Book Description
Notre mode de vie influence-t-il les performances de notre cerveau ? L’alimentation, le sport, la musique, la télévision, les jeux vidéo ou Internet sont-ils susceptibles d’améliorer ou de diminuer notre capacité à nous concentrer, à mémoriser ou à organiser nos pensées et nos actions ? Ces fonctions – dites cognitives – ont, de fait, des liens avec toutes ces pratiques. Or, si les effets de la pensée sur le corps ont été bien étudiés, la manière dont notre cerveau en tant qu’organe de la pensée est impacté par de nombreux paramètres n’a fait l’objet que de travaux épars. Cet ouvrage en fait une synthèse pour la première fois, en les mettant en perspective avec les effets d’un vieillissement normal ou pathologique. Il formule des propositions concrètes permettant de préserver au mieux son corps, mais aussi d’améliorer son bien-être et ses performances cérébrales. Nicolas Franck est psychiatre au CHU de Lyon et professeur de médecine des universités. Il est responsable du service universitaire de réhabilitation (hôpital Le Vinatier) et enseigne la psychiatrie à l’université Claude-Bernard-Lyon-I. Il est président de l’Association francophone de remédiation cognitive, responsable du DU remédiation cognitive, ainsi que d’une équipe de recherche sur la schizophrénie au Centre de neuroscience cognitive du CNRS. Il a publiéLa Schizophrénie.

Book Description
More journalists are being killed, attacked and intimidated than at any time in history. Reporting Dangerously: Journalist Killings, Intimidation and Security examines the statistics and looks at the trends in journalist killings and intimidation around the world. It identifies what factors have led to this rise and positions these in historical and global contexts. This important study also provides case studies and first-hand accounts from journalists working in some of the most dangerous places in the world today and seeks to understand the different pressures they must confront. It also examines industry and political responses to these trends and pressures as well as the latest international initiatives aimed at challenging cultures of impunity and keeping journalists safe. Throughout, the authors argue that journalism contributes a vital if often neglected role in the formation and conduct of civil societies. This is why reporting from ‘uncivil’ places matters and this is why journalists are often positioned in harm’s way. The responsibility to report in a globalizing world of crises and human insecurity, and the responsibility to try and keep journalists safe while they do so, it is argued, belongs to us all.

Book Description
For a century and a half, journalists made a good business out of selling the latest news or selling ads next to that news. Now that news pours out of the Internet and our mobile devices—fast, abundant, and mostly free—that era is ending. Our best journalists, Mitchell Stephens argues, instead must offer original, challenging perspectives—not just slightly more thorough accounts of widely reported events. His book proposes a new standard: “wisdom journalism,” an amalgam of the more rarified forms of reporting—exclusive, enterprising, investigative—and informed, insightful, interpretive, explanatory, even opinionated takes on current events. This book features an original, sometimes critical examination of contemporary journalism, both on- and offline. And it finds inspiration for a more ambitious and effective understanding of journalism in examples from twenty-first-century articles and blogs, as well as in a selection of outstanding twentieth-century journalism and Benjamin Franklin’s eighteenth-century writings. Most attempts to deal with journalism’s current crisis emphasize technology. This book emphasizes mindsets and the need to rethink what journalism has been and might become.

Book Description
Building on the vast research conducted on war and media since the 1970s, scholars are now studying the digital transformation of the production of news. Little scholarly attention has been paid, however, to non-professional, eyewitness visuals, even though this genre holds a still greater bearing on the way conflicts are fought, communicated, and covered by the news media. This volume examines the power of new technologies for creating and disseminating images in relation to conflicts. Mortensen presents a theoretical framework and uses case studies to investigate the impact of non-professional images with regard to essential issues in today’s media landscape: including new media technologies and democratic change, the political mobilization and censorship of images, the ethics of spectatorship, and the shifting role of the mainstream news media in the digital age.
