Globalization is a contemporary phenomenon that elicits controversy in the academic and political arena.

However, the emergence of cultural globalization changes the traditional flow of information from one source to include the growth of transcontinental flows of information on a larger scale and at a faster rate.

Jane considers capitalizing on the issue of terrorism in capturing the audience. Jane does this so that the management in the local television station can identify her and her efforts. This practice is unethical since she plans to relay violent images depicting the terrorist situation. It is unethical to over emphasis on a crisis instead of reporting the issue as it is. Jane fails to consider that children might watch violent images this may harm their lives. The social implication, in the event Jane pursues this strategy, is that the local television station will be held accountable for producing harmful ...

Journalism is a profession that has its root in multi level bases of responsibilities and obligations when it comes beyond theory to actual practice. The profession of journalism provides certain degree of authority as soon as the vast field of mass media is open to be accessed. But as put very eloquently, with great power comes great responsibility. One stroke from the pen of a journalist or one click of such a camera can yield the power of ensuring justice to someone or cause nationwide panic and chaos. Few other professions have such authority and force. So, being a journalist, one should be ...

The Code of Ethics from the Society of Professional Journalists provides recommended guidelines for journalists to exercise their profession, for providing the information value to the society in which they develop their activity. Looking at the Libertarian and Authoritarian Theories of Press, the analyzed Code of Ethics is more closely related to the Libertarian Theory, having more aspects in common and more relevance for the practitioners of this theory.

The Code of Ethics from the Society of Professional Journalists serves the democracy, which recognizes the power of the people. Hence, this principle is related to the Libertarian theory and ...

The sociological viewpoint of social problem sees it as conditions that influence the quality of life of a considerable population, or aspects that deprive the society of its cherished values. According to this view, the government of the existing authority can influence the outcome of the social problems by limiting the chances of the society to fall in these problems (Sternheimer, 2013). On the other hand, popular culture tends to have numerous definitions for social problems. Some of the views include social problems results from cultural aspects such as bullying would influence crime rate, or poverty results from poor governance. ...

According to the article, the media participated a great deal in the downfall of President Nixon. This is because of the media reports that were released to the public about the ills of President Nixon that in the end made him to be very unpopular with the citizens. Any of President Nixon's mistakes was aired and publicly condemned by the media that finally led to his resignation.

Generation X

Generation X comprises individuals born between the years 1965 and 1980. This generation essentially marks a period of rapid decline of births and the baby boom that characterized the 1950’s and the 1960’s. Consequently, members of this generation are significantly lower than those of other generations. Most of the individuals in this generation are currently in their 30’s and some in their early 40’s.

Communication, whether verbal or written, is an important tool in any affiliation. The relationship existing between people, dictates the conversations they have; for example, two friends are likely to have a casual conversation, while an employer and an employee are most likely to have a formal conversation. Formal conversations are deemed serious since they do not give a room for jokes. Casual conversations, in contrast, create a friendly environment in which jokes and colloquial language are applicable. When narrowed down to an industry, the conversations held by those involved differ according to their relationships. A blogger, for example, may use casual language to ...

It is indeed true that the larger the sample size the more reliable the results. This is because the large size will increase the accuracy of the given research as most of the target population will be taken into consideration. The small sample size will imply very few individuals are considered thereby leading to biasness. The larger the sample sizes the higher the statistical power or accuracy. For instance when checking on the number of fish that have infection in a given pond, the more the fish you pick to study the more you might get a precise answer. The challenge ...

I.2 The cultivation analysis theory was developed by George Gerbener. This is a social theory that aims at the examination of long-term effects of television. According to Gerbener this theory is based on proposition that states that the more the time people spend on a television the more they are likely to be carried along to believe in the social message being portrayed in the television. Cultivation exposes people to misconception of the unreality in the world.

There are several elements that make this theory outstanding and reliable for significance in the media world. One of the elements that make it ...

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 ...

The media has a great responsibility in educating the public on what is the social cultural scene in his country is really like. But in reality, the reporters resort to taking up stereotypical point of view, because most of them work for great conglomerates and are under pressure to write positively about the rich and sparingly and negatively about disadvantaged, such as the poor and the blacks. Rather than shifting the blame on poor public taste, the media should use its ability to reach out to the people in a responsible way. Kendall, in her book title, "Framing Class, ...

After 9/11, security grants were increased for airports and airport security measures were upgraded and intensified. On the other hand, no major security attack has happened on surface transport but vulnerability exists that is higher than airports’ vulnerability. It is important that the government implements systems and policies that reduce the vulnerability of surface transport and secures the American population (The National Academies Press, 1999).

I agree with Student # 2 that all transport systems have some level of vulnerability, but the type of vulnerability differs depending on the means of transport. Due to the differences, it important to prioritize ...

- How would you define the concept of journalistic objectivity?

Journalistic objectivity is a concept of fairness. It is about seeing all facts – truths – and communicating all those facts to an audience without injecting your own thoughts to it. It is an unbiased, clinical, and professional presentation of information to an audience.

Using that example, I would like to define journalistic objectivity as the ability to sift through all available information and determining the truths, whether one agrees with it or not.

- Is it possible to be an objective journalist? What things may get in the way of objectivity? What things could journalists do to maintain objectivity?

I think that being an objective journalist is hard, but it is also possible. It is hard because as thinking social beings, humans are bound to ...

The song, ‘Scream’, which Michael Jackson performed, featuring his sister, Janet, plays on the idea of someone being so bored or frustrated that they want to scream. The video carries this idea on by showing the two in a futuristic setting which draws on dystopian traditions to explain the pair’s boredom. The song itself mirrors the visual presentation of the accompanying video through its use of electronically-altered screams and shouting. The song and its video reflect Michael Jackson’s persona through its relation to teenage and childish boredom where children are literally so bored that they scream and ...

The Productivity Paradox

We live today in an age of paradoxes. It is the presence of paradoxes that tell us all is going, as they should be. No paradoxes will signify a world either where everything in the past, present or future is known or where people have become fed up of asking questions. As Charles Handy says, “Paradoxes, I now see to be endemic, inevitable and perpetual. The more turbulent the times, the more complex the world, the more paradoxes there are” (1994)

The term “productivity paradox’ was first used by Eric  Brynjolfsson who pointed out the non-conformity between ...

The Renaissance was a time, as the name suggests, of rebirth and renewal in Europe; a time that led society into a new modern age. Inventions shaped society and brought it closer to what people would recognize today; and philosophical and religious enlightenment moved civilizations out of the dark ages and towards a deeper understanding of humanity. This essay will analyze the importance of these two features of the Renaissance as a portal to the modern age.

New inventions during the Renaissance still play a part in the modern age today, from everyday necessities such as the toilet to technological innovations like the microscope (“ ...

1. How does the public see the nursing profession and nurses?

In the public's eye, it seems as though nurses are invisible, seeing the job as a supplementary and unskilled profession that does more wrong than right. The authors detail a 'problem narrative' that takes place in the media, one wherein the problems of nurse shortage, staff rations and problems with patients are the norm rather than the exception when it comes to learning about nurses. "This 'problem' narrative is not balanced in the media by a 'practice' narrative that would help the public understand what it ...

Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg

Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg are both psychoanalysts and professors of psychiatry. With their theories, they have greatly influenced the past and current psychoanalytic believes.

They both deal with persons with narcissistic, borderline, and psychotic psychopathology. Despite their concern and same interests in fighting these abnormalities, their perspective regarding causes, psychic arrangements, and treatment of these abnormalities is different. From the general outlook Kohut is described as a self-theorist who essentially emerged from Sigmund’s Freud conjectural ...

Victims of Violence

Photographs portray deeper messages than written stories hence have over time become the major methods journalists use to ensure their stories stick. Pulitzer Prizes are given to journalists who have the most gruesome photographs. Readers ethically get repulsed by such images despite the fact that they really want to know what happened. The immediate impact of these photos is that they spark emotional response. Photos have a greater impact in the transmission of the message than written words (Godwin 1983). Many people who are not addicted to reading or rather can’t read at all at least peruse the ...

In his session at Ted Talks, Eli Pariser discusses the way the internet is filtering information for us. The data that reaches us is not in our control.

The internet is focusing an individual’s direction according to its own interpretations about our likes and dislikes. This raises questions about the ethics guidelines followed by those regulating the web. Eli Pariser talks about internet ...

Introduction

The world of journalism is a very questionable, and yet rewarding one. Those who are willing to take the risk to become journalistic greats will conversely be compensated with the respect, and admiration of their peers. However, the question often comes up about journalism, and that is, is journalism worth ruining someone else’s life for or is it worth keeping quiet about something you’ve always known about someone or someone’s establishment just to spare them, and their place of business? Journalism is one of those fields of work where some people throw their moral compass out the ...

Sports and media have always had a direct link between them. In the modern context, it is even argued sports and media cannot exist without one another. Sport can be defined as a “repeatable, regulated physical contest producing a clear winner”. The evolution of the media has had a direct impact on sport. Currently, the media chooses, analyzes, interprets and finally represents sporting events mainly to attract audiences. Sports in the media have increased dramatically, and some media firms have even abandoned other communication roles to focus primarily on sports. The content and style of sports programs are designed to entertain the audience. ...

The First Amendment is perhaps the most well-known among Americans. It guarantees us all the right to free speech. It also guarantees that nobody, state official or otherwise, will stand in the way of our freedom of press, as stated by Thomas J.

History at its core is an argument over what truly happened through the course of the human story and why it happened. Because the human lifespan is so short, the argument frequently occurs over the analysis of documents left behind. In a period of heated contention, these documents offer contrasting views that, when combined, could lead to the truth. The Reconstruction Era in the United States is one of the those intense times. The period leading up to Reconstruction saw a range of political documentation and analysis, such as firsthand accounts and complex, questioning analyses. In the article “A Press ...

Personal Statement – Broadcast News Program

Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by broadcast news. As a child, I would sit down with my parents every night at dinner and watch the people in the “box” cover everything going on the world. While I knew I didn’t understand much of it at the time, I felt like I was witnessing something important, and learning about what was going on in the world. As I got older, I learned more about what it meant to be a broadcast journalist, and began to understand the hard work and dedication that goes into making a piece of ...

Historical memory can be well understood as a collection of information representing the past, which is shared by a specific group of people or community. People have a tendency of communicating about collective and historical memory by relying on the individual memory.

The collaboration between journalist Alex Haley and Malcolm X led to the publication Malcolm X’s autobiography in 1965. The autobiography was co-authored by Alex Haley basing on a ...
