Every American and most cable news watcher from around the world watched in shock and possible awe as the NATO missiles destroyed the old city of Baghdad. The regime of Saddam Hussein ended thanks to the American invasion in what was the alleged pursuit of Al Qaeda and the terrorist remnants. The missing link to this event was an independent role of the media and the subsequent pivotal role of the fourth estate in ensuring that whole account of war was independent. The much cherished liberal media in the western world lacked the precise corner stone that was supposed ...

DO WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF MEDIA INFOTAINMENT AND MELODRAMATIC REPORTAGE?

Introduction
For the past 4 decades, the role of the media has been in the process of transforming. Traditionally, the role of the media has been purely on performing an informative role concerning various events taking place across the globe. This phenomena is commonly known as the provision of hard news where the reporter presents the facts to the viewers they way they occurred. However, this is no longer the case, as the media is increasingly indulging in the provision of information as well as entertaining the society. The media houses have been shifting from the traditional methods of ...

Executive Summary

Euronews can be considered as one of the most experimental news channels in Europe. As its new motto (‘going global’) suggests, it seeks to step into international broadcasting and reach out to a global audience. Euronews aims towards achieving a transnational perspective on news; it does not focus on European stories only. The channel has adopted a policy to transform itself into a public diplomacy tool. For this reason Euronews has taken on a strategy to practice public diplomacy by taking up non-European languages as means for targeting non- European audiences. The rationale behind changing the structure of Euronews ...

The media has a number of roles and responsibilities, one including informing the general public of the current and ongoing affairs and acting as a mirror to the society. In its efforts to share information with the public, the media sometimes goes too far beyond the boundaries of its source of information leading to exposure of secretive, personal and private details that were never intended to be exposed. These actions of the media come with effects, both positive and negative but most certainly, more of the negative effects. It has been often known that the targets of the media ...

Conceivably, the most important roles that the media plays is reporting and informing the public. As such, media forms an integral part of the contemporary society with news coming from all corners of the world. However, a big question presents itself. Do media present the news accurately? Freedom of expression is a fundamental right contained in almost all constitutions and thus giving the media the freedom and the mandate to report without fear of victimization .However, it cannot be disputed that the media has of late overstepped its mandate or abused this fundamental right. With the current global trend ...

It is hard to argue that media play an important role in the modern society and in life of every individual. Essentially, they are an irreplaceable part of it. Most of the people always watch and read news every day, a habit that strengthened with emergence of the Internet, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and social media altogether. Media practically became hands-on, available when, where and how you want it – on T.V., in a paper or electronic magazine or newspaper, or on Facebook.

For a very long time, in the history of the naval Special Warfare Community, information on their services and operations has always remained a secret to only them and no one else apart from the authority. Leaders and SEALS have always sought to keep a low profile and stay under the radar as this is what is expected of them while in and out of service.

In Chapter 4, Freedman has shown us the different ways of writing a story. Among the various methods given, the most important one is learning how to manipulate the timeline.

Indeed, manipulating the timeline could be regarded as the most effective way of making little but valuable alterations in the storyline. This method could even lead one to discovering the best version of the story. One ...

There is nothing called objective viewpoint. Media which plays a big role in giving information on the world often is accused of showing bias towards a particular ideology or a particular social group or a particular party. Though a journalist tries to be objective in his viewpoint by following two methods, 1) showing fairness to those associated with the news and 2) a professional approach to gathering information that seeks completeness, accuracy and fairness, he often fails to reach the ethical heights just like anyone involved in the profession of politics (The Rhetorica Network). Since reporting of news is ...

Composition 201
Gaining New Ideas from “Working the Fringes”
According to Brent Cunningham in his article, "Working the Fringes," "working the fringes isn't about advocacy but ideas" (Cunningham 2). Cunningham argues further that "working the fringes" or covering stories which are not primarily the focus of mainstream media helps to generate new ideas in response to dealing the various problems which are posed in the twenty-first century. Although this might be true to an extent, I wonder whether or not "working the fringes" will be effective in gaining the attention of a mainstream audience and ...

William Faulkner once said that “the human heart in conflict with itself” is the only subject that is truly worth writing about. There are many authors who have applied this advice to their characters throughout literature. From the complicated Nineteen Eighty-Four’s Winston Smith to the simplistic Sam I Am’s Sam, there are too many characters to name who spend the pages of their novel feeling in conflict with their own hearts. Two more examples of such characters are Bernard Marx, from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Louise from Kate Chopin’s The Story of an ...

Life can be difficult in many of its stages. It seems though, that across the board, in both fiction and non-fiction, it is this time of coming of age that everything seems to take on an increased level of intensity. This is probably because many new things are not only being experienced at once, but they are all being experienced for the first time. Warrant Glen, by William Wallis, is an account of friendship during high school, in a school setting where there is violence happening within one’s surroundings, and also on the national stage. The novel’s ...

When looking at the pattern of actions and business approaches that define a company’s strategy it is clear that some do not apply to social media sites such as Facebook. One of these sectors are the actions to gain sales and market share with lower prices based on lower costs because there are not many ways a social media site can see substantial savings by lower costs.
Actions to enter new product or geographic markets or to exit existing ones is an approach that Facebook is poising itself to take advantage of with its new Trending option. By ...

Media can be described as any technology that allows people to communicate with each other . Media not only claims to recognize truth but also declares to present it to the audience.

It is also regarded as the “Fourth Estate” next to the Church, the judicial system, and the Parliament.
Media is extensively followed by the general public as people consider its information reliable. As far as foreign affairs are concerned, media is the sole ...

Many people do not trust what they read or hear in the media. For example, in a survey conducted in 2012 in the United States by Gallup, people were asked, "to what extent they believe" exactly in unbiased and comprehensive coverage of the facts in the news appearing in the media, on television and radio. Every 6 out of 10 people responded, "Not very confident" or "not sure." Is this distrust justified?

‘Antigone’ by Sophocles:
Analyzing the importance of Teiresias in Greek tragedy
Greek Literature speaks of ‘Antigone’ as the tragic play, which was written by Sophocles during 441 B.C. Some of the literary experts are of the view that the original manuscript belonged to years much before 441 B.C.; however, the lack of evidence certifying the earlier dates suggest the former as the age of this storyline (Leach).
This play is an important asset that World Literature preserves with care, and serves as the source for many important inferences that can be drawn from each event that takes place in ...

The media is the most common tool for news and information dissemination to the public.

The freedom of expression and information have for long be heralded as two of the most fundamental rights, and the media is one of the forms through which these rights are manifested. However, the government regulates the content that the media sends out to the public and by doing this, it partly infringes on freedom to information, as well as the ...

Aims and Aspirations

My dream is to be a news reporter. But news reporting changes every day. For example, being a news reporter today is not the same as being a news reporter during World War 2. Many aspects related to news reporting have changed in a number of ways, including the tools and channels for reporting (such as the use of social media), news content, what the audience want and information sources, among others. Therefore, as an aspiring news reporter, I should know these things (including how news reporting is today and how it is likely to change in the future) ...

The tendency of different media sources to cover the same story differently or with bias is common in the modern days. Obviously, this happens because of many reasons that operate in the background of each media station or forces behind influential individuals in various media. Of course, all the biases in the media attest to the popular notion that the media is not neutral. This is something that we can all agree. Noticing that claims must be backed up with facts, a close analysis and comparison of the coverage of president Obama’s speech on ISIS across the guardian ...

The media is everywhere today. It is the primary news source, as well as the primary way we are shown the new and latest items on the market.

Political unrest all over the world is often reported in a biased manner at the news station’s discretion. Other news reports are often altered or tailored based on the station’s sponsors. Meanwhile many advertisements run in between these new ...

The social media has changed the conditions for the journalists. The journalists are followed by many people through the social media tools. Thus, the arena where the journalists work on is a global arena. The journalist before the social media era was local or national professionals. However, the social media has made them global journalists. Therefore, the journalists should take this into consideration while developing their career. There is a huge difference between writing locally and globally. It is the difference between giving speech to 100 thousand people in a city and giving speech to 6 billion people ...

Mass media has the power to let people focus on public attention about some issues, and a well-documented influence.

This paper explores the roles of groups and group thinking. It includes subject areas such as groups in school as well as groups outside of school that have the ‘mob mentality’ approach to subjects. An example of this kind of mob would be the Occupy Wall Street movement, or sports team fans.
Groups are a commonplace event amongst societies. It is especially apparent in a school setting where people work on projects together. An experience where I encountered a negative group member was a member in one of my school groups who didn’t want ...

The freedom of expression is an established right in democratic societies. The freedom includes the right to disseminate one’s thoughts or opinions through any form and using any media. Attached to this freedom is the right to receive information disseminated by others. This may be for the purposes of participating in democratic processes or for self-fulfillment. Thus in order for freedom of expression to be effective, one also has to promote the exchange of information. The press forms one of the most valuable institutions in the exchange of information at both national and international levels especially where the ...

If you were to tell your great grandmother or great grandfather that journalism is in a present-day crisis, they would probably tell you that that’s an absurd idea. But the truth is that with the onset of technology (smart mobile phones, television sets, and the internet), our connection to forms of media is almost daily and much of the news information we receive is via video message not by physical text. Therefore, I argue that journalism is in crisis for three reasons: the advent of the internet has resulted in so much readily available news from different mediums ...
