• Sommario/riassunto: Zusammenfassung Steht der Journalismus unter Beschuss? Das Bild von durch kugelsichere Westen geschützten, mit Kameras und Mikrofonen bewaffneten Kriegskorrespondenten, kommt dabei in den Sinn. Körperliche Bedrohungen bilden jedoch nur eine Gefahr. Die Journalisten und der Journalismus selbst sind anderen Bedrohungen ausgesetzt, etwa Zensur, politischer und finanzieller Druck, Einschüchterung, Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit sowie Angriffe auf journalistische Quellen. Die sozialen Netzwerke führen zudem dazu, dass nun jeder von uns Informationen veröffentlichen kann, womit auch bedeutende ethisch-journalistische Fragestellungen einhergehen. Wie kann man mit diesen Bedrohungen umgehen? 10 Experten analysieren die Lage aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. In einer Zeit, in der ein qualitativ hochwertiger, unabhängiger Journalismus notwendiger denn je ist – der Beruf steht zudem vor vielen verschiedenen Herausforderungen – gehen sie den Fragen zur Rolle des Journalismus in demokratischen Gesellschaften nach. Mit Beiträgen von Onur Andreotti, Nils Muižnieks, Tarlach McGonagle, Sejal Parmar, Başak Çalı, Dirk Voorhoof , Kerem Altıparmak, Yaman Akdeniz, Katharine Sarikakis, Aidan White, Eugenia Siapera, Pierre Haski Abstract Is journalism under threat? The image of journalists, as helmeted war correspondents protected by bullet-proof vests and armed only with cameras and microphones, springs to mind. Physical threats are only the most visible dangers, however. Journalists and journalism itself are facing ; other threats such as censorship, political and economic pressure, intimidation, job insecurity and attacks on the protection of journalists’ sources. Social media and digital photography mean that anyone can now publish information, which is also upsetting the ethics of journalism. How can these threats be tackled? In this book, 10 experts from different backgrounds analyse the situation from various angles. At a time when high-quality, independent journalism is more necessary than ever – and yet when the profession is facing many different challenges – they explore the issues surrounding the role of journalism in democratic societies.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides a comprehensive portrayal of the history of Indian mathematicians and statisticians and uncovers many missing parts of the scientific representation of mathematical and statistical research during the 19th and 20th centuries of Bengal (now West Bengal), India. This book gives a brief historical account about the establishment of the first-two departments in an Indian university, where graduate teaching and research were initiated. This was a unique distinction for the University of Calcutta which was established in 1857. The creation of the world famous Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Calcutta (now Kolkata) is also briefly described. The lives and works of the 16 pioneer mathematical scientists who adorned the above mentioned institutions and the first Indian Institute Technology (IIT) of India have been elaborated in lucid language. Some outstanding scholars who were trained at the ISI but left India permanently have also been discussed briefly in a separate chapter. This book fulfils a long-standing gap in the history of modern Indian mathematics, which will make the book very useful to researchers in the history of science and mathematics. Written in very lucid English with little mathematical or statistical jargon makes the book immensely readable even to general readers with interest in scientific history even from non-mathematical, non-statistical background. This book is a clear portrayal of the struggle and success of researchers in mathematical sciences in Bengal (an important part of the colonial India), unveils before the international community of mathematical scientists. The real connoisseurs will appreciate the value of the book, as it will clear up many prevailing misconceptions.
