Facilitating The Media ( Secondary Idea )

In today's society there's a new update on how journalism is delivered and written. Through the power of the cyber world new context is being uploaded and videos are being uploaded to video websites such as YouTube. Three authors express their thoughts about this modern-day problem in a traditional way, via textbook. They discuss how social media websites deliver messages that are not very accurate and informative. These messages usually target certain groups to create a community of its own.

The mass media has become a big part of our society and its counterparts. In a time span of 50 years this medium has influenced society to an extent where it has created wonders. This immaculate tool can control almost every action we perform, from speaking to the actions that every human being performs in society. The mass media has brought upon a new era of idea's and changes in the world we live in. As we analysis media in depth we will find many aspects of media which overlap and some of the smallest factors and aspects of media, which create the biggest impact on society.

The media plays a massive role in the construction of crime, this includes the reporting of crime, the sensationalisation of stories, over-representation of different social groups and age of offenders. Construction of crime is also through stereotyping both ethnicity and gender. It is sometimes argued that the media is an ideological tool that is used to distort reality from its viewers. Female killers are often considered as ‘oxymoronic’, as they are seen as contradictory. Females are generally seen as caring beings but once they commit violent crimes, they are judged based individual circumstances and it is not taken into consideration that they could just as violent as male offenders in their own right. In this essay, I will be focusing on the gender stereotypes in media, specifically focusing on female killers.

People in the lower class are often portrayed as pitiful, unworthy, lazy people who aren’t good for anything. That is according to what the media shows us daily. Blue collar work is viewed as “real” work (Linkon). The lower, working class takes pride in what they do because they accomplish something that takes effort and skill. The working class requires effort and strength. There are good lower class citizens who work for the benefit of their communities. The working class is unfortunately being brought down by the more “fortunate” higher-middle class and rich people. Basically, there is a bias in the representations of society (Ginsburgh). In a Levi’s - Go Work commercial, the lower class are positively portrayed as hard

Most everyone has some form of social media. Whether it be Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram people have a way of communicating and getting news from all around the world. Unfortunately, this news is not always correct or trustworthy. Many people are not attuned to reading long articles or papers and just want the short story. Social media readily gives them shortened and condensed stories one after the other. Therefore, “traditional media has to adapt to the audience’s new

In Chapters 8-10 and the conclusion of Mediated Political Realities by Dan Nimmo and James E. Combs, the authors talks about various topics, concepts, ideas and so on. The authors talks about social character. Social character according to the authors are develop through social standards in regards to tradition. Direct Tradition is traditions that is mediated through realities. Social character can relate to a political part through style. The authors talks about pack journalists and how they effect the media. Also, pack journalist are not just limited to political races. Soothsaying Journalists has an order with leaders and they get different cues. Media consultants play a role in the presidential race by designing the candidate’s media page

It is difficult to criticize those in community media regarding how they chose to interact with the public. It is a field with low staffing and tremendous workloads. Yet as Lowrey, Brozana, and Mackay (2008) suggest the potential exists for journalists who fail to interact online to miss an opportunity to foster an engaged audience. They also might relinquish their potential to guide the conversation through the manipulation that networked gatekeepers can use (Barzilai-Nahon, 2005). In addition, Webizens offer a potential group of sources to journalists facing an increasingly high demand for content. This dissertation supports previous research that shows journalists seeking to connect with an online community must willingly interact with the public (Meyer & Carey, 2014). There is a need for journalists through their interactions

The relationship between the media and politics has been going on for a long time. According to Paul Starr's article `Political Networking' the relationship began

This research has been conducted due to the fact that some researchers have claimed that “journalism is dying” whilst others have argued that “journalism is not dying but is simply evolving” (Blatchford: 2014). This has been a much contested debate triggered by the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources i.e. newspapers, television and radio together with the technological advances of the internet and social media (Cub Reporters: 2010). This has raised many questions and firstly, this dissertation will assess whether the rise of social media has led to the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources. Secondly, this paper will look at what the advantages and disadvantages of using social media as a news distributor are for professional journalists and the general public. Lastly, this study aims to investigate

Media plays a big role in society these days. Whether it be letting society know what is going on the in the world today or something as simple as updates on current life on social media. The media's role in society not only delivers information of the world but also brings people together through common interests or general talks. In Brian Knappenberger's documentary: Nobody Speak: Trials of Free Press it is seen how media effect lives and how there is a much stronger meaning to what media stands for in society and why media needs to take its stand when it comes to people who want to devour them.

As I will discuss more later in this chapter, this study is designed as a qualitative study conducted under constructivism paradigm. This paradigm was taken because the assumptions in the study on the use of social media by journalists are seen with the standpoint of the technology as part of a cultural practice, constructed in the society. In accordance with this paradigm, this study sought to uncover how the Indonesian journalists, especially those who work in online media, construct the meaning of the social media existence in their work and the use of social media contents as news materials. The construction revealed in this study is expected to answer the enquiry about the actual implementation of curation journalism in Indonesia, which makes it differ from the practice in other mass media in the world.

This study is taking a quantitative approach contain analysis and for that selecting three representative newspapers and journalists in the Saudi Arabia, which are Al Riyadh, Sabq, Asharq Al‑Awsat and Twitter accounts of three journalists on Twitter to collect the required data. Moreover, this method is more suitable because it is creating an observation on the news posted by the newspapers that we have selected. Furthermore, it is important to note down that how journalists are publishing the breaking news or retweet the breaking news from newspapers or other journalists. From a review of previous research shows that many of the researchers relied on the content analysis because it gives accurate results through observation and monitoring of the variables that are used in the research questions. Content analysis will be used instead of a survey, longitudinal analysis, or a secondary analysis because it is difficult to get accurate results from of previous research. Additionally, Saudi Arabia is a new area in new media and there is not much of the previous research in this area about the new media in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire may be suitable for this study, but perhaps does not respond to the questionnaire will be the right way, because most of the people do not consider survey as an important thing and they do not answer it clearly. So, as I pointed out earlier content analysis is the best for this study.

To wholly have a grasp on how this new founded approach to journalism has changed alongside technology—as well as understanding the dangers such openness brings forth—one has to understand what exactly those changes are. Primarily, those that are writing for the sake of offering information have, whether willingly or not, fed into the usage of social media as it has become a centralized method of distribution that is relatively inescapable with the current times. As such those framing the news for the masses find an authentic avenue to stay in contact via social media that has benefits ranging from, “its extraordinary newsgathering potential; its potential as a new tool to engage the audience; and as a way of distributing our news” (Eltringham, 2012), all of which are deeply different from the presentation of reporting that occurred during earlier eras. Days of strongly structured instances of journalism that could not travel with such speed have been replaced as, “social media has trashed many of the foundations on

Media is everywhere around the world, it surrounds us even when sometimes we don’t even notice it. It can appear from newspapers to news, or as well physically and throughout electronic devices such as cell phones. We consider it as a tool to make time fly ahead or to spectate what is going on with other people’s lives. However, we may encounter certain factors that may not appeal to us. We may see postings or news about tragic events that happen around the world and surprisingly, sometimes we don’t even bother to care, due to the fact that it wasn’t us in that situation. There are a great number of aspects to be resolved for this world to be free from issues, but a question that comes to mind is, “What if it never

It can change opinions because they have access to people and this gives it a lot of strength. This strength can either be used constructively by educating the people or it can be used destructively by misleading the innocent people. Power of the media can transform the whole society especially in the developing countries it can be used as a 'weapon of mass destruction'. But I think the most important use of media is to educate the people about the basic human rights. The dilemma of the developing countries is that people are not fully aware of their basic rights and if they know, they don't know about what to do and where to go. They don't know their collective strength. Even they don't know how to protest and what is the importance of
