Whereas, this is more expedient because it is increasingly becoming difficult for non-profit organizations to maintain strong connections with the totality of the regular and potential donors and volunteers. In response to the challenges, this paper explores the perceptions of the managers and donors of non-profit organizations on how Facebook can take care of the difficulties of building trust and maintaining relationship which are the bedrock of fundraising and donation. Qualitative method with in-depth interview approach through a purposive sampling was adopted to probe into the impact of building and maintaining relationship. The data was analyzed thematically using NVIVO. The findings revealed that Facebook is mostly used by non-profit organizations to build and ma...

Therefore, this research explores how strength of trust and relationship as fostered by the use of Facebook influences attitudes of donors and public in Libya toward volunteering for and making charitable gifts to support non-profit organizations. Thematic data analysis technique was used to analyze interviews data. However, qualitative computer data analysis software (NVIVO 10) was used to analyze the data to facilitate the process of storing, sorting, coding, analyzing and emergence of representation of the data. Based on the findings from the study, it is been recommended that non-profit organizations in Libya pay...

The sample used in this study were 324 company years in the trade, services, and investment in the research period of 2008-2012. The results of this study demonstrate that corporate social responsibility has positive effect on abnormal returns. While the results of the control variables, namely return on assets, the size of the company, debt to equity ratio, and the market share does not affect the abnormal return.

Previous studies have rarely compared between the extent to which news gratifications sought are obtanied in the conventional media and the extent to which the news gratifications are sought and obtained in the online media. Through a qualitative approach, this study employs a uses and gratifications approach to compare how news gratifications are sought and obtained in both the online and conventional media. Indepth interviews were conducted with 14 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria between January and April, 2014. Qualitative analysis was done on Nvivo 10 software for a thorough and transparent analysis. Investigation reveals why news gratifications are less sought but more obtained in the conventional media and why news gratifications are more sought but less obtained in the online media.

Previous studies have also explored news consumption among ethnic groups through the uses and gratifications approach. However, most of this effort has focussed on international ethnic groups with little attention on intra-ethnic settings. This study examines the influence of ethnic identity on news motives among the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria.. We also examine the relationship between ethnic identity and gender as predictors of news usage. Survey questionnaires were administered on 400 undergraduates in three universities in Nigeria between January and April, 2014. We use Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to measure the relationships among the variables. Findings show that there is a significant difference among the ethnic groups in news usage

The study revealed how Iraq war was covered and what media frames were employed by the British newspapers. For this, editorials of these newspapers were analyzed by employing the technique of thematic analysis. By analyzing the data, it was found that British press mostly framed Iraq war in a negative stance. The British newspapers frequently adopted anti war frame and criticized British government support to the Iraqi attack. The British press was more concerned about humanitarian and rebuilding issues in Iraq. Overall, it was noted that the coverage of Iraq attack was dominated by oppositional themes and press did not support government policy on Iraq crisis.

By analysing the data, it was found that Pakistani and British press mostly framed the coverage of Afghanistan war in a negative stance but at certain points Britsh press adopted positive or neutral stance.Anti war frame was dominnently employed by Pakistani newspapers but humanitrian and rebuilding frames were also observed.Likewise, Britsh press mostly covered Afghanistan under anti war frame but at some points pro war frame was also observed.Overall, it was noted that Pakistani press was more dominated by opposotional and critical themes than British newspapers.

ICT without any doubts has many advantages for users to utilize it as means of communication and also for teaching and learning functions. Unfortunately, ICT also has a dark side to it as adolescents from day to day are open to the elements of intimidation known as cyber bullying. This observable fact to this day in Malaysia is still in the state of infancy. Therefore, in order to investigate what cyber bullying is all about; the author has conducted a grounded theory study of cyber bullying to explore the aspects of cyber bullying phenomenon among adolescents in Malaysian context. To gather data, thirty adolescents took part in this investigative research using an in depth interviews. The author also monitored the actual incidents of cyber bullying which has taken place in a popular social network. The discussion is predominantly on the bullies or perpetrators of cyber bullying, cyber bullyin...

Most of these studies focus on international migrants with little empirical attention on intra-national migrants. Besides, most of these studies have not examined migration within the context of ethnic variables like ethnic identity. This study is examining a possible moderating effect of migration on ethnic identity as a predictor of news usage among the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Survey questionnaires were administered on 400 undergraduates in three universities in Nigeria between January and April, 2014. We use Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to measure the relationships among the variables Findings show ethnic migration having a significant moderating effect on ithe predictive power of ethnic identity on news gratifications.
