In Deborah Scranton's documentary, War Tapes, focuses on the war that happened in Iraq using the soldiers' point of view and personal war stories, as well as their families' who are all based in the United States. What started out simply as a documentary of events that transpired in Iraq has grown into a movie-like presentation of the actual events. The documentary was wrought with emotions and thus, bleeding with human-interest factors. While this type of news reporting is nothing new considering what is known as participatory reporting, the question about objectivity arises as well in that the stories ...

SCENARIO ONE

EXPERIMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE SUDDEN FLOW OF WATER IN THE TAPS AT HOME

However, the ...

The internet is very vast, universal and very hard to govern because of its decentralised nature. In its management two key issues arise. One is the digital rights management and also fair use doctrine of digital media. The former is simply a management scheme of digital data through limiting control of the data by the one holding it using a computer program. It restricts sharing through copying. This helps to limit use of the media and also increases amount of revenue generated through the media. The latter on the other hand is a doctrine about freedom of use of ...

A Hung Parliament

Before the dust had settled in the 2010 general election the general consensus was that a Conservative government was inevitable.

The markets and the media kicked at this idea because they believed it to be bad for business as they feared fall in the sterling due to the uncertainty that would come ...

In his book information and the Crisis Economy, Herbert I. Schiller contends that the current proliferation of information activities and increasing sophistication of information technology they demand are the result of efforts to control the political, economical, and cultural strains produced by a general crisis in the world market system. This is a review of chapter seven of the book ‘The prospect for democratic communication.’ Schiller opens the chapter by stating that the communication process could serve constructive motives if it could draw the attention of people to the problems they face as well ...

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 ...

The role of the united nations in ensuring that women are not marginalized:

There are multiple approaches towards ensuring that women are not marginalized in different societies. It is pertinent to note that the distribution of talent is universal. However, opportunities are not universally distributed. Organizations should create opportunities for women in poor regions and societies of the world. Religion should be progressively used to enhance the quality of humanity and never should it be an excuse for retrogressive treatment.

Tragedy had a narrower and more specific meaning in ancient Greek society compared to the modern world, where it can refer to a wide variety of circumstances. For that matter, the structure and purpose drama in the ancient world was not simply for mass entertainment like contemporary films, plays and television programs, nor was it produced by private companies in expectation of making a profit. Just the opposite, it had a distinctly religious and educational purpose, particularly in demonstrating to the audience the fate of those who offended the gods. In these ancient tragedies, the hero or protagonist had ...

In Bettig and Hall’s article “Ad Creep: The Commercialization of Culture,” the authors discuss the phenomenon of “ad creep,” which is described as “the gradual expansion of advertising into nontraditional spaces such as public playgrounds, school buses, sidewalks, and beaches” (193). In essence, as advertisements become more and more recognizable and rejected by the public, marketers and advertisers must find new ways to incorporate their advertisements into everyday life. As a result, instead of having separate avenues for delivering advertisements (like a commercial in between programmed television), they use strategies like ‘product placement,’ wherein mention is made by ...

1.According to Banerjee Debanjan, mass communication “refers to the activities of the media as a whole and fails to distinguish among specific media, modes of communication, genres of text or artifact, production or reception situations, or any question of actual communication” (Debanjan, 2010, p. 118). The process of mass communication is closely related to the media contexts.

In my opinion, there are such 7 trends that characterize modern mass media: centralization, convergence, interpersonalization, specialization, globalization, pathogenic texts, Internet based products. According to Avaya’s report, there are more 7 trends for 2013 year:

Introduction

The media may simply refer to tools of modern communication. In the past the media was less developed and communication was so limited. With the various technological advances, the media developed and made it possible for people to share social, economic and political information from different parts of the world. By so doing, it reduced the world into a global village. Brian Winston gives an explanation of how the media was born and how it developed over time to be what it is today. However, his explanation has attracted so many critics who have found that whatever he ...

How people perceive someone's sex or gender is definitely personified in many aspects of culture, from the media to subcultural traditions and rituals. Never is this a clearer case than in the Disney films, which feature heavily-marketed ‘princesses’ (e.g. Belle, Jasmine, Snow White) who are meant to personify the media messages aimed at girls. However, in 1998 the Disney animated film Mulan presented one of these ‘princesses’ in a different light; the titular character is a strong-willed, independent girl who wishes to stand up for herself and forge her own path. In this way, the portrayal of Mulan in ...

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 ...

Mass media plays a number of roles in the society which warrants its importance and existence. NGO’s and the private sector are kept in check through reports by the media on their activities so as to make sure they don’t violate the public’s well being.

Several issues arise in this article. To begin with, I have a take on the research findings, as well as how accurately it complemented what I had anticipated. Moreover, it fuelled my thoughts to query what other research could be carried out on television programming via-à-is the utility and gratifications technique, and what can be foreseen as pertains to the study (Abelman, 1987). In addition, the article raised the topic of reactionary usage of religious programming, which additionally precipitated the thought of other types of programming that most people will watch since they do not want to watch ...

Question 1

There are many ways in which technology has influenced the way we communicate as individuals. As stated in the readings, there is a unique way in which people behave when in a crowd and when they are individuals. The three poles of sociability have been affected with the use of technology. The poles of communication include crowds and people we influence or who influence us(Walsh and Gentile 34). Another pole of sociability is the non-verbal communication aspect that has been introduced into the web. The last pole is that of the way technology has played the mediation medium ...

How does society view variant sexual behaviors today?

Variant sexual behavior is a term that is usually used to refer to sexual behaviors that are deemed abnormal since most people do not practice them. Although most people view such behaviors as abnormal and unjustified, most parts of the society today have come to view and accept these behaviors. This is because individuals have remained numb to these behaviors which tend to flood the media and spread every day (Write work contributors, 1).

Consequently, if individuals in present day society were really opposed to these behaviors, they could be determined to change the worsening situation. This has not ...

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 ...

Political socialization is a development process where individuals acquire political behavior and orientation in which acceptable norms of a political system is passed on from one generation to another.

The 9/11 tragedy is one of the fiercest terrorist attacks on USA. We can call it a terrorist attack because it was planned and executed by the terrorists of Al Qaeda (CBC News, 2004). Most would not deny that 9/11 was a typical act of terrorism; some believe that it was a war in the name of religion. A group of Islamist terrorists hijacked air planes and crashed those into the twin towers of World Trade Centre and the building of Pentagon in US, killing more than 3000 people (Inside 9/11, 2005).

Introduction:

When we speak of the public sphere, we think of public opinion and this is borne out by Jurgen Habermas accordingly in his various books and scholarly articles.

An issue of great importance to me is how media and its current portrayal of teenagers affects them. Issues like alcohol consumption, drug use, bullying, teenage pregnancy, violence, gangs, etc. are frequently shown on the airwaves, and often even on programs aimed at teenagers. Frequently, it even seems to be glamorized (as in many video games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series). This leads to a perception of these behaviors as “normal” and abstaining from them, by default, “abnormal”. This leads to peer pressure and pressure from society for teenagers (and others) to partake in such activities.

People would want to be known for who they are as a person and not for what their group or race is known for. Moreover, people usually perceive themselves differently from how we perceive them. As such, stereotyping them ...
