Mass Media In The Media
Mass media is a large part of what the population consumes and identifies with; the fact that so
much of life is influenced by the media is unhealthy especially considering how some of its
messages are inherently sinister, and reach a worldwide audience. It has the ability to progress or
devolve a society of people with the imagery it chooses to display. In the documentary, 'Miss
Representation' by Siebel Newsom, the point is raised "The media is selling young people the idea
that girls' and women's value lies in their youth, beauty, and sexuality and not in their capacity as
leaders. Boys learn that their success is tied to dominance, power, and aggression. We must value
people as whole human beings, not gendered stereotypes" (2011, Siebel Newsom). Infantilization,
hypersexualization and dehumanization/objectification of women are epidemics that spread
throughout the media to a point where it is rare, and jarring, to see a woman represented without
those things. To contrast, men are often portrayed as powerful and/or of a high status. They are
allowed to age and given permission to be given genuinely human traits and characteristics. This
can severely impact the mindsets and behaviours of the individuals who consume these images.
When young women and girls are subjected to these images hundreds of times a day for years, side
effects include low self–esteem, eating disorders, and self–objectification.

The Importance Of Mass Media Bias In The Media
1. Introduction
Having control over an entire country's population's opinion is a powerful thing to have. Possessing
that control would allow you to direct how the population spends their money or even who they like
and dislike in politics. The mainstream media news outlets have this control and are expected to
give us information that is unbiased, fair, and not meant to sway our opinion. The topic I will be
exploring is bias in the mainstream news media and how it affects their viewers. This is an
important topic in the field of communication because it has such a great impact on any country that
uses mass media to disseminate information. The information can be given to the viewers with a
certain twist to intentionally shape their view of an event, or it can be unintentionally bias just by
the tone and manner they are reporting on the event. I am going to research how mass media news
outlets influence the viewers opinion, and what goes into picking the news stories covered. These
are controversial topics to get into, but important to consider. They can have a very big impact on
things like elections for a political office, support or dislike of a certain group, or can sway your
opinion of who is the hero in a certain story. My sources will need to show specific examples of
how the media is biased towards one opinion, what the effects are from this, and who makes the
determination of the bias that is being displayed.

Mass media refers to the many ways that information reaches a large group of people. Sociologists

Importance of Mass Media in Society
Mass media is important in society because it reflects the lives, roles, and interests of the people.
The media creates the culture and these messages promote not only products, but moods, attitudes,
and a sense of what is and what is not important. People rely on mass media in their everyday lives
for personal, business, family, and leisurely use (CliffNotes). Mass media sets a standard for what
our society should value as a whole. In addition, without mass media we would be left uninformed
and less socially connected as a country.

Mass Media And Social Media
The Evolution of Media in Presidential Campaigns
The effects of mass media and social media have changed the way people have experienced
presidential campaigns in many ways. With the development of new technologies through the last
hundred years many different ways of experiencing the campaigns have taken place. Newspapers,
radio, television, internet and social media websites have changed the ways we all have experienced
elections. Between 1960 and today, there have been many milestones in mass media and the way it
has been presented to us. In the 1960's television sets were becoming very popular in many
households across America. The first televised presidential debate took place on September 26,
1960. "1963: Polls show more Americans report that they rely on television rather than newspapers
as their primary source for news." ("1963: Polls show..." PBS, n.d.) With the television becoming
the new medium for people to gain information, this was a major milestone in how information was
gathered and perceived. Also in the 1960's the first stages of development of the internet began.
Early computers were also being produced. This had set the stage for upcoming years in technology
that would affect the experience of presidential elections by all. In the 1970's many more
transformations were happening in media. The development of the internet was still underway and
won't become readily available until the 90's to the general public. Public access television was

Media And Mass Media Deviance
Media is the most effective method of mass communication. There are many different sources of
mass media; broadcast, advertising, digital, hypermedia, interactive, multimedia, new media, news
media, print media, published media, recorded media and social media(Dictionary.com 2017).
Considering all the different forms media can take, it isn't all too shocking that media has had an
influence on deviant behaviors. The media's influence though, is attributed to promoting deviance
rather than reducing it. When individuals contemplate the term deviance, they often think of it as
behavior that is inherently bad. Contrary to that belief, deviance is described as a behavior that
departs from the social constructs of a society(Thio 2010). Deviance, criminal or not, is commonly
used amongst mass media to entertain their viewers. The media relies on their audience's inherent
social constructs to make a profit. Without the meanings attached to these deviant behaviors, there
wouldn't be any motive behind showing them. All things considered, what the media covers and
how much they chose to cover has significantly changed over the years, the most apparent in crime
coverage. This consistent coverage of crime gives the audience an opportunity to interact with the
media. They can feel a part of the intensity of an investigation, cheer on the enforcers, become
immersed in their stereotypes. On the other hand, they can appreciate deviance for its resilience to

Mass Media On Teenagers
The media has a strong influence on teenagers since they are mentally vulnerable and have access to
various media especially visual and social. It is imperative for parents to filter the content that
teenagers have access. This paper seeks to find out the effects of media on teenagers. Mass media
has both negative and positive influences, and I strive to prove this claim.
Online media and television have given teenagers access to health education on various diseases
such as STDs, acne, and depression. The programs help the adolescents to dispel any myths about
health care. Health organizations such as MayoClinic have confidential sites where teenagers are
given a platform to ask any question without being judged. Youths who suffer from chronic
conditions such as diabetes, asthma and skin ailments can join networks that provide support and the
best method to handle their health.
Television also has the potential to create negative and positive impacts. Although not all television
programs are immoral, data has shown that the majority have scenes of violence, offensive
language, and inappropriate sexuality. Such series include Empire, where the main character deals
with drugs, violence and sex. Another show is Game of Thrones where the characters portray gory
battle scene, foul language and sexual scenes. Television has also been shown to take teens away
from their reading and studying time since they become addicted to the programs they watch
(Osama 94).
Television occupies time for exercises and other physical activities from teenagers. Youths who
binge–watch television are more likely to consume junk foods and snacks that contain high–calorie
intake. Since these calories are not being burned physically, there is a higher chance that these
teenagers will end up being obese. Advertised foods have been shown to contain fats that surpass
the recommended limit by nutritionists. The number of hours spent watching programs on television
is related to an increased chance of cholesterol levels in teens. Eating disorders, especially in female
teens, have been fueled by the images seen on television of thin models or characters in TV
programs who have lost weight due to unconventional ways.

The Importance Of Mass Media
Mass media has become an essential part of the growth and well–being of the United States. In
everything from campaigning to daily news coverage, television, radio, newspapers, and the internet
all contribute to the updated political and environmental knowledge of the public. Having important,
day–to–day information accessible at any time is an incredible advantage to the success and
development of the American democracy. However, every piece of information released is not
completely accurate and without bias. The reporters, newsmen, journalists, and other people
contributing to the media, write their pieces in their own words according to the data they are given,
drawing upon their own conclusions. While many publications are accurate and useful to its readers,
some pieces rely not on facts and statistics, but on the author's own personal opinions. Although I
believe reporters should be free to release any story written with any style the reporter chooses
(assuming the story is not degrading the rights or dignities of another person or persons), I also
believe that the parts of publications that do not draw from factual data, but from the author's point
of view, should be labelled accordingly. By doing so, Americans can then feel safe in knowing that
the information given to them is accurately stated, effectively terminating any confusion or
manipulation of the public. According to a survey conducted in December 2016 by the Pew

The Importance Of Mass Media
Mass media is one of the greatest tools of communication. Media is the source of mass
communication which can be delivered through newspapers, radio, and television. Mass media is
very important because it provides information for people around the world. Because of its
importance, mass media is always changing day by day. The development of technology lead a
change to digital media. Internet, for instance, has been most popular in recent years. It has provided
people with a large source of information. As a result, printed media such as newspapers are left
behind by the majority of readers. For example, readership for the New York Times has dropped by
50% (BBC. 2010). Newspaper readers have moved onto digital media because of several reasons.
These reasons prove that paper newspapers are becoming obsolete.
The debate about whether printed or digital media is superior has been debated heavily for the last
couple of years. Is reading a printed newspaper the way it should be, or is reading articles online on
devices the better choice?

The Propaganda Model Of The Mass Media
Throughout society, the mass media constantly changes over time. The mass media play a
prominent role in informing the public about what occurs within the world, especially in areas
which audiences do not acquire direct experience and knowledge. This essay will argue that the
propaganda model is no longer valid as it has become outdated. This essay will also discuss the
model in relation to the five filters and draw on Rampton's critique of the propaganda model in
contemporary society.
The propaganda model was developed by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky in 1988. The
propaganda model was published in the book of Manufacturing Consent, sought to provide an
analytical framework that attempts to explain the behavioral and performance of the mass media in
the United States (Herman, 2000). Herman and Chomsky (2002) argued that the propaganda model
contains five filters which determine what is 'news'. The first filter is the size, ownership, and profit
orientation of the media, which refers to the cooperation between the mainstream media and the
large conglomerate. The second filter is advertising, which refers to the mass media using
advertising as the central source of income. The third filter is sourcing, which refers to the mass
media dependency of information from the government, business and experts. The fourth filter is

Media And Broad Casting Mass Media
For a long time, people receive news on the printed source such as newspaper, magazine which
published by newspaper company or publishing company. A little while a go, people got another
news source which are radio and television. Most country start with public broad casting and while
later, the radio or television company established and start broadcasting own programs. Both literary
media and broad casting mass media are mostly driven by big company and each of those company
has own political stance or sponsor and those factor heavily reflected to the articles or programs
they published. Back in the days, these biased article provide versatility to individual issues. For
example the press called Partisan Press which has clear political bias and it attracted the different

versatility by concentration of the ownership. Consequence of the capitalism society, many of the

The Mass Media Influence On Society
The mass media greatly influence the behavior and thoughts of citizens and policymakers, and has a
great impact on policy agenda. The mass media includes television, radio, newspapers, magazines,
the Internet, and other means of popular communication. There are two kinds of media; print media,
which includes newspapers and magazines, and electronic media, which includes television, radio,
and the Internet. There are various positives and negatives of the media and its relation to the public
and to policymaking.
The media allow for Americans to have access to new information, sometimes at a relatively low
price or for free. The mass media provide information for all Americans, regardless of
socioeconomic status; the mass media influence all people, not just the elites. This is important
because all Americans can gain knowledge about what is occurring in the United States government,
as well as around the world. The media can reach all Americans, but can also target specific
audiences and demographics. An example of this is when a magazine focuses on a specific topic or
area of interest. Because of the Internet and television News channels which report news 24/7,
Americans have a constant flow of new information, which they can access at any given time.

Mass Media And The Media
The fear of crime is one of the most lasting outcomes of a crime–ridden society. Crime, deviance,
delinquency and other social problems have always been a staple of newspaper accounts, television
news shows and crime dramas. The majority of the population relies on the news media as the main
source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting decisions.
Knowledge of these events is secondhand, filtered through the media graphically and textually, thus
appearing immediate, shocking, entertaining and informative. In today's society the media has
become our firsthand experience for our source of information, opinion, and news about the world.
While there is some debate as to how much influence the media actually has, there is some evidence
to suggest there is some connection. The controversial topic between mass media and the fear of
crime can be explained by the influential aspects of the media, moral panics of crime and the fear of
victimization.
Furthermore because the media is such an integral part of our lives, it generates a great deal of
popular interest and debate, especially regarding controversial topics. However, defining "fear of
crime" has generated some controversy where no single agreed–upon definition exists (Heath,

The Influences of Mass Media on Society
For the greater majority of the American society, the presence of mass media is
a "normal" part of everyday lives. With the purpose of mass media being to educate,
entertain and inform, the excessive violence, self imaging, and lack of full detail on
world events, is having negative influences and unhealthy impacts on society.
As early as the 1920s, a form of the media has been present in the American society.
Although broadcasted content was limited and not as popular as present day, for
some homes, it was a source of entertainment and information "From 1921 to 1924,
there were only 500 licensed media radio stations. By the 1940s (1930–1940), at least
83% of homes possessed a radio"(Smith, 2014,paragraph 2&3, Radio: The Internet of
the 1930 's). The negativity of certain broadcasting posed as a concern, even in the
early years. As Smith explained, "But the new technology also raised anxieties.
Observers worried about the propriety and taste of the radio programs that would
penetrate the sanctity of the home"(Smith, 2014,paragraph 2&3, Radio: The Internet

The Functions Of Mass Media
1.Linkage
One of the functions of mass media is linkage. Mass media is able to join different elements of
society that are not directly connected. For example, mass advertising attempts to link the needs of
buyers with the products of sellers. Legislators may try to keep in touch with constituent's feelings
by reading their hometown papers. Voters learn about the doings of their elected officials through
newspapers, TV, radio and websites. Another type of linkage occurs when geographically separated
groups that share a common interest are linked by the media. The dating services such as Facebook,
eBay online auction site enable people who want to buy or sell items link up. There is however hate
sites on the internet that terrorist use to spread propaganda and recruit new members. For example,
newspapers generate opinion; develop feeling for whatever happenings are reported. Advertising
through mass media links together the needs of buyers with the products of sellers. It is also possible
that media can create new social and professional groups by linking together the people of same
interest. This function is also called 'public making' ability of the mass media. For example, people
interested in geography, science, environment form a group and this phenomenon may account for
the growth of some movement. In this way, media become a bridge between different groups who

Media Bias In Mass Media
In United State mass media has always been known for being biased. And that's dating back in the
early 1700s. For instance, in 1798, 4 laws of Alien and Sedition Acts was passed by the Congress of
U.S in which they state that "The Sedition Act made it a crime for American citizens to "print, utter,
or publish... any false, scandalous, and malicious writing". Thus, these laws straightly go against the
political parties and the journalists and newspapers. Consequently, by the beginning of 1801, this act
was abolished. Until the 19th century, it's clearly that the rise of bias in mass media has never gotten
any diminished. These mainstream such as CNN, BBC, NBC News, MSNBC, Daily Show, or New
York Times versus Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Drudge Report or Rush Limbaugh Show still
battling for their political supports, Democratic–liberals versus Republican–conservatives. Their
biases are most likely to be seen in the editorial section of the newspapers. However, it's seemed to

Media Used In Mass Media
Many people in the mass media industry have used their platform in very different ways. The ways
people have used them , do vary because some mass media influencers use their platform for good
and some use it for bad. For example, In the Brian Williams case he used it for bad because he lied
to the people that looked up to him, or people that watched the news. Another example would be
when Jorge Ramos was kicked out of the press room for asking difficult question to Donald Trump,
but in this case it was different because he used mass media for good because he was asking these
questions for the people and for them to know, what was going on. Because if not then who is going
to ask them. Brian Williams used his platform in a bad way because he lied to people which initially
caused him to lose his job. He lied to people saying that he was there in the helicopter during the
Iraq invasion. He clearly just wanted to make himself look good in front of the public eye , so he
made himself the hero of the story when he was obviously not. Jones states "that is why much of
America, including myself, is having a hard time understanding how NBC news anchor Brian
Williams could possibly have "misremembered" whether he was actually aboard a Chinook
helicopter forced down by rocket fire during the Iraq invasion in 2003. Especially when there were
multiple witnesses around to remind him of the truth of what happened that day". This shows that

The Effects Of Mass Media On Society
Where do we get our information in society? How do we know what is true information from false
information? Mass media, including T.V, Radio stations, newspaper has taken over the minds of
people in society. According to Glen Smith and Kathleen Searles, Most assumption are being based
off of what they see and hear on the television, social networks and on the radio because its mainly
one side stories or one bashing of individuals. People do not take the time to go in–depth about the
situation being inaccurately displayed at times. Sociologist is beginning to realize the effect of mass

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Patrick Daley explained from a sociology point of view that Ferrarotti's believe society has lost the
essence to communicate with each other face to face; our expressive world is no longer there.
Ferrarotti's argued, " We are losing our ability to produce meaning, to the massive out pouring of
images from television. Television also annihilates history; Frerrarotti maintains, by giving us an
unremitting stream of disconnected and episodic event." This goes to show that media definitely has
control of our minds. They showcase what they want the people to see and have judgment on. Even
fashion or the way they portray women and men, has become a money–making business because of

Mass Media Communication
Definition
Mass media is a media intended for a large audience. It may take the form of broadcast media, as in
the case of television and radio, or print media, like newspapers and magazines. Internet media can
also attain mass media status, and many media outlets maintain a web presence to take advantage of
the ready availability of Internet in many regions of the world. Some people also refer to it as the
"mainstream media," referencing the fact that it tends to stick to prominent stories which will be of
interest to a general audience, sometimes ignoring controversial breaking news. Many people
around the world rely on this form of media for news and entertainment, and globally, it is a huge

The Influence Of The Mass Media In The Media
Mass media has a huge influence on communities across America. There are numerous mass media
platforms like the internet, tv, magazines, and radio. Through the use of this platforms, messages are
able to be given to the public at a huge and rapid rate. Information can at times, however, be
misleading. Due to the fact that the media has a huge influence on the views of people, it is often
used as a way to deteriorate the image of a certain group or individual, underrepresenting them in
the entertainment business. In the 1950's African Americans were underrepresented in the media,
accounting for 6% of tv characters. Their numbers increased to 16% in the 1980's (Rodriguez 13).
That, however, has not been the case for the Hispanic/ Latino community. The Hispanic / Latino
community are underrepresented in the mass media, being portrayed negatively in their moments in
the media. This research began on November November 7, 2017. Online databases and books were
all acquired through the Augsburg University Library. I looked for peer reviewed sources in order to
make my research as credible as possible. The population interest were Latinos and the media
during after the 1950's. The process began by reading all sources and identifying the most relevant
information to my topic. As information was gathered, some of the sources that were of little to no
use were taken out of the research. When going through the information gathering while reading,
there was a lot of focus given on the data and its analysis done by the researchers. Once information
was gathered on one source, I would move onto the next. To organize the information gathered, it
was classified by focus. In example, if in two sources news coverage was the topic, they would be
grouped together. Once the information was organized and sorted out, the information was
compared and analysed. Than it would be put into the actual research paper. The research done
gives a general representation of the representation of Latinos on the media. In some states, this
would not apply as they have local Latino tv channels, ran by the community itself. Some of this
information was included in the research itself.

The Consequences Of Media Bias In The Mass Media
Everyday we go through life with the same rituals that we have come accustomed We repeat these
daily cycles so often and never realize why we do the things we do, or the reason behind them. We
bring up the subject of Media Bias and at most times it seems as if it is an abstract concept. We do
not usually see the blindfold that is held over our eyes while we are presented with the news about
the world, our neighborhood, and our cities. In my opinion, Media Bias is just a preference
automatically set for us based upon many qualities that the viewer audience tend to share. I will
provide evidence that shows that we are all victims of Media Bias and that it constantly effects our
lives even if we don't know it. Society has a tendency to think that a social issue doesn't have much
importance until it hits us personally. "A person exposed to a persuasive communication in the mass
media sees this as having a greater effect on others than on himself or herself" (Eveland, 2003, pg.
117). This statement proves that people rarely disrupts their daily routines because they believe
media tactics aren't directed solely to them. We often feel like we are "above" whatever situation is
currently being played out by the media, but we all still fall short when it comes to getting past it.

Women in magazines are usually tall, extremely thin, and their faces are covered in makeup. Women
can easily develop insecurities in the way they look and feel about themselves because of
magazines. Women choose to read certain magazines according to their interests. However, their
interests are usually congruent with those of the majority of women or they wouldn't be reading that
particular magazine and those magazines wouldn't stay in business. On the flip side of the sex
factor, influences from magazines such as "For Him" magazine and "Maxim" weigh heavily on
many men's self security. These magazines teach men not only how they should look but also how
they should view things. An example of this is a macho, semi sexist, tough guy, bull headed, over
confident attitude. These magazines define for men the writer's essence of a real man. Men as a
whole atone themselves to such lifestyles probably out of fear of not living by these structures.

Socialization Of Mass Media
The mass media participates in this hegemonic process in the way it reveals the social status and
economic class. The mainstream news media often commends the prosperity and values of the
dominant class and weakens the dignity of the working people. This happens largely through the
corporate monopolization and can be seen through analyzing the dominant ideologies of
consumerism, competition and democracy within modern society. Preserving control over people's
minds is a fundamental element of the political power required to maintain the capitalist economic
system. Herman and Chomsky provide a "propaganda model" that can be used as an agenda to
further examine how the media serves the ends of a dominant elite. The consumer culture is one of
the primary forms of domination and can often interfere with our identities in destructive ways.
Companies use the media as a system of communication to increase commodity consumption in
order to generate profit for capitalists. Mainstream news media are profit driven businesses owned
by corporations and are largely funded by advertisers. Advertising was a significant innovative
expansion that influenced the formation of the consumer. "The goal of advertisers was to
aggressively shape consumer desires and create value in commodities by imbuing them with the
power to transform the consumer into a more desirable person" (C. Colaguori, 2013, p.173). When

The Influence Of Mass Media
Turn on the television, computer, smartphone, or tablet and the majority of the time an
advertisement depicting youthful faces will appear within 10 minutes if not the first 5 seconds of a
loading youtube video. Beauty products, weight loss programs and suppliments, plastic surgery
references and encouragement, tickets to events or locations which stimulate feelings of nostalgia
bombard viewers from every angle. This bias of youthful appearances is the basis of American
media. "The mass media is in the business of affecting how and what people think" (Summers). By
Summers definition it can be concluded that, as the majority of people build the culture of a society
and media affects how and what people think, mass media is creating a culture obsessed with youth.
Americans have a fascination with youth and are reluctant to accept aging gracefully. The obsession
of youth is not an American phenomena. Countries and societies in the modern world and
throughout history have been interested in discovering methods of reversing the biological clock
through means of beauty products and practices so that individuals may appear younger, and
thereby, more beautiful. World wide, making changes to one's appearance to reverse, halt, or
prolong the human lifespan has been embodied by myths as early as 3,000 B.C.E. and perhaps
earlier (Binstock). Further, actual records of such practices have been traced back to 2,500 B.C.E.

As Eco says, in reality, people can accept the basic codes, but they have their own idea and

mass media too much could be dangerous. According to Mead (1929: 135) "We do so intimately
identify our experiences, especially our affective experiences, with the self that it takes a moment's
abstraction to realize that pain and pleasure can be there without being the experience of the self,"
this implies that people have a different understanding of a same message because everyone has
different experiences. People have different experiences because of the obvious regional and
cultural differences. For example, people accept different education, so their knowledge level is
different. When two people, which have a different level of knowledge receives a same message
from mass media, they will have different understanding of message. Hence, mess media cannot

Mass Media Bias And Its Effect On The Media
Having control over an entire country's population's opinion is a powerful thing to have. Possessing
that control would allow you to direct how the population spends their money or even who they like
and dislike in politics. The mainstream media news outlets have this control and are expected to
give us information that is unbiased, fair, and not meant to sway our opinion. The topic I will be
exploring is bias in the mainstream news media and how it effects their viewers. This is an
important topic in the field of communication because it has such a great impact on any country that
uses mass media to disseminate information. The information can be given to the viewers with a
certain twist to intentionally shape their view of an event, or it can be unintentionally bias just by
the tone and manner they are reporting on the event. I am going to research how mass media news
outlets influence the viewers opinion, and what goes in to picking the news stories covered. These
are controversial topics to get into, but important to consider. They can have a very big impact on
things like elections for a political office, support or dislike of a certain group, or can sway your
opinion of who is the hero in a certain story. My sources will need to show specific examples of
how the media is biased towards one opinion, what the effects are from this are, and who makes the

Media workers need to have social skills, and the ability to talk to people. It is one of the many ways
in which a reporter finds out what is going on. They need to be able to present the news in a clear

ear for 'the story' and a desire to capture the latest news," says Al, "The process behind establishing
what is published and what isn't wholly depends on what is relevant for people in the community to
know."
The training involved in becoming a reporter deals especially with developing a person's social skill,
and their ability to use their curiosity to get information out of people, even when they are reluctant

Mass Media In The Media

  • 1. Mass Media In The Media Mass media is a large part of what the population consumes and identifies with; the fact that so much of life is influenced by the media is unhealthy especially considering how some of its messages are inherently sinister, and reach a worldwide audience. It has the ability to progress or devolve a society of people with the imagery it chooses to display. In the documentary, 'Miss Representation' by Siebel Newsom, the point is raised "The media is selling young people the idea that girls' and women's value lies in their youth, beauty, and sexuality and not in their capacity as leaders. Boys learn that their success is tied to dominance, power, and aggression. We must value people as whole human beings, not gendered stereotypes" (2011, Siebel Newsom). Infantilization, hypersexualization and dehumanization/objectification of women are epidemics that spread throughout the media to a point where it is rare, and jarring, to see a woman represented without those things. To contrast, men are often portrayed as powerful and/or of a high status. They are allowed to age and given permission to be given genuinely human traits and characteristics. This can severely impact the mindsets and behaviours of the individuals who consume these images. When young women and girls are subjected to these images hundreds of times a day for years, side effects include low self–esteem, eating disorders, and self–objectification.

  • 2. The Importance Of Mass Media Bias In The Media 1. Introduction Having control over an entire country's population's opinion is a powerful thing to have. Possessing that control would allow you to direct how the population spends their money or even who they like and dislike in politics. The mainstream media news outlets have this control and are expected to give us information that is unbiased, fair, and not meant to sway our opinion. The topic I will be exploring is bias in the mainstream news media and how it affects their viewers. This is an important topic in the field of communication because it has such a great impact on any country that uses mass media to disseminate information. The information can be given to the viewers with a certain twist to intentionally shape their view of an event, or it can be unintentionally bias just by the tone and manner they are reporting on the event. I am going to research how mass media news outlets influence the viewers opinion, and what goes into picking the news stories covered. These are controversial topics to get into, but important to consider. They can have a very big impact on things like elections for a political office, support or dislike of a certain group, or can sway your opinion of who is the hero in a certain story. My sources will need to show specific examples of how the media is biased towards one opinion, what the effects are from this, and who makes the determination of the bias that is being displayed. 2.

Since the station started operating, Chinese stations have been frantically adopting the same format, as programmes like this were something which few of them had ever made. One example currently being recorded is an extremely popular male beauty competition. 10. We syndicated this show to several channels already in mainland China and for instance in Chongqing, the channel that we syndicated it to there was Chongqing TV No. 2 and on that channel, in the week, in that time slot, it has gone to become the number one general entertainment channel in all of Chongqing. 11. As television stations rely on advertising revenue, the advertising industry wants to see ratings. Since Xing Kong Weishi entered the China market, it's been bringing in spectators and advertising, leaving domestic stations to follow as best they can. The days of no competition when everyone ate from the same big pot are well and truly over and will not return. 12. In the past the mainland, media was directly under government control. This was an effective way to get policies across to the people. But the effectiveness of government–run media in a free market situation is low. To handle the impact of entry to the WTO as well as Jiang Zemin's directive, the media need to stand on their own two feet.

  • 5. What is Mass Media? What is Mass Media? Mass media refers to the many ways that information reaches a large group of people. Sociologists study mass media to see its affects on socialization, social movement, and social power (Chegg, "Definition of Mass Media"). Examples of mass media: Television Radio Movies Newspaper Internet Importance of Mass Media in Society Mass media is important in society because it reflects the lives, roles, and interests of the people. The media creates the culture and these messages promote not only products, but moods, attitudes, and a sense of what is and what is not important. People rely on mass media in their everyday lives for personal, business, family, and leisurely use (CliffNotes). Mass media sets a standard for what our society should value as a whole. In addition, without mass media we would be left uninformed and less socially connected as a country. Mass Media's Progress Over the Years Mass media has changed radically over the last century along with life, in general, media has changed alongside through the industrial revolution and urbanization, keeping up with the times as they change The development of new technology has driven the rise of new forms of media (Lule) Almost all media is electronic–based today and is largely much more accessible (Lule) Television and radio replaced print media and now the internet is beginning to usurp the place of older electronic sources of information The rapid nature of new forms of electronic media sometimes ...

  • 6. Mass Media And Social Media The Evolution of Media in Presidential Campaigns The effects of mass media and social media have changed the way people have experienced presidential campaigns in many ways. With the development of new technologies through the last hundred years many different ways of experiencing the campaigns have taken place. Newspapers, radio, television, internet and social media websites have changed the ways we all have experienced elections. Between 1960 and today, there have been many milestones in mass media and the way it has been presented to us. In the 1960's television sets were becoming very popular in many households across America. The first televised presidential debate took place on September 26, 1960. "1963: Polls show more Americans report that they rely on television rather than newspapers as their primary source for news." ("1963: Polls show..." PBS, n.d.) With the television becoming the new medium for people to gain information, this was a major milestone in how information was gathered and perceived. Also in the 1960's the first stages of development of the internet began. Early computers were also being produced. This had set the stage for upcoming years in technology that would affect the experience of presidential elections by all. In the 1970's many more transformations were happening in media. The development of the internet was still underway and won't become readily available until the 90's to the general public. Public access television was created. "The ...

  • 7. Media And Mass Media Deviance Media is the most effective method of mass communication. There are many different sources of mass media; broadcast, advertising, digital, hypermedia, interactive, multimedia, new media, news media, print media, published media, recorded media and social media(Dictionary.com 2017). Considering all the different forms media can take, it isn't all too shocking that media has had an influence on deviant behaviors. The media's influence though, is attributed to promoting deviance rather than reducing it. When individuals contemplate the term deviance, they often think of it as behavior that is inherently bad. Contrary to that belief, deviance is described as a behavior that departs from the social constructs of a society(Thio 2010). Deviance, criminal or not, is commonly used amongst mass media to entertain their viewers. The media relies on their audience's inherent social constructs to make a profit. Without the meanings attached to these deviant behaviors, there wouldn't be any motive behind showing them. All things considered, what the media covers and how much they chose to cover has significantly changed over the years, the most apparent in crime coverage. This consistent coverage of crime gives the audience an opportunity to interact with the media. They can feel a part of the intensity of an investigation, cheer on the enforcers, become immersed in their stereotypes. On the other hand, they can appreciate deviance for its resilience to overcome and resist ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Mass Media On Teenagers The media has a strong influence on teenagers since they are mentally vulnerable and have access to various media especially visual and social. It is imperative for parents to filter the content that teenagers have access. This paper seeks to find out the effects of media on teenagers. Mass media has both negative and positive influences, and I strive to prove this claim. Online media and television have given teenagers access to health education on various diseases such as STDs, acne, and depression. The programs help the adolescents to dispel any myths about health care. Health organizations such as MayoClinic have confidential sites where teenagers are given a platform to ask any question without being judged. Youths who suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and skin ailments can join networks that provide support and the best method to handle their health. Television also has the potential to create negative and positive impacts. Although not all television programs are immoral, data has shown that the majority have scenes of violence, offensive language, and inappropriate sexuality. Such series include Empire, where the main character deals with drugs, violence and sex. Another show is Game of Thrones where the characters portray gory battle scene, foul language and sexual scenes. Television has also been shown to take teens away from their reading and studying time since they become addicted to the programs they watch (Osama 94). Television occupies time for exercises and other physical activities from teenagers. Youths who binge–watch television are more likely to consume junk foods and snacks that contain high–calorie intake. Since these calories are not being burned physically, there is a higher chance that these teenagers will end up being obese. Advertised foods have been shown to contain fats that surpass the recommended limit by nutritionists. The number of hours spent watching programs on television is related to an increased chance of cholesterol levels in teens. Eating disorders, especially in female teens, have been fueled by the images seen on television of thin models or characters in TV programs who have lost weight due to unconventional ways.

  • 9. The Importance Of Mass Media Mass media has become an essential part of the growth and well–being of the United States. In everything from campaigning to daily news coverage, television, radio, newspapers, and the internet all contribute to the updated political and environmental knowledge of the public. Having important, day–to–day information accessible at any time is an incredible advantage to the success and development of the American democracy. However, every piece of information released is not completely accurate and without bias. The reporters, newsmen, journalists, and other people contributing to the media, write their pieces in their own words according to the data they are given, drawing upon their own conclusions. While many publications are accurate and useful to its readers, some pieces rely not on facts and statistics, but on the author's own personal opinions. Although I believe reporters should be free to release any story written with any style the reporter chooses (assuming the story is not degrading the rights or dignities of another person or persons), I also believe that the parts of publications that do not draw from factual data, but from the author's point of view, should be labelled accordingly. By doing so, Americans can then feel safe in knowing that the information given to them is accurately stated, effectively terminating any confusion or manipulation of the public. According to a survey conducted in December 2016 by the Pew Research Center, about two–in–three American ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. The Importance Of Mass Media Mass media is one of the greatest tools of communication. Media is the source of mass communication which can be delivered through newspapers, radio, and television. Mass media is very important because it provides information for people around the world. Because of its importance, mass media is always changing day by day. The development of technology lead a change to digital media. Internet, for instance, has been most popular in recent years. It has provided people with a large source of information. As a result, printed media such as newspapers are left behind by the majority of readers. For example, readership for the New York Times has dropped by 50% (BBC. 2010). Newspaper readers have moved onto digital media because of several reasons. These reasons prove that paper newspapers are becoming obsolete. The debate about whether printed or digital media is superior has been debated heavily for the last couple of years. Is reading a printed newspaper the way it should be, or is reading articles online on devices the better choice? There are hefty concerns about each side. In a video posted by CNBC, Landon Dowdy talks about millennials being perceived in the workplace as lazy. Dowdy talks to millennial workplace expert, Lindsey Pollack, about how millennials are not lazy at all as portrayed by their stereotypes. In fact, the opposite is true as millennials strive to be the most efficient which leads to other generations believing that millennials are 'lazy' (Dowdy, L. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. The Propaganda Model Of The Mass Media Throughout society, the mass media constantly changes over time. The mass media play a prominent role in informing the public about what occurs within the world, especially in areas which audiences do not acquire direct experience and knowledge. This essay will argue that the propaganda model is no longer valid as it has become outdated. This essay will also discuss the model in relation to the five filters and draw on Rampton's critique of the propaganda model in contemporary society. The propaganda model was developed by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky in 1988. The propaganda model was published in the book of Manufacturing Consent, sought to provide an analytical framework that attempts to explain the behavioral and performance of the mass media in the United States (Herman, 2000). Herman and Chomsky (2002) argued that the propaganda model contains five filters which determine what is 'news'. The first filter is the size, ownership, and profit orientation of the media, which refers to the cooperation between the mainstream media and the large conglomerate. The second filter is advertising, which refers to the mass media using advertising as the central source of income. The third filter is sourcing, which refers to the mass media dependency of information from the government, business and experts. The fourth filter is "flak", which refers to the negative response that discipline the media. The fifth filter is anti– communism, which refers to the control mechanism of the ...

  • 12. Media And Broad Casting Mass Media For a long time, people receive news on the printed source such as newspaper, magazine which published by newspaper company or publishing company. A little while a go, people got another news source which are radio and television. Most country start with public broad casting and while later, the radio or television company established and start broadcasting own programs. Both literary media and broad casting mass media are mostly driven by big company and each of those company has own political stance or sponsor and those factor heavily reflected to the articles or programs they published. Back in the days, these biased article provide versatility to individual issues. For example the press called Partisan Press which has clear political bias and it attracted the different group of people.(Sikka, Week4 Lecture) The issue now publish and broadcast media is lack of versatility by concentration of the ownership. Consequence of the capitalism society, many of the company which produce news bought by bigger powerful company and it end up with under around 10 company are owning media nowadays and this concentration of media ownership leads to the lack of versatility.(Lorimer, 249) After the internet technology available to the public, the issue of versatility starts to solve gradually by individual's blog or the rapid rising of micro–blog service use such as "Twitter".

  • 13. The Power Of Mass Media Randy Butler Gender and Culture December 16, 2014 Final Project The Power of Mass Media in Todays World: The Perceptions and Realities Behind the Curtains It's a Thursday night and Jessie is sitting down, munching on some chips and dip, and watching the weekly episode of Scandal with her friend Mary in the dim light of their living room. A scene comes on the television with two gay men intimately approaching each other, about to have sex. For a minute, the girls are tensely sitting in silence, not speaking, but awkwardly staring at the television. As the scene turns to a commercial, the girls begin to loosen up and start giggling. Blushing, Jessie interrupts the awkwardness, "Well you don't really see that too much!" Scandal is just one of the recent shows featuring gay characters and themes. Slowly, television and motion picture movie films are striving to be inclusive. Gay characters on prime– time shows and in top rated, popular films are trying to generally become the norm rather than just the exception, whether as regular characters, or occasional ones. As the world is becoming interconnected and as globalization is at its full peek, people are increasingly being influenced by mass media and popular culture. While society is changing through each decade, so has the media's portrayal of the LGBT–gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer–community.

  • 14. The Mass Media Influence On Society The mass media greatly influence the behavior and thoughts of citizens and policymakers, and has a great impact on policy agenda. The mass media includes television, radio, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and other means of popular communication. There are two kinds of media; print media, which includes newspapers and magazines, and electronic media, which includes television, radio, and the Internet. There are various positives and negatives of the media and its relation to the public and to policymaking. The media allow for Americans to have access to new information, sometimes at a relatively low price or for free. The mass media provide information for all Americans, regardless of socioeconomic status; the mass media influence all people, not just the elites. This is important because all Americans can gain knowledge about what is occurring in the United States government, as well as around the world. The media can reach all Americans, but can also target specific audiences and demographics. An example of this is when a magazine focuses on a specific topic or area of interest. Because of the Internet and television News channels which report news 24/7, Americans have a constant flow of new information, which they can access at any given time.

  • 16. Mass Media And The Media The fear of crime is one of the most lasting outcomes of a crime–ridden society. Crime, deviance, delinquency and other social problems have always been a staple of newspaper accounts, television news shows and crime dramas. The majority of the population relies on the news media as the main source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting decisions. Knowledge of these events is secondhand, filtered through the media graphically and textually, thus appearing immediate, shocking, entertaining and informative. In today's society the media has become our firsthand experience for our source of information, opinion, and news about the world. While there is some debate as to how much influence the media actually has, there is some evidence to suggest there is some connection. The controversial topic between mass media and the fear of crime can be explained by the influential aspects of the media, moral panics of crime and the fear of victimization. Furthermore because the media is such an integral part of our lives, it generates a great deal of popular interest and debate, especially regarding controversial topics. However, defining "fear of crime" has generated some controversy where no single agreed–upon definition exists (Heath, 2012).

By the 1940s (1930–1940), at least 83% of homes possessed a radio"(Smith, 2014,paragraph 2&3, Radio: The Internet of the 1930 's). The negativity of certain broadcasting posed as a concern, even in the early years. As Smith explained, "But the new technology also raised anxieties.

  • 24. Media Bias In Mass Media In United State mass media has always been known for being biased. And that's dating back in the early 1700s. For instance, in 1798, 4 laws of Alien and Sedition Acts was passed by the Congress of U.S in which they state that "The Sedition Act made it a crime for American citizens to "print, utter, or publish... any false, scandalous, and malicious writing". Thus, these laws straightly go against the political parties and the journalists and newspapers. Consequently, by the beginning of 1801, this act was abolished. Until the 19th century, it's clearly that the rise of bias in mass media has never gotten any diminished. These mainstream such as CNN, BBC, NBC News, MSNBC, Daily Show, or New York Times versus Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Drudge Report or Rush Limbaugh Show still battling for their political supports, Democratic–liberals versus Republican–conservatives. Their biases are most likely to be seen in the editorial section of the newspapers.

Another example would be when Jorge Ramos was kicked out of the press room for asking difficult question to Donald Trump, but in this case it was different because he used mass media for good because he was asking these questions for the people and for them to know, what was going on. Because if not then who is going to ask them. Brian Williams used his platform in a bad way because he lied to people which initially caused him to lose his job. He lied to people saying that he was there in the helicopter during the Iraq invasion. He clearly just wanted to make himself look good in front of the public eye , so he made himself the hero of the story when he was obviously not.

There are numerous mass media platforms like the internet, tv, magazines, and radio. Through the use of this platforms, messages are able to be given to the public at a huge and rapid rate. Information can at times, however, be misleading. Due to the fact that the media has a huge influence on the views of people, it is often used as a way to deteriorate the image of a certain group or individual, underrepresenting them in the entertainment business. In the 1950's African Americans were underrepresented in the media, accounting for 6% of tv characters. Their numbers increased to 16% in the 1980's (Rodriguez 13). That, however, has not been the case for the Hispanic/ Latino community. The Hispanic / Latino community are underrepresented in the mass media, being portrayed negatively in their moments in the media. This research began on November November 7, 2017. Online databases and books were all acquired through the Augsburg University Library. I looked for peer reviewed sources in order to make my research as credible as possible. The population interest were Latinos and the media during after the 1950's. The process began by reading all sources and identifying the most relevant information to my topic. As information was gathered, some of the sources that were of little to no use were taken out of the research.

The mainstream news media often commends the prosperity and values of the dominant class and weakens the dignity of the working people. This happens largely through the corporate monopolization and can be seen through analyzing the dominant ideologies of consumerism, competition and democracy within modern society. Preserving control over people's minds is a fundamental element of the political power required to maintain the capitalist economic system.

This bias of youthful appearances is the basis of American media. "The mass media is in the business of affecting how and what people think" (Summers). By Summers definition it can be concluded that, as the majority of people build the culture of a society and media affects how and what people think, mass media is creating a culture obsessed with youth. Americans have a fascination with youth and are reluctant to accept aging gracefully. The obsession of youth is not an American phenomena.

People have different experiences because of the obvious regional and cultural differences. For example, people accept different education, so their knowledge level is different. When two people, which have a different level of knowledge receives a same message from mass media, they will have different understanding of message. Hence, mess media cannot totally influence people's decisions and outcomes.

  • 40. Mass Media Bias And Its Effect On The Media Having control over an entire country's population's opinion is a powerful thing to have. Possessing that control would allow you to direct how the population spends their money or even who they like and dislike in politics. The mainstream media news outlets have this control and are expected to give us information that is unbiased, fair, and not meant to sway our opinion. The topic I will be exploring is bias in the mainstream news media and how it effects their viewers. This is an important topic in the field of communication because it has such a great impact on any country that uses mass media to disseminate information. The information can be given to the viewers with a certain twist to intentionally shape their view of an event, or it can be unintentionally bias just by the tone and manner they are reporting on the event. I am going to research how mass media news outlets influence the viewers opinion, and what goes in to picking the news stories covered. These are controversial topics to get into, but important to consider. They can have a very big impact on things like elections for a political office, support or dislike of a certain group, or can sway your opinion of who is the hero in a certain story. My sources will need to show specific examples of how the media is biased towards one opinion, what the effects are from this are, and who makes the determines the bias that is being displayed.

  • 42. The World of Mass Media The world of Mass Media is a complicated place as told by former TV and Radio reporter, Al Meyers. "You never know what you're going to be doing, but then there's the ability to be able to do it and to share that with the people who are listening." Meyers, who is retired, gave me the pleasure of sitting down and talking to me about the world of Mass Media Communication, then and now.

They need to be able to present the news in a clear concise way that is easy for listeners to interpret and understand. "You need to have an eye and an ear for 'the story' and a desire to capture the latest news," says Al, "The process behind establishing what is published and what isn't wholly depends on what is relevant for people in the community to know." The training involved in becoming a reporter deals especially with developing a person's social skill, and their ability to use their curiosity to get information out of people, even when they are reluctant to give it. Interaction with people is important because as a Media worker you have to be able to work together with a group of people in order to make all aspects of a story fit together. "Television news requires a thirst for getting the scoop, and it also requires energy and ambition. News reporters have to have the ability to write and speak in a way that makes people think.

Its role cannot be underestimated in the influence of current societal attitudes towards eating, body image paradigms and self–esteem.
