Social media over the years has been shown to be an important source for information in times of crisis and confusion. Citizens who were restricted to their homes due to pandemic-mitigating lockdowns have desired more than ever to be informed about the pandemic, have been exposed to a host of misinformation, which has also affected their trust in the media, as well as the way they have been informed about COVID-19 in the days following. This research aims to analyze how citizens have used the media during COVID-19 and whether they were capable to accurately distinguish misinformation or disinformation from accurate information. To respond to the research question and to test hypotheses a survey based on purposive sampling method was used with citizens that included 850 respondents from the seven main regions of Kosovo. Results of this study indicate that the information-seeking habits have changed within a short period of time and Kosovo society can easily be affected by disinformation. The data demonstrated that citizens failed to distinguish between false and true news. The results also highlight that education and economic situation were significant indicators, with less educated people, and people with the weakest economic well-being are more likely to believe false information.

Cultural periodicals, as a specific part of the field of culture and publishing, can be studied in several directions: 1) by analysing the conceptual aspect of cultural periodicals, i.e., realisation of their cultural functions; 2) by taking into account the general models of publishing periodicals; 3) by analysing other aspects of publishing that are specific to cultural periodicals only, for example, the specific features of funding. This article analyses how the cultural functions of national periodicals were realised in the context of the virtualisation of cultural periodicals in the period under research (in 2000-2015). (In this article, the virtualisation of cultural publications is understood as the transfer of cultural periodicals (magazines, newspapers) into the virtual space or their creation in that space (blogs, portals, social networks)). Cultural periodicals as a part of the cultural field were relevant in the period under research: 1. It is relevant to transmit and preserve cultural information (in this case, the communicative link between the cultural message and the cultural space and the lasting value of cultural texts); 2. To form new addressees to receive the cultural message (each publication brings together its own audience and thus complements the overall cultural field, thus attracting new readers by disseminating cultural information); 3. To actualise the message being sent through more diverse channels (the importance of internationality), to expand the possibilities of accessibility and availability of cultural texts; changes in the media (social networks, portals, websites) have created a broader, more modern and more diverse cultural field of communication. Between the years 2000 and 2015, media change gradually turned into a necessity. First of all, it was undertaken as a way to reach more readers. Due to the specific content, cultural publications were moderate in their approach to the changes in form during the period under analysis: to maintain a high-quality printed version was a priority to them. On the other hand, cultural publications, although not always willingly, began to recognize the importance of the Internet and to consider it as a platform for disseminating cultural information. This aspect became an important turning point in the publishing of cultural periodicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba] Teoretikų teigimu, šiuolaikinė visuomenė gyvena įžymybių kultūroje, kuri glaudžiai susijusi su medijų kultūra. Straipsnyje diskutuojama, kaip kinta auditorijos studijų dienotvarkė, kada įsigali įžymybių kultūra, o didžioji medijų turinio dalis yra susijusi su įžymybėmis. Socialinių tinklų įsigalėjimo eroje įžymybės taiko įvairius sekėjų pritraukimo ir angažavimo metodus, o įžymybės sekėjų skaičius bei pasiekiama auditorija gali būti didesnė nei žiniasklaidos priemonės. Tačiau šiuolaikiniai įžymybių sekėjai, sekdami ne vieną įžymybę, gali ir nebūti jos fanais. Įžymybės ir jos sekėjų sąveika dažnai yra sudėtingesnė nei tiesiog įžymybės ir jos fanų bendravimas. Šiuolaikinė daugialypė medijų terpė performuoja auditorijos aktyvumą, kuris medijų kraštovaizdžio kaitos periodu taip pat įgyja naujų ir reikšmingų formų. Straipsnyje teoriniu ir praktiniu aspektais analizuojama įžymybių raiškos ir jų sekėjų auditorijos aktyvumo sąsajos, siekiant nustatyti auditorijos įsitraukimą į komunikaciją didinančius veiksnius.

The essay explicates the polycentric awareness as a ground of creative communication with anyone, anytime, to the extent that all communication is a sense making process about something. This makes accessible “Others” from other times, present in texts which open communication through linguistic and cultural media. We read Plato and argue with him about justice, or debate the issue of beginning of the universe with astronomers. These two levels, polycentric and dialogical, is supplemented by a concrete analyses of body as an active and interactive dimension with many contemporary technical media, from film, television, Internet, and smart phones.

Šiuolaikinė švietimo paradigma diktuoja perėjimą prie tokio mokymo (-si), kuris neatsiejamas nuo bendradarbiavimo tarp šeimos ir mokyklos, patirtinio mokymos (-si) bei aktyvaus socialinių partnerių įsitraukimo. Tokio mokymo (-si) rezultatas yra asmuo (agent), gebantis ir norintis įsitraukti į socialinį procesą, mokantis rasti galimybę ne tik kelti, bet irįgyvendinti savo tikslus, juos lanksčiai derindamas prie situacijos ar turimų išteklių. Toks asmuo gali būti apibrėžtas kaip įgalintasis asmuo. Akivaizdi šiandienos edukacinė tendencija – asmenų, dalyvaujančių švietimo sistemoje, stiprinimas pasitelkus socialinį įgalinimą. Šiuolaikiniuose socialiniuose moksluose socialinio įgalinimo koncepcija yra reikšminga. Manoma, kad tai yra vienas iš svarbiausių gyvenimo kokybės rodiklių. Įgalinimas yra procesas, kuris dėl savo tarpdiscipliniškumo bei daugiamatiškumo yra apibrėžiamas įvairiai ir nėra sutarta dėl vienos definicijos (Page, Czuba, 1999). Esamų apibrėžimų analizė atskleidžia, kad socialiniame diskurse įgalinimas pirmiausiai interpretuojamas veiklos kontekste. Asmens gebėjimas veikti nepriklausomai ir priimti sprendimus yra pagrindinis socialinio įgalinimo rodiklis. Asmuo veikia nepriklausomai, taip sustiprindamas įtaką tiek savo, tiek visuomenės gyvenime. (Erb, Kaindl, 2007; Hurrelmann, 1986). Pedagogikos mokslas įsitraukė į socialinio įgalinimo tyrimus. Konstruojamos mokslinės interpretacijos siūlančios keisti esamą pedagoginę mintį. Judama nuo tradicinio pedagoginio diskurso link bendradarbiaujančio modelio, akcentuojančio besimokantįjį kaip individą su unikalia pasaulėžiūra. Postmodernus laikmetis švietimui ir ugdymui kelia abipusės pagarbos, o ne paklusnumo diegimo tikslą. Sparti technologijų pažanga keičia švietimo koncepcijos interpretaciją ir švietėjo bei besimokančiojo vaidmenis. Svarbi tampa kiekvieno asmens savarankiško mokymosi visą gyvenimą atsakomybė bei pagarba visų švietimo dalyvių kompetencijoms. Straipsnyje tiriama medijų ir informacinio raštingumo svarba įgalinimo procese. Apibūdinami medijų ir informacinio raštingumo komponentai bei veikimo mechanizmai. Ieškomi atsakymų į klausimus: • Koks yra pagrindinis medijų ir informacinio raštingumo ugdant tikslas? • Koks yra medijų ir informacinio raštingumo turinys? • Kaip integruoti medijų ir informacinį raštingumą į mokymo(si) procesą?

XX amžiuje atsiradusi televizija įkūnijo žmonijos tolimo matymo svajonę, ekrane susiejo ikitelevizines vizualiąsias ir audiovizualiąsias medijas, iki tol eksponuotas muziejuose, koncertų, teatro, kino salėse. Viena vertus, televizija buvo laikoma ankstesnių medijų pratęsimu (teatras arba kinematografas namuose), jų retransliavimo priemone (muzikos, vaidybinių žanrų, fotografijos). Komunikacinės televizijos ypatybės, unikalus serijiškumas formavo naujas raiškos formas, naujus žanrus ir formatus. Pirmasis Lietuvos televizijos dešimtmetis (1957–1967) atskleidžia prieštaringus mėginimus ieškoti naujosios medijos išskirtinumo.

Įsitvirtinusi suasmeninta medijų naudojimo veikla, atrodo, negrįžtamai pakeitė medijų naudojimo įpročius bei motyvus. Tačiau auditorijos studijos susitelkia į tai, kas bendra medijų naudotojams kaip bendrijai, kas kuria jų patirtį ir vienija laike bei erdvėje. Augantis medijų naudotojų aktyvumas yra viena svarbiausių auditorijos studijų problemų. Tai skatina išsamiau panagrinėti šiuolaikinės auditorijos aktyvumą lemiančius veiksnius bei jį nusakančius ypatumus. Straipsnyje supažindinama su kokybiniu tyrimu, kuris atskleidžia, kad šiuolaikinių medijų auditorijų dalyvių veikla daugialypėje medijų aplinkoje yra gerokai aktyvesnė bei įvairesnė nei ankstesniais medijų raidos etapais.

The article seeks to discuss the differences of the conception of social communication in the documents of Catholic Church Inter Mirifica, Communio et Progressio and Aetatis Novae and to disclose the focal elements of the conception of social communication on the basis of these documents. The authors conclude that the document Inter Mirifica does not have the doctrinal part and deals only with means of social communication. The longest and most detailed document on social communication -- the pastoral instruction Communio et Progressio -- takes a global approach insisting that the primary aim of social communication is the unity of all humankind. The document grounds the theological conception on social communications in the doctrines of Trinity, Creation and Incarnation. Therefore, from those doctrines the authors of the article derive major doctrinal elements of the conception of social communication. Compared to the two previous documents the pastoral instruction Aetatis Novae is narrower in scope and says that social communication is essentially a communication of the Good News of Jesus Christ. In some matters Aetatis Novae goes further than the previous documents: insisting on urgency of pastoral planning for Catholic social communication in each diocese or region and affirming that mass media by no means detract from the importance of alternative media. The analysed documents as a whole reveal the conception of social communication, but in separate documents it is provided emphasizing different aspects; therefore, it does not precisely identify the meaning of social communication, its importance in the Church's mission and needs further explicit development of the theology of social communication. Summarising conclusion: the issue needs more attention of both -- the official Catholic Church ant the local Catholic Church community to show the doctrinal part of the communication theology.

This article analyzes the influence of information technologies on education. Different viewpoints on information literacy education, which is often assimilated to media literacy education, are presented in the paper. The article investigates both advantages of media literacy, which involve its positive influence on education, and disadvantages, which encompass dishonest ideological purposes of media literacy that are hidden behind the notion of efficient teaching. This work defends the idea that media literacy education is inevitable in modern schooling and that it is step by step replacing traditional ways of learning. Several media education paradigms are discussed: protectionist, media arts education, media literacy education and critical media literacy education. Some of them teach how to utilize modern technologies and develop creativity, whereas others educate how to recognize ideologies and be publicly engaged. The paper evaluates media literacy in Lithuania by exploring the context of media education, i.e. by analyzing Wiki culture, didactic approach of media literacy, relationships among participants of learning process, and influence of information technologies on the development of educational techniques. Prominent questions about Lithuanian readiness for changes in schooling methods are asked. It is argued if the country has a clear and coherent media literacy education philosophy. Answers are found by investigating information literacy programs and media literacy projects in Lithuanian secondary schools. The article arrives to a conclusion that in Lithuania media literacy education is only at the early stage of development, but its progress is quite rapid and omits several stages which were underwent in Western countries. Nevertheless, the work determines that Lithuania lacks new and brave mindset which should be spread together with critical pedagogy and critical media literacy (i.e. transforming) education.
