Non-media affiliated sports blogs represent the largest contingent of sports blogs today, yet bloggers continue to face accessibility problems when it comes to coverage. Most professional sports teams employ media relations personnel who serve as gatekeepers, deciding who receives access and who does not. Such choices are often based on the abstract concept of trust, which this study focused on. The survey results from 126 professional baseball gatekeepers reinforce the fact that accessibility is most likely to restricted for bloggers, especially those not connected with a media outlet. However, this study sought to determine the differences, if any, between the levels of trust gatekeepers place in traditional news media and bloggers as well as how such disparities might impact accessibility.

The 2015–2016 refugee crisis in Germany has made its universities more aware of the student services that it must provide for all of its students, not just new refugee entrants once they overcome asylum application, credentialing, and placement hurdles to access or continue university studies. A newly published study by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has provided evidence-based findings that showcase how the country is monitoring the process of refugee access to higher education, and offers important lessons for other countries facing refugee and migrant inflows.

Security is one of the most requirements that need to be provided to achieve an integrity and authentication. In a credential content-based publish subscribe system, the authentication is hard to achieve since there exists no bonding between the end parties. Integrity, authentication and confidentiality needs to arise in published events and subscription conflicts with credential content-based event routing. To provide authentication and confidentiality in broker-less pub sub model by using the method of cryptographic Identity Based signcryption, the authentication and confidentiality of publisher and subscriber messages or events is ensured. Signcryption performs both digital signature and encryption mechanism. Here providing scalable broker-less credential content-based publish/subscribe system model to adapt an event routing between publisher and subscriber located in wide range. This approach helps in providing fast and secure subscription, fine-grained key management, effective encryption or decryption methods and routing is done in the order of subscribed attributes.
