Borschel, A. (2012) Sleuthing the truth in the media. Washington: IBJ Book Publishing.

In “Sleuthing the truth in the media”, the author Audrey Borschel questions the truthfulness of media and of the messages that it sends. Borschel argues that in the current world, when the thirst of information is so high and people are dependent on interesting, engaging and sometimes scandalous news, journalists tend to deliver precisely these assets, while transforming the truth into what people want. Nevertheless, this comes with a cost: the cost of the accuracy of the news and the cost of the integrity of the journalists. Various media contents are being analyzed in order for their messages to ...

In the book, Skloot reveals about the unethical manner in which doctors at the John Hopkins hospital profiteered from cells of one its patients without her consent and that of her family. Further to that, some of the media houses were running family pictures without consulting the family.
Rebecca Skloot’s book unearthed the lack of professionalism in the way in which the researchers handed Henrietta Lacks cells, and earned the author much fame. However, one question ...

The 20th century has brought a lot of changes all aspects of contemporary social life and it specifically changed the mass media environment within the United States.

News is an important component of human life, getting information is among the rights that are enjoyed by the people. However, rarely do people think about the sources of the news, about those people who go out to gather, and process the news so that they can be disseminated to the public. The journalist who is the core of any story is always not regarded as much as the news reporters are despite the fact that they are the one who go to the ground to gather the news. The public expects news about any occurrences around the world ...

Sensationalism

This media strategy is employed by mass media through editorial bias. The topics and events in the news stories are often overhyped with the intention of increasing readership and viewership numbers (Dye, 132). As a media strategy, sensationalism includes reporting on matters that are generally insignificant. Events that do not have any impact in the society are also discussed. In doing this, the journalists offer a biased perspective, presenting the news in a tabloid or trivial manner to get the attention of other people. In most cases, this is against the standards that guide professional journalism. In practice, this has happened in ...

- The two different motivational theories that McDonald’s can use is expectancy theory and goal-setting theories.

Maximal Strength Assessment (1-RM)

The maximal strength assessment or one repetition maximum (1-RM) test is a popular technique for assessing muscular strength among athletes. It is still considered the “gold standard” that is used by coaches to test their athlete’s work capacity. The 1-RM test usually consists of compound exercises such as the bench press, back squat, military press, and dead lift and executing them with one’s maximum weight capacity for 1 repetition (Beachle & Earle, 2008). These compound exercises incorporate and utilize many large muscle groups of the upper and lower body. The test would assess and measure an athlete’s aerobic ...

In the past, the issue of political freedom of the press has been a contentious matter that perturbed many people. On one side, people praised the press for the country’s success in the political administration while, on the other, the press receives a backlash due to spreading information that can jeopardize the security in the county.
Brader (2006) argue that strict laws and state coercion hobble the media due to improper use of the media. For example, people use the media as proxies in the political rival groups. This process shows divisiveness instead of consensus building and hate speech, ...

Abstract

In our increasingly dependent age, older technologies are slowly but surely being phased out. We stand to forget their use, their evolution as well as their contribution to our own evolution as mankind. One such technology is the printing press. To move forward, we must pause to reflect on the past, appreciate it and ultimately learn from it. The printing press has evolved from a simple, rudimentary letter press in China to the revolutionary Gutenberg’s press that made the Bible the most published book of that time to the modern technology of offset lithography. It has played a fundamental role ...

There is a direct link between integrity in journalism and media ownership. These have both gone down steadily since the 24-hour cycle advent of the 1980s. There has been an adjustment in reporting to suite each generation’s needs. In the millennial’ case, there has been a preference of the social media news to TV reporting . Generally, TV has become antiquated to some extent, trailing behind more radical formats which invoke picture messages and hash tags.
There are a number of advantages to competitive media scenery. More independent outlets in the community have led to a wide variety of viewpoints presented in ...

Abstract

In advertising throughout the past few centuries, women have placed in one of several limiting roles. One is the extremely thin fashion model, a sex symbol for the typical man whose main role is to be pretty and attract men. The other is the domestic partner, the woman who takes care of the house to the exclusion of all personal desires and responsibilities. There is also the incompetent, the dullard; the weak-willed woman who simply cannot handle the limited and finite duties that are burdened upon her. In this paper, the effects of negative advertising on women will be explored, ...

1. Discuss how aquamarine forms and explain the chemical composition (elements)

Aquamarine gemstones are members of the prominent beryl group of minerals. Beryl crystals are among the valued gems that occur naturally. Aquamarine and beryl in general, is composed of atoms of beryllium, aluminium, silicon, and oxygen. The chemical formula for beryl is Be3Al2SiO6 (Scheper 12). Aboriginal rocks facilitate the growth conditions for aquamarine formation. As the plutonic plate condensed, minerals were crystallized to create gemstones like aquamarine. The dimension of the crystal is proportionate to the cooling rate. Large crystals are created when the pace of cooling is extremely slow. In addition, Aquamarine is found in naturally occurring geological ...

This novel deals with the series of puzzling disappearances and murders of black youth in Atlanta in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was published posthumously after being edited by Toni Morrison.

Because it centers on one city and one family, and real events and deals with a sensitive series of racial crimes, it has tended to be read as part of the African American tradition of fiction.

Conclusion and Summary of Results

The focus of this study was to explore a Black woman’s resiliency after her exposure to a physiological and psychological toxic work environment. The work environment surrounding an African-American woman can often be a source of distress because of the way her colleagues and others treat her. For example, many Black women are treated as if they are a stereotype; a caricature of what people assume is a “black woman.” Micro-aggressions experienced each day become magnified as emotional assaults on the woman increase; or, as her ability to deflect the inappropriate behavior decreases or as the intensity of both becomes greater. The stereotyping and ...
