To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.
Understanding the creation of reality TV news is crucial for a developed media literacy of citizens in modern democracies. TV news consumed offline or online are still the main and most trusted news source of citizens in Western countries. However, they differ in content and in the way news stories are told, how an event is put into a news narrative, how anchors frame stories, how language and footage are combined, etc. The symposium will focus on different news cultures and different reporting styles in their interrelation to traditions and institutional aspects of journalism. In genre studies and media linguistics, and in applied linguistics in general, the debate on the relation between culture and language has gained momentum in the last decade. Genres as symbolic forms reflect cultural norms and values; the same time, cultural values and norms are established, contested, and negotiated with and in language and image use. The symposium will focus on the contrastive analysis of TV news cultures, with two sub-themes: Between global and local: TV news between global reporting trends and adaptation to local audiencesLanguage, footage, sound: TV news stories as multimodal gestalts in contrast

This study investigates how international TV news channels present and frame current events in YouTube videos through combinations of multimodal resources. It further considers how multimodal analysis can be complemented by computational tools and approaches, and the trade-offs to be considered when dealing with both small and big data samples.
TV news cultures on Instagram: Genre profiles and multimodal design of journalistic Instagram Videos and Stories

My presentation deals with TV news in the context of Instagram. Drawing on multimodal discourse analysis, I explore how public broadcaster use the affordances of the Instagram platform to present news as "newsbites" and adapt to shifting digital news cultures.
The multimodal staging of ‘closeness’ in TV news coverage as key aspect of journalistic culture

In my talk I will analyze the coverage of the same event by two different TV news shows with a focus on multimodal resources that are used to stage closeness or distance to the reported event. I will then relate the result of my analysis to key dimensions of journalistic culture.

Based on a corpus of one week’s newscasts of the main 15-minute newscasts, the 100-seconds version and the App, the presentation will compare the content, genres and text types and the linguistic features of these three formats of the German Tagesschau, the news of the public, non-commercial TV channel ARD.

It is a common topos that language differs very much depending for example (and most importantly) on its usage in a written or a spoken way. It is less known that there are also - and again quite different - usages of language if it is connected with moving images. Professional television news authors know and utilize these rules. News produced by the new, digital broadcasters whose authors had no classical journalistic training lack knowledge about the reasons of, nor how to utilize these rules. Thus we observe a gap in language use between professional television news and the majority of the 'other' digital video new presenters. This will be shown comparing news from Germany's biggest public broadcaster (ZDF) and a small private digital broadcaster (regio tv). I will also discuss which way in using language suits better to a broader audience, and why.
News – transnational, translocal, glocal: multimodal patterns of television news reporting in inter- and intra-cultural comparison
Featured02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 16:00:00 UTC
Media and communication constantly develop, vary and, whence, modify texts and types of text. Daily mass-media news coverage is also subject to this process of change. In the case of television news, different patterns of news presentation and the practice of their implementation pertinent to certain cultural spaces can be identified. The differences apply not only to the international comparison of television news they relate to other constellations as well, such as the products of different television stations within a country (public vs. commercial vs. regional).
Two distinct countries? Poland in the context of the election campaign - framing differences between public and private broadcasting stations

The comparison of news reports in public and private broadcasting stations in the context of the 2021 presidential campaign in Rzeszów raises a question about a leading role of media and a profiling of its target group as a reflection of the split in the Polish society.
Television news in action – the role of genre issues in the production process

Drawing on video recordings of editorial conferences of a German TV news magazine, we show how television producers orient to genre claims that are central to their professional self-definition. Although genre isn’t explicitly negotiated, participants orient to genre both in the overall structure of the conferences and in specific practices.
