“…Thus, one main interest of studies on media ownership is to assess the relationship between ownership and media diversity (see Vizcarrondo, 2013). Throughout the world, scholars have critically discussed the increasing levels of media ownership concentration (e.g., Bagdikian, 2000;Doyle, 2002;Noam, 2009) and also the difficulty of its measurement (e.g., Iosifidis, 2010).…”

Whereas media ownership issues have interested scholars for decades, research has largely ignored the implications of specific ownership forms on the corporate governance of media companies, that is, how these companies are directed and controlled. This article attempts to address this gap by exploring the corporate governance of the ownership form of business foundations-a type of ownership that is increasing in different countries around the world. We analyze the corporate governance of three business foundations in the Swedish newspaper sector that together hold 26% of the market and outperform their industry peers. The control function, which is at the heart of corporate governance, is typically performed by companies' owners. However, foundations do not have a physical person as owner; thus, this control function is replaced by the foundation's charter, which stipulates the aim of the foundation's business activities. When steered by professional top management, the charter's long-term orientation facilitates the careful implementation of strategic directions without short-term performance pressures. We conclude the article by outlining several advantages and disadvantages of this ownership form for the media industry.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Data on regulation often includes listing the various mechanisms through which regulation is able to take place (for example, quotas, content rules, licensing, adherence to codes and protocols, antitrust procedures and, in the case of negative regulation, an absence of intervention) and describing their specific operations. Many studies have provided this information in an attempt to map out key features of specific broadcast environments, for example Compaine andGomery (2000 [1979]) and Noam (2009) with reference to US media ownership, Kelly, Mazzoleni andMcQuail (2004), Open Society Institute (2005) and Sanchez-Taberno et al (1993) in relation to European ownership while Creech (2007) and Napoli (2001) have produced encyclopaedic volumes which detail all the various interventions into broadcast speech and ownership.…”

“…The media industry has been hit by convergence to the largest extent and in a two-fold manner: on the one hand, the sector has experienced an over-expositional increase in communication channels, conditioned by the rapid rise of the Internet and Internet-related technologies; on the other hand, convergence has managed to gain ground by eliminating previously established sectorial boundaries (Tambini, 2001). As a result, the media sector has to face new challenges quite similar to those of the IT industry (Noam, 2009). Thereby, changes predominantly concern the sector's major agents (McPhillips and & Merlo, 2008), namely media owners as well as consumers, who are given the chance to use multiple services without changing platforms or devices respectively, and can use the same service on a variety of devices (Ofcom, 2008).…”

HEAd'15. Conference on Higher Education Advances

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

PrefaceThis volume contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAd'15), which was held in Valencia, Spain during 24-26 June 2015. HEAd aims to become a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experiences, opinions and research results relating to the preparation of students and the organization of educational systems. The conference was hosted by the Faculty of Business Administration and Management of the Universitat Politècncia de València.The conference featured three invited speakers who overviewed important and actual topics: John Kalu Osiri (Washington State University) delivered the presentation on the indispensable role of educators in shaping a nation, Ana Muñoz-Miquel (Universitat Jaume I) on how to bridge the gap between professional practice and university education, and José V. Benlloch-Dualde (Universitat Politècnica de València) on effective ways to enhance collaboration in the classroom.Following the call for papers, HEAd'15 received 165 submissions with authors representing 41 different countries. Papers went through a rigorous review process. Each paper was reviewed by at least two program committee members. Finally, 50 submissions were selected as full papers (representing an acceptance rate of 30%) and 22 submissions were selected as short papers. Additionally, 20 papers were selected to be presented as posters.I would like to thank all the people and institutions who contributed to the success of the HEAd'15 conference: the authors, the members of the program committee as well as the additional reviewers, the invited speakers, the members of the organizing committee, and the sponsors. I am also grateful to Abstract: The international accreditation for the Master and Bachelor degrees offered at our university, together with the demands of the employers, have made it clear that the students' curricula should specify not only what they have studied, but also what they are actually able to do. Although the competence based curricula approach has been used in the development of the new programmes for the Master and Bachelor degrees within the European Higher Education Area in recent years, the assessment of these competences is still a pending task. This work presents an 'outcomes' approach for the assessment of the oral and written communication skills within subjects related to mechanical and materials engineering. In particular, this paper proposes some rubrics developed in order to quantify the level of achievement. These rubrics are based on the evaluation of some learning outcomes that can be observed by using different strategies during the course. Conclusions about preliminary results and the difficulties found in order to create these tools are also described here.
