prioritario en oportunidades laborales; la Interculturalidad y cultura y noticias de movilidad y actualidad en la frontera. Estos dos últimos incluyen al deporte, y la gastronomía como aspectos culturales que unen a colombianos y venezolanos, hay un interés marcado por la convivencia en la frontera y la protección de los más vulnerables. El indagar sobre los temas preferidos por la audiencia ha sido muy importante en el proceso de emisión de la radiorevista, lo primero que encontramos es un panorama solidario, diferente al lenguaje de discriminación e indiferencia que en su mayoria muestran los medios masivos de información y comunicación."

Media and Information Literacy Index. Country Report Uganda

Dennis Reineck, Luise Krumm

Bonn: Deutsche Welle DW Akademie (2020), 25 pp.

"Young Ugandans are reluctant to voice their concerns and take part in public discussions according to indicative findings from the MIL INDEX country study presented here. The eight focus groups conducted for the study in Kampala and Bugembe early in 2019 revealed that youths are using both traditio ... nal and social media extensively, but discussions of political and public issues take place mainly in closed circles on platforms like WhatsApp. “It is a suffocated environment,” says media expert Gerald Businge. This MIL INDEX study is aimed at obtaining a concise picture of media- and information-related skills amongst youths under the age of 35 in Uganda. It addresses five dimensions of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) based on DW Akademie’s MIL model: access, analysis, reflection, creation, and action. The focus group participants see themselves living in the “the dot-com era” though access to the Internet and even television is far from universal in Uganda. The smartphone is the most popular device and it serves as a benchmark when judging more traditional media (radio, television, and newspapers). Social media are used alongside traditional media, but there is a feeling that traditional media, especially radio, are losing touch with the Ugandan youth of today. There is a general neglect of printed media, based on an aversion to long reads and often also difficulties in understanding them. Some participants feel they are addicted to social media and online messengers. When it comes to analytical skills, the Ugandan youths in the focus groups are not very critical of the media environment they live in despite the overwhelming evidence that state control, intimidation, and media concentration are problems in Uganda. But they do pick up on news bias and sensationalism. They are also aware of the fact that online sources and social media information should not be trusted blindly. Participants can differentiate between quality and tabloid-type media, but an alarming proportion does not know their constitutional right to freedom of expression. The level of reflection on the part of focus group participants is medium to low. They can render many cases of cyberbullying/hate speech, disinformation and cybercrime, though they are not always aware of the difference. Especially the examples of cyber-harassment that are recounted in the focus groups reveal that female youths are primarily targeted. At the same time there seems to be little in the way of counselling for victims and there was not enough reflection of the background to such malevolent forms of communication. Strategies in coping with them are not very elaborate, though some groups did mention methods of verification in the context of disinformation several times. There is considerable potential for support when it comes to dealing with cyberbullying, cyber-harassment, hate speech and cybercrime." (Executive summary) more

Port-Au-Prince Information Ecosystem Assessment

Internews; Panos Caribbean (2020), 70 pp.

"Key finding 1: A trusted thirdperson is the most important information provider. When asked for their main source of information, family, friends, and religious leaders accounted for 89% of the response choices combined. Additionally, 97% stated they trust their family and friends. Key finding 2: S ... ocial media, the new player in the game? Even though radio remains the main channel of information used by the population (76%) – followed by television (48%) – WhatsApp (29%) and Facebook (28%) combined total 57% of respondents’ choice. Moreover, among participants who have Internet access, the leading applications to receive news areWhatsApp (82%) and Facebook (70%). Key finding 3: News on current events and sports are the most preferred content in traditional media channels. Participants mostly responded they like to see “news on current events” and “sports news” in traditional media channels. Radio listeners mostly enjoy “news on current events” (61%), newspapers readers like to read about “news on current events” (65%) and “sports” (33%), and television consumers mostly favor “news on current events” (49%) and “sports” (37%). Sports are ahead of educational and/or health programs in all types of media. Key finding 4: Residents in Port-au-Prince have unmet information needs. When asked about the information they need the most – at the time –, 52% of participants selected “how to find a job”, followed closely by “general news about what is happening in the country including COVID-19” (51%). Respondents also mentioned the need for information on “access to food and drinking water” (48%), as well as information about the “security situation in Port-au-Prince” (47%). Key finding 5: Information consumers are not passive actors: trust and relevance are key points. Content and source are the two main factors affecting the information ecosystem in Port-auPrince. Even among their preferred source of information – family and friends – or their preferred channel – radio –, trust is not blindly granted. In the focus groups, participants point out the lack of training of journalists, the fact that many confuse facts with opinions or place greater value in sensationalism, often leading to unsubstantiated claims and misinformation [...]" (Pages 5-14) more
