What is Wrong With Media? - Presentation Transcript

  1. What’s Wrong With Media Pramit Singh Founder, Bighow.com World’s Best Tool For Online Journalism
  2. The Monopolies
    • With all the mass media concentrated in a few hands, the ancient faith in the competition of ideas in the free market seems like a hollow echo of a much simpler day.
    • - Kingman Brewster, Jr.
  3. The Media-industrial Complex
    • The bigger the information media, the less courage and freedom they allow. Bigness means weakness.
    • Eric Sevareid,
    • " The Press and the People ," TV program, 1959
  4. Misusing the power
    • You can crush a man with journalism.
    • - William Randolph Hearst
  5. The Goodwill is lost
    • Media is a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
    • - Graham Henry Greene
  6. Media is always right
    • A newspaper, as I'm sure you know, is a collection of supposedly true stories written down by writers who either saw them happen or talked to people who did.
    • These writers are called journalists, and like telephone operators, butchers, ballerinas, and people who clean up after horses, journalists can sometimes make mistakes.
    • - Lemony Snickett
  7. There is no pause button
    • Television has a real problem. They have no page two. Consequently every big story gets the same play and comes across to the viewer as a really big, scary one.
    • - Art Buchwald, 1969
  8. There is no duty
    • The idea that media is there to educate us, or to inform us, is ridiculous because that's about tenth or eleventh on their list.
    • - Abbie Hoffman
  9. The self-importance
    • Most rock journalism is people who can not write interviewing people who can not talk.
    • - Frank Zappa
  10. Self – Importance: the sequel
    • Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.
    • - Frank Zappa
  11. It just doesn't stop
    • What's the difference between a 3-week-old puppy and a sportswriter? In 6 weeks, the puppy will stop whining.
    • - Mike Ditka
  12. If there is no news, create news
    • Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.
    • - G.K. Chesterton
  13. It is mostly noise
    • There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated , it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
    • - Oscar Wilde
