The paper examined the impacts of social media in influencing public opinion in Muslim communities. Invariably, public opinion is a vital tool for government, politicians, and decision-makers in all communities, including Muslims’. Social media is a powerful and strong machine to mold, shape, and influence public opinion. In developing this paper data were obtained from a secondary source, meaning data were generated from several documentaries such as- books, journals, newspapers, magazines, archives, etc. From the available literature, the study found that the mass media in general, and the social media in particular, are very important in making and influencing public opinion in the society, especially the Muslim communities. To explain the topic under study the researchers adopted two theories; culturists and Class-dominant Theories. The theories claim that people interact with media to create their own meanings out of the images and messages they receive. This theory sees audiences as playing an active rather than a passive role in relation to social media. In addition, the assumption of these theories is that social media replicates and plans the view of a marginal elite, which controls the system to influence people's opinions. The researcher recommended that politicians, governments, and policymakers should pay much attention to social media and to use them wisely in a positive way, for their own good and for the benefit of their communities in particular and the society at large.

This article aims to elucidate Kierkegaard’s thinking on the press and propagating falsehood. It starts from the story of the origin of the polemic with the satirical magazine The Corsair. It then moves to discuss his ensued confrontation with the written press on the conception of truth and falsehood. To that end, it reflects on the assumptions involved and indicates the implications that can be deduced, both for Kierkegaard's time and concerning the relevance or actuality of the mass media. Its concluding thoughts include Mynster as an apologist for Goldschmidt, Kierkegaard as a prophet forewarning about today’s globalized problem of the social media manipulating of public opinion, and that journalistic communication with the concrete individual lacks a conception of life compared to indirect communication of power, knowing power, which like ethico-religious truths, has to be subjectively appropriated and actualized as part of one's life conception.

The Social

Civil society is considered to be the arena of voluntary and collective action among shared interests, purposes and values that strengthens the social foundations of democracy in a state. As a part of the civil society, media enable every layer of the society to access free and open information. In other words, media with its journalistic products has become a free market to every element of the society to promote their ideas. Media will fight for influence, claim for the truth, and perform their own version of social reality. Not only as a channel, media can also place itself as a doer in defining social reality and pick any important and relevant issues. The content of mass media cannot be separated from news about conflict, especially those related to human rights. The term “Bad news is good news” seems to be the perspective use by reporters in their writings. News on conflict always becomes major headlines in many world newspapers, including Indonesia. Hard to deny that media, unaware or even aware, has make news on conflicts as a commodity, thus creating widespread public opinion. In a fragile democracy directed public opinion could jeopardize the structure of democratic civil society and human rights basis. That is why conflicts could threaten civil society life, especially here in Indonesia. Media role in reporting conflict has become a serious challenge for Indonesian democratic civil society life.

The mass media, increasingly more present in the society, seem to be losing their social sense and their function of citizenship formation, for the benefit of business logic and market. The public use of television is becoming blurred, so there is an urgent need to promote channels of civic vocation that recovers the social and formative role of media. The University television is a wonderful way for the promotion of this television. In this article an analysis of the Spanish situation is done and proposals for a University television of public utility are carried out. Los medios de comunicación, cada vez más presentes en la sociedad, parecen estar perdiendo el sentido social y de formación de la ciudadanía de éstos, en beneficio de la lógica empresarial y el mercado. Cada vez se desdibuja más el servicio público de la televisión y urge potenciar canales de vocación ciudadana que recuperen el papel social y formativo de los medios. La televisión universitaria es una magnífica vía para el fomento de esta televisión. En esta comunicación se hace un análisis de la situación española y se realizan propuestas para una televisión universitaria de servicio público.

New Situation

Homo Zapiens, le roman de Pelevine, se présente comme une anti-utopie dans la Russie postsoviétique. À travers un héros naïf qui tente de s’adapter au capitalisme, on découvre la nouvelle réalité sociale de la Russie en même temps que sa virtualisation par les médias. Le héros devenu rédacteur publicitaire invite à suivre un deuxième parcours, celui de la conception des slogans qu’il ne cesse d’inventer. La truculence et l’imbrication des signifiants se font de plus en plus vives dans le roman jusqu’à provoquer un emballement du signe. Le récit invite donc à deux lectures parallèles : une anti-quête de la réalité par un personnage naïf dans lequel on reconnaît la société russe prenant progressivement conscience de sa nouvelle situation dans les années 90; et un étiolement de la langue dans les différents slogans publicitaires. Le roman pose ainsi la question du réel de la Russie postsoviétique comme un vide sur lequel le pays doit reconstruire son identité.AbstractPelevin’s novel Homo Zapiens is a dystopia set in post-soviet Russia. Through the eyes of a credulous hero who tries to adapt to capitalism, the reader discovers the social reality of Russia and its virtualisation by the mass media at the same time. The story then follows the hero through his life as an advertising writer, in particular the creation process of the slogans which he constantly invents. The vividness and the interweaving of the signifiers are gradually increasing in the novel until reaching the point where the signs are almost spinning out of control. The narrative offers two parallel readings: an anti-quest of reality by a naive character which embodies the Russian society becoming gradually aware of its new situation in the 90’s; and the decline of language in the different advertising slogans. The novel thereby portrays the reality of postsoviet Russia as a void on which the country must re-build its identity.

Being part of the Society of Knowledge implies to accept the importance of the mass media in the construction of the social structure. There is no doubt about the hegemony of the radio and television in the society and their effects on young population. The Forum offers the opportunity to integrate different perspectives and socio-educational and technical models to analyze real TV. From a sociological point of view, we can approach the directions that our society has taken and the impact of television contents on the children´s style of life. The educational model allows us to access to patterns, initiatives and structures that have been developed to confront the mass media, while the business dynamic forces the media to be concerned about the weakness of the young audience in their access to audiovisual media content. We hope this cocktail of perspectives might be useful to develop new and refreshing ideas concerning children´s TV programming. Participar de la Sociedad del Conocimiento implica interiorizar la importancia de los medios de comunicación y los rasgos que les proporciona la estructura social. No dudamos de la hegemonía de medios como la Radio y la Televisión y sus efectos «casi críticos» en la población de menor edad. La oportunidad que nos ofrece el Foro se traduce en adoptar un enfoque integrador de perspectivas y modelos sociológicos, educativos y técnicos de la televisión real. El marco social nos posiciona ante la realidad, «por» donde y «hacia» donde camina nuestra sociedad y «como» asume la incorporación de la TV al estilo de vida de niños y jóvenes. La educación, por su parte, nos permite acceder a los modelos, estructuras e iniciativas puestas en marcha en los ámbitos formales y no formales ante y para los medios, y la dinámica empresarial de una cadena de radio y televisión real nos expone la implementación práctica de espacios infantiles en TV, con los condicionantes de ser y parecer correctos en el enfoque hacia la infancia, y la responsabilidad de tener acceso a la audiencia más joven y, por tanto, más vulnerable. Deseamos que este «cóctel» de perspectivas, adecuadamente «mezcladas» dé fruto a una seria «receta» especialmente refrescante, con nuevas ideas sobre la televisión real y los niños.

Abstract During the last two decades of rising anti-migrant racism in Europe, Islamophobia has proven to be the highest, most acute, and widely spread form of racism. The article shows how anti-migrant Islamophobia is a structural phenomenon in European societies and how its internal structure has specific social roots and mechanisms of functioning. Such an articulate and interdependent set of key themes, policies, practices, discourses, and social actors it is intended to inferiorise and marginalise Muslim immigrants while legitimising and reproducing social inequalities affecting the majority of them. The article examines the social origins of anti-migrant Islamophobia and the modes and mechanisms through which it naturalises inequalities; it focuses on the main social actors involved in its production, specifically on the role of some collective subjects as anti-Muslim organizations and movements, far-right parties, best-selling authors, and the mass-media.

No professional of the mass media would dare to say without much ado that ‘anything goes’ to obtain publicity, to gain hearing or to compete with the adversary. That's why we appeal to the ethics. To ask for an ethical look or, better, an ethical commitment on the part of the mass media. Ningún profesional de los medios de comunicación se atrevería a decir sin más que todo vale para obtener publicidad, ganar audiencia o competir con el adversario. Por eso apelamos a la ética. Pedir una mirada ética o, mejor, un compromiso ético por parte de los medios de comunicación.
