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.

The information about policies that the public needs to know should be truthful and free of bias as much as possible as these information shape public opinion and even electoral decision.

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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.

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.

Why are newspapers not important in the 21st century?

Newspapers are the only source of information for all classes of people in our
Society. As we know newspapers first appeared in Europe in the 17th century they had an
evolution slowly and gradually from a similar type of publication to a single sheet of
paper that would respond to events which were unusual. Although newspapers currently
and those in the past were similar in many ways, newspapers and their content have
changed over time. The decline of sales in newspapers has been widely due to
ever increasing newsprint prices, decreasing advertisements sales, the loss of putting classified
advertising Continue reading...

Writing a Story and The Four News Models

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. Simply changing or moving a couple of shots or sound bites and/or just adding an element can quickly put a new spin on a story. 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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

Introduction

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

- Zinser points out several positive and negative aspects of what he calls “fake news shows”. He closely examines “The Dailey Show”, he points out that these types of shows are harmful because they often report fake news that is not verified or had sources checked.

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

Question 1: Is technology the job killer of the 21st century?
Increased intelligent machinery, automation, and a reliance on web-based services has caused a reduction in several types of jobs, but it has also created millions of jobs only not for the people who initially lost them. In this regard, technology cannot be considered as a job killer but rather as the price people have to pay for progress. This is evident in the fact that technological breakthroughs have led to the creation of more affordable goods, better medical care, and improved transport and communication systems which have made Continue reading...
