Ethical concerns in journalism done by non-journalists
If journalism has become post-industrial, we observe facilitators production systems, and publication of user-generated content (UGC) and the performance of professional and amateur sharing. In this context, it is necessary to question how ordinary citizens who practice acts of journalism ethically justify their work. This article draws on three episodes (England, Brazil and the West Bank) to deepen a debate on the approximation of values of amateur and professional journalists. The text also reviews examples of organizations and professionals who strive to harmonize relations in this new media ecosystem
La mujer sin cabeza (Lucrecia Martel, 2008) y el mecanismo del olvido en el pasado y el presente
Pretendemos hacer algunas consideraciones sobre la película La mujer sin cabeza (2008), de Lucrecia Martel, explorando la cuestión del olvido intrincada en su trama. A través de la protagonista -Verónica-, la directora busca hacer un acercamiento personal a los mecanismos de silenciamiento y desmemoria en los cuales la sociedad (tanto hoy como durante períodos no-democráticos, como fue la última dictadura militar en Argentina, de 1976 a 1983) se refugia, absteniéndose de sus responsabilidades en diversos espacios de violencia.We intend to make some considerations about the film The headless woman (Lucrecia Martel, 2008), exploring the question about the oblivion present in the plot. Through the protagonist Verónica, Lucrecia seeks to make a personal approach to the mechanisms of silencing and oblivion. The Argentinian society (today or during periods of non-democracy, as the last military dictatorship in Argentina, 1976 - 1983) makes use of these mechanisms to refrain from their responsibilities in certain areas of violence

Una guía de los observatorios de medios en América Latina
Surgidos en fechas recientes, los observatorios son instancias de supervisión mediática que vigilan, controlan y monitorean la actividad de los medios. En este sentido, constituyen un exponente más dentro del fenómeno del media criticicism, o revisión crítica de la actividad de los medios. Este fenómeno comienza a surgir en diferentes partes del mundo ante la convicción de que el poder que tienen hoy los medios no se corresponde con un ejercicio siempre responsable de su misión. Latinoamérica no ha sido ajena a esta realidad y desde 1996, fecha en la que surge el primer observatorio latino, éstos no han dejado de extenderse a lo largo y ancho de todo el continente. El objetivo del presente artículo es describir la trayectoria delos principales observatorios que continúan hoy operativos. Junto a ellos, se ha incluido también un repertorio de experiencias afines que, sin embargo, en sentido estricto, no son observatorios. El propósito final de esta guía-una de las posibles- es contribuir a clarificar un escenario que, se prevé, seintensifique en los próximos años
Ethics in communication: introductory note
[Excerpt] The new media landscape has brought to public debate a set of new concerns and challenges, regarding the problems of ethics in communication. It is rather clear that ethical issues associated to communication have always provoked strong public controversies, but they didn’t necessarily become very present in the research agendas of academic and scientific institutions. Often associated to simple moralistic perspectives, or just reduced to a set of common-sense assertions about good or bad social behavior, the ethical dimension of public communication has not always been adequately valued as a rational, conscious and critical process of choices based on principles committed with truth, trust and the human dignity. In spite of this, more and more voices have come to stress the importance of an ethical commitment regarding all the actors involved in public communication; at the same time, they point precisely to the lack of ethics as one of the most worrisome signs of a communicative activity that often disrespects the basic requirements of a healthy social life. This means that the subject of ethics remains highly topical and relevant in the field of the communication studies, calling for more and more research that may help us to better understand and improve the communicative processes in complex societies like those we live in nowadays. Moreover, the technological developments of the digital age, and particularly the dissemination of Internet and its multiple opportunities for on-line communication, brought new problems and new challenges to the media environment, either in what concerns the professional context of some specific sectors (journalism, advertising, public relations, multimedia production), or in what regards the citizens in general, who presently have (or may have) in the public sphere a voice they hadn’t in the past. More and more, ethics isn’t anything that only matters to professionals or to mainstream organizations of communication and the media; instead, it also affects and involves the audience, which is becoming more and more an active participant and a co-author of the communicative process in the public sphere. Furthermore, ethics is now (and will be more in the future) a decisive element to distinguish between what is acceptable and what is not, between what is right and what is wrong, between what actually respects the human dignity of all people and what doesn’t.

Fiscalizar e alfabetizar: dois papéis dos observatórios de meios latino-americanos
O artigo analisa as funções desempenhas pelos observatórios de imprensa de países da América Latina na tentativa de oferecer novos elementos para um perfil dessas iniciativas. Nove casos são estudados detalhadamente, tendo como contraponto entrevistas dos responsáveis pelos observatórios. O artigo enumera seis funções exercidas pelos media watchers: a) Revisar o conteúdo e a oferta dos meios; b) Elaborar estudos, informes e análises comparativas; c) Publicar ou difundir os resultados de suas atuações; d) Recolher queixas, críticas e comentários dos consumidores; e) Capacitar a audiência para o consumo crítico dos meios; f) Capacitar os jornalistas para a elaboração de um jornalismo de qualidade. Estas funções se enquadram em dois papéis distintos, característicos dos observatórios latino-americanos: i)fiscalizar a atuação dos meios de comunicação e dos profissionais com eles envolvidos e ii) alfabetizar midiaticamente os diversos públicos e mesmo os jornalistas na busca de produtos de informação com mais qualidade e ética.Publicad
How to Assess Nanomaterial Toxicity? An Environmental and Human Health Approach
Nanomaterials had been used because of the properties they exert in such scale (<100 nm), and they have been used in a wide variety of products like paints, electronics, fabrics, and also personal care products. Recent manuscripts available in the literature demonstrate the potential benefits of nanotechnology with these products. However, when released in the environment or when in contact with the human body, it is hard to track their final destination and their influence over the living beings. So, since nanomaterials were considered an important technology, a concern about its risks also started. Due to the variety of sizes, physicochemical properties, and uses, many researchers are aiming to assess the possible toxicity of this class of particles. Because of that, the chapter objective is to gather which assay, performed in vivo and in vitro, is the most frequently used and recommended to measure nanomaterial toxicity. Also, it is important to know which is the most suitable test to evaluate the toxicity over the environment, through direct effect and after biodegradation, and also related to human health. This chapter presents a concise review about the accepted methods to assess nanomaterial toxicity and also discuss about the need for regulamentation
