Radio Journalism in America

Telling the News in the Golden Age and Beyond

This history of radio news reporting recounts and assesses the contributions of radio toward keeping America informed since the 1920s. It identifies distinct periods and milestones in broadcast journalism and includes a biographical dictionary of important figures who brought news to the airwaves. Americans were dependent on radio for cheap entertainment during the Great Depression and for critical information during the Second World War, when no other medium could approach its speed and accessibility. Radio’s diminished influence in the age of television beginning in the 1950s is studied, as the aural medium shifted from being at the core of many families’ activities to more specialized applications, reaching narrowly defined listener bases. Many people turned elsewhere for the news. (And now even TV is challenged by yet newer media.) The introduction of technological marvels throughout the past hundred years has significantly altered what Americans hear and how, when, and where they hear it.

Unsure it was a prom— ising venture, however, he required some assurance that TV would be bigger than radio one day. A pundit credits Edwards as the father of television journalism, aflirming that all who followed him owed a part of ...

TASAWUF AKHLAKI: Ilmu Tasawuf yang Berkonsentrasi dalam Perbaikan Akhlak

Buku hadir sebagai buah kegelisahan melihat dan mengamati keadaan dewasa ini. Tampaknya akhlak manusia semakin hancur dan kebablasan disebabkan pengaruh global. Kebebasan manusia memperturutkan keinginan dan hawa nafsunya tanpa memikirkan konsekuensinya. Ajaran yang terdapat dalam tasawuf akhlaki antara lain: 1) Takhalli, yaitu penyucian diri dari sifat-sifat tercela. 2) Tahalli, yaitu menghiasi dan membiasakan diri dengan sikap perbuatan terpuji. 3) Tajalli, yaitu tersingkapnya Nur Ilahi (cahaya Tuhan) seiring dengan sirnanya sifat-sifat kemanusiaan yang negatif pada diri manusia setelah tahapan takhalli dan tahalli. Tasawuf akhlaki akan mewujudkan akhlak mulia kepada manusia yang mengamalkan ajaran-ajarannya. Akhlak mulia adalah puncak dari segala amal ibadah manusia, ibarat pohon kayu adalah buahnya. Buah pohon kayu itu, baik atau buruk tergantung perawatannya dan pemeliharaannya. Begitu pula gambaran amal ibadah dan akhlak manusia. Jadi indikator ibadah manusia, diterima atau tidak diterima oleh Allah swt, dapat dilihat dan diamati dari akhlaknya (bersikap dan bertutur kata) dalam kehidupan sehari-harinya.

Buku hadir sebagai buah kegelisahan melihat dan mengamati keadaan dewasa ini.

Macroprudential Regulation and Policy for the Islamic Financial Industry

Theory and Applications

This volume aims to discuss the current research, theory, methodology and applications of macropreudential regulation and policy for the Islamic financial industry. Published in cooperation with the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI), this book features contributions from a workshop presented in collaboration with the University College of Bahrain (UCB) in Manama, Bahrain, aimed to bring together experts in Islamic banking and regulation and financial economics. This resulting book sheds light on how macroprudential policy may be implemented in the Islamic financial system, and indicates current challenges and their effects on economic growth, financial stability and monetary regulation. Macroprudential policy is increasingly seen as a way of dealing with the different dimensions of systemic risk. But many central banks, bank supervisors and regulators have limited experience with macroprudential tools, particularly in the Islamic financial industry. Given the complementarities between monetary policy and financial stability, it appears that central banks would always play an important role in macroprudential policy. But how should macroprudential policy best interact with monetary policy? It is becoming more pressing for the central banks to conduct monetary policy in which its conventional banking system operates side by side with Islamic banking system. This question has received increasing attention in the research literature but there is much we still need to learn. This is why new insights from research on macroprudential policy – which has gained important impetus in recent years – are so valuable. Featuring contributions on topics such as macroprudential regulation, policy, tools and instruments; governance, systematic risk, monetary policy, and bank leverage, the editors provide a collection of comprehensive research covering the most important issues on macroprudential policy and regulation for the Islamic financial industry. This volume is expected to be a significant contribution to the literature in the field of Islamic finance and evaluation of public policies to promote the development for Islamic financial industry. It is also served as a key text for students, academics, researchers, policy-makers in the field of Islamic finance.

Development Skills and Concepts through Educational Technology

Development Skills and Concepts through Educational Technology Skills are involved in construing the meaning of symbols used for conveying the conceptual content. These skills fall under broad categories namely literacy, numeracy and graphicacy. Literacy includes understanding terminology and explanations using words. Numeracy includes understanding mathematical notations for communication using numbers. Teacher knowledge of appropriate performance strategies for a learning activity is also required for guiding different work. For example, the teacher needs to know why and when to ask students to reconsider their choice of the numerical scale while plotting a graph. To gradually develop this skill, graphs involving one nominal variable, e.g., months of the year, have been found as good starting points for facilitating students to focus on numerical issues along a single dimension. Technology in education is most simply and comfortably defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student learning and may be measured in how and why individuals behave. Educational Technology relies on a broad definition of the word “technology.” Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines or hardware, but it can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. Hope this book will be useful to students as a reference book and will be a priced collection for their own library. Contents: • Distance Education and Curriculum Technology • Attitude of Experimentation • Information Technology and Agriculture • Use the Internet to Teach Information Literacy • Manage Classroom Using Technology • Confidence-Based Learning, Sleep-Learning, Over-Learning, Observational Learning, Cooperative Learning and Operant Conditioning • Government Investment in Educational Technology, Methodology, Research and Development • Higher Education in Science and Engineering: An American Perspective on Educational Technology • Use of Distance Education in Non-formal Education: An Indian Perspective on Research in Distance Education
