Die Universiteit Stellenbosch het die gerekende mediakundige Herman Wasserman met ingang Januarie 2023 as professor en voorsitter van die instelling se departement joernalistiek aangestel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wasserman is tans professor in mediastudie aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad, waar hy van 2015 tot 2020 as direkteur van die Sentrum vir Film- en Mediastudie gedien het. Hy was voorheen verbonde aan die Rhodes-universiteit sowel as die Britse universiteite Sheffield en Newcastle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is \u2019n alumnus van die Universiteit Stellenbosch, waar hy die grade BA (1992), HonsBA (1993), HonsBA (joernalistiek) (1995), MA (1997) en DLitt (2000) verwerf het. Hy het ook van 2002 tot 2007 in die departement joernalistiek klasgegee \u2013 eers as Rykie van Reenen-genoot en later as medeprofessor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voor sy akademiese loopbaan het hy as verslaggewer vir Media24 gewerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wasserman se werk word internasionaal erken. Hy is \u2019n genoot en raadslid van die internasionale Kommunikasievereniging, \u2019n voormalige afdelingshoof van die internasionale Vereniging vir media- en kommunikasienavorsing en \u2019n verkose lid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Wetenskapakademie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op Suid-Afrikaanse bodem het hy die Stalsprys vir kommunikasiekunde en joernalistiek van die Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarbenewens is Wasserman hoofredakteur van die vaktydskrifte African Journalism Studies <\/i>en Annals of the International Communication Association<\/i>, mederedakteur van Communication Theory <\/i>en International Communication Gazette<\/i>, en dien in die eindredaksie van verskeie ander tydskrifte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is \u2019n besoekende professor aan die Universiteit van Houston (Verenigde State), die Ludwig-Maximilians-universit\u00e4t (M\u00fcnchen) en die Tsinghua-universiteit (Beijing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy huidige werk fokus op die media en disinformasie, en hy het al met organisasies soos die W\u00eareldgesondheidsorganisasie, Unesco, Digital Public Square en Africacheck saamgewerk om kwessies soos die Covid-19-verwante \u201cinfodemie\u201d, mediavryheid en ontwikkeling, mediageletterdheid in skole en aanlyn disinformasie te bestudeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Universiteit Stellenbosch is verheug om prof. Wasserman by sy alma mater terug te verwelkom,\u201d s\u00ea prof. Wim de Villiers, rektor en visekanselier van die Universiteit Stellenbosch. \u201cOns departement joernalistiek, wat bekend is as een van die beste joernalistiekskole op die vasteland, het \u2019n lang geskiedenis van onderrig- en navorsingsuitnemendheid. Daarby bied ons toegespitste en praktiese opleiding vir joernaliste wat moet funksioneer in \u2019n w\u00eareld wat al hoe meer vyandig is jeens objektiewe en billike verslaggewing. Prof. Wasserman is die ideale kandidaat om die leisels oor te neem en die departement \u2019n uitdagende dog opwindende toekoms binne te lei.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Anthony Leysens, dekaan van die fakulteit lettere en sosiale wetenskappe, die tuiste van die departement joernalistiek, is ewe ingenome met die aanstelling en s\u00ea die fakulteit verwelkom dit dat iemand van prof. Wasserman se akademiese statuur op die gebied van mediastudie hom by die departement aansluit. \u201cEk kan aan niemand met beter kwalifikasies en ervaring dink om die departement te lei en die uitdagings te trotseer \u00e9n geleenthede aan te gryp van \u2019n digitale medialandskap wat radikaal anders lyk as waaraan ons ooit gewoond was nie,\u201d s\u00ea prof. Leysens. \u201cProf. Wasserman se werk kry dit reg om verskillende dissiplines in te sluit en byeen te bring om op kwessies soos kultuur, demokrasie, disinformasie en mag in die media van die globale suide te konsentreer. Ek sien daarna uit om met hom saam te werk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Lizette Rabe, die uittredende voorsitter van die departement, s\u00ea op haar beurt: \u201cDie departement joernalistiek is opgewonde dat \u2019n internasionaal gerekende media-akademikus soos prof. Wasserman die instelling \u2019n algeheel nuwe digitale era sal inneem \u2013 veral in \u2019n tyd wanneer die grondbeginsels van tradisionele joernalistiek, ongeag die platform, en met inbegrip van tegnologie\u00eb wat nog ontdek moet word, al hoe belangriker sal word om ons publiek te bedien en te help onderskei tussen gekontroleerde, onafhanklike, betroubare inligting en die disinformasie, vals beriggewing en waninligting wat nou so besonder volop en oortuigend is.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wasserman sien daarna uit om hom by die universiteit aan te sluit juis noudat die studie van die media al hoe meer relevant word. \u201cJoernalistiek en mediastudie bied studente \u2019n geleentheid om loopbaangerigte vaardighede te ontwikkel en terselfdertyd krities na te dink oor die rol van die media in bykans alle aspekte van die politiek, die samelewing en die daaglikse lewe,\u201d s\u00ea hy. \u201cNoudat die joernalistiek w\u00eareldwyd krisisse van gesag, vertroue, relevansie en ekonomiese volhoubaarheid beleef, is die uitdaging vir joernalistiekopleiding om maniere te bedink waarop joernalistiek opnuut \u2019n band met gehore kan bou, met gemeenskappe kan saamwerk, demokratiese deelname kan laat herleef en kritiese burgerskap kan aanmoedig. D\u00edt moet gedoen word in \u2019n tyd van toenemende internasionale politieke druk en aanslae op die vryheid van uitdrukking, en \u2019n al hoe groter behoefte aan onafhanklike, betroubare en ingeligte joernalistiek om disinformasie te bestry. \u201cEk sien daarna uit om hierdie vak-, navorsings- en praktykgebied by die Universiteit Stellenbosch te help groei en te sien floreer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
