Watching TV Does More Harmful Things to People than Good...
Watching TV is an experience that most people do for almost all the time. Some people believe that watching TV does more good things to people
than harmful things, but other people say that it does more harmful things to people than good things. The people who say that TV does more
harmful things than good things are doctors who know about things that are good and bad in people's health and the people who say that TV is
good for you are the people who watch a lot of TV. Since doctors can help cure people and know what is good for people, this would mean that the
doctors are correct about TV harming people than the people who watch a lot of TV who believe that TV can do good things to other people.
Watching TV does more harmful things to people than good things because it can cause them people to imitate bad behavior on TV, it can cause
people to have health problems, and that it can people's time away from doing activities that help them become successful in their life. People who
watch a lot of tv think that they are not harmed by the TV but this however is not true. Doctors who know what's good for people say that watching
TV can cause a lot of harm to people since it can cause people to have behavior problems and can cause them to not feel well from their health. One
way that TV can do more harmful things than good things is that it can cause people who watch a lot of TV to imitate bad behavior on TV. According

The Pros And Cons Of Cable
By end of 2017, over 15.4 million people in the US will cut their cable. Who can blame them? Cable hasn't evolved in last 80 years and cost of
keeping cable is getting expensive every year. Nevertheless, many people are still paying for cable, when we have streaming services like Netflix,
Hulu, and Amazon. Streaming services are a better alternative to cable because they are cost–effective, more accessible, more convenient,
customizable, smarter and they are no commercials. Streaming services cost me about $12 a month including taxes and other fees. In contrast, it cost
me approximately $130 per month excluding taxes and other fees. Cable is not getting cheaper any time soon. in this article "Yes, Netflix and Hulu
Are Starting to Kill Cable" Stenovec states "The average cable TV bill, not including fees, promotion or taxes, has increased by whopping a 97
percent over the past 14 years, according to the media research firm SNL Kagan. That bill could reach whopping $200 per month by 2020, one study
found." Even after paying hundreds of dollars per month, consumers can only watch TV in living room and if they want cable service in other rooms, it
will cost them additional money. On the other hand, consumers only need internet to stream content from their favorite streaming site. Also, streaming
services are available on smartphones, smart TVs, computers, iPads, tablets and gaming consoles. Which means consumers can stream content
anywhere. In addition, consumers can download TV

The Philip Defanco Show
For a week I chose to watch and compare The Rachel Maddow Show and The Philip DeFranco Show. I had chosen to compare the two because
they are both personality driven news shows, with the similar format of one presenter and a skew towards a liberal political stance. These similarities
will allow me to more clearly see a difference in how I consume the content. The format of the show hosted by Maddow, a cable news show on MSNBC
, has remained for the most part, static, it could have been produced 30 years ago to the same effect through television. Whereas, DeFranco's show on
YouTube would never have been able to exist in its capacity if it were not for the internet. Clearly marking the distinction between old and new media
to me.
I firstly noted that the news stories which were covering by the two sources were mainly different. While DeFranco skewed more towards pop culture,
Maddow was more focused on governmental events. Both however, covered American politics and events. One intersecting story which occurred

YouTube uses a similar model as television, advertisements, but in a completely different form. Creators on YouTube are payed based on views, as the
more people watch the content the more advertisers are interested in investing, but this model is fluctuating and unreliable. To build a more sustainable
model, many creators turn to alternative forms of revenue. Philip DeFranco, for example, has built a business model on selling merchandise, acquiring
his own sponsors and working with a larger multimedia company, Discovery Network. Therefore, in a sense new media is still very much financially
reliant on old–media. Television shows such as The Rachel Maddow Show has more stability, with advertisers trusting the reliability of

Essay On BBC Media Coverage
This essay will argue that whilst the BBC media coverage of my chosen article has good attributes, there is a lack of extensiveness and some of the
information that is presented to the reader is misleading. Throughout this essay I will analyse the original research study and compare the findings to
previous research. Secondly, an analysis of the media's article will be conducted, before comparing it the research study. Lastly, I will conclude that the
BBC's representation of the study is imprecise and biased as they excluded limitations and misrepresented the method and findings, thus impacting the
readers ability to acquire precise and impartial information.
Alloway, McCallum, Alloway and Hoicka (2015) recruited participants between the ages of six and seven to assess whether verbal working memory
(WM) has a significant influence on verbal deceptive abilities in children. They used an independent groups design to compare the results of verbal
and visuospatial WM memory between the experimental condition which had 114 participants and the control condition had 21 participants. The
children played a multiple choice trivia game and were categorised as being good liars (GL) or bad liars (BL) based on how they answered

background and context, the view of both articles i.e. use of languages, headlines, quotes used e.t.c the last part will be my opinion and the conclusion.
The main idea is to compare two news articles about a prison called Guantanomo bay in Cubaand how the prisoners are being treated, if the prisoners
require a fair trial, if torture is going on and so on. These two articles are gotten from the internet the websites are www.dailymail.co.uk and www.bbc

The prisoners in guantanomo bay are about 450 from at least 43 different countries. The main reason behind the arrest is to find out if any one or
groups of the suspected prisoners had anything to do with the September 11 attack. The Guantanamo bay is outside the US and it has a major
difference between all the prisons in US. The difference is that the prison doesn't obey the UN declaration of human rights which is: right for free trial
before being sentenced to prison, the right for everyone to be allowed any form of defence.g lawyers during the trial.
This two newspaper articles were derived from their websites dailymail.co.uk and bbc.co.uk are giving information on if the prisoners are being
tortured. According to the BBC article prisoners do not have any contact with their families, they where just arrested without trial and they are facing
interrogations with torture. On the other hand the article from the dailymail says that president bush denies having anything to do with the torture of
the prisoners as he claims he didn't other anything of that order. But further in the article some secret white house documents showed us politician

about being treated like a slave under the Taliban's threat to oppose her education. This means, that although this can get her hurt or killed she still

Taliban would go after her father and did not think they would actually harm a child. She then was shot in the head when she was on the school bus

Jerry Springer : The Opera
In this essay I will assess and explore the BBC's decision to broadcast "Jerry Springer: The Opera" broadcasted on 8 January 2005, by drawing on
Utilitarianism and Kantianism theories. Background "Jerry Springer : The Opera" is a British musical written by Stewart Lee and Richard
Thomas (Freud, 2003). The opera is based on the famous American chat show which has been running since 1991 and is still a very popular
television show to this date (A&E Television Networks, 2015). The first time the musical was staged was at the Edinburgh Festival on '7 August
2002' (Wikipedia, 2009) and due to its popularity it became a fully staged production at the end of 2002 (Freud 2003). The producers then moved
the show to The National Theatre in London on 30 September 2003 (Freud, 2003). When the musical became very successful it was then decided
to move the production to the West End, London later in 2003 (Baldock, 2004). One of the reasons the public and critics complained profusely
was because of very bad language from the start. The opera has more than 400 curse words (Thorpe, 2005), a grown man is dressed in a nappy
(who is meant to be Jesus later) and one of the guests on the show is cheating on his partner with a woman who likes to dress up as a little girl
(Wikipedia, 2009), which is a typical situation on the television show. At around 1 hour and 25 minutes into the Opera, Jerry has been shot, goes to

Strengths
Based on the questionnaire administered to BBC users, we can see that BBC is seen very favorably by its users. BBC as a brand is very strong, which
is something the CEO of BBC WW will need to use effectively. BBC WW is also in a very strong financial position. Based on the financial data
provided, the profits generated by BBC WW nearly tripled over the previous three years, and were on track to meet the ВЈ100M target for the
FY2006–2007. Lastly, BBC WW has a very well diversified portfolio of media to meet any demand.
Weaknesses
Due to the fact that BBC operates under a Royal Charter, it tends to be more conservative and it's very focused in its programing on British culture.
This can make it more difficult for BBC WW to see programing in cultures that are not fans of the British culture. BBC WW is also significantly
under–staffed in its international offices, which could make it difficult to implement major strategy changes. Finally, there seems to be a
communication gap between BBC WW and BBC when it comes to suggestions for innovations, and that could hinder progress in new markets.

for large capital programme management offered by ____. Lessons learnt from this programme will be extracted, and it will be assessed whether the
BBC is ultimately working towards its Value for Money and Quality First Strategy, through the implementation of its estate programme.

The British Broadcasting Corporation also known as the BBC, is one of the oldest public broadcasting companies in the world. Funding its operation
mainly through licence fees paid by the public (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2016), the BBC and its Trust have the responsibility of spending public
funds efficiently and ensuring public value and appeal (BBC Trust, 2016).
Throughout its history the BBC has attempted to become more cost effective. Since the launch of the producer choice strategy in 1993 (Felix, 2000), it
has been argued that to achieve this they have battled not only the issues of managerial bureaucracy (Harris et al., 2006), but also the inherent costs of

The book which we see at the start dissolves from one shot to another; in this case it dissolves from the book to Pip running to the churchyard. The
narrative (voice–over) gives a wide perspective. When Pip is running to the churchyard there is a long shot used, this long shot makes Pip look small
and vulnerable. The first things we see in the long shot are the gibbets where the convicts are hanged; this tells us that Pip is in a dangerous and
isolated place.
Then the camera shot is in the graveyard, where the creepy sound effects such as the trees creaking and the wind whistling come into play. The scenery
is very spine–chilling in the graveyard. The wind gets louder as Pip gets more tense and the tree creeks just before the convict arrives so the
entrance is made more dramatic. We see a tree from Pips eyes this makes him look very small and vulnerable. We also hear an owl hoot again just
before the convict arrives, this hoot acts like a warning to Pip that he is in danger. It is an effective technique used by David Lean uses with the owl

Assess the factors which led to the creation of ITV in 1954
Commercial Television has been playing big role in our lives for about 60 years already, whether it is the Morning News, Downton Abbey or The
Britain's Got Talent show (Johnson, Turnock, 2005: 1). Commercial television is entertaining, educating and informative and tries to fulfil viewer's
wishes of what they want to watch. British audience has been able to choose what they watch since 1954, when government published the Act of
Television which allowed the creation of the first independent television in the United Kingdom. The creation of ITV broke the BBC's monopoly and
introduced country a new era with free market and diverse television channels (Williams, 2010:151). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Also, many senior positions in the BBC were still suspicious of the new medium of television (Turnock, 2007:21). Lord Reith summed up the
general attitude of BBC's management to television when he told that 'television will be of no importance in your lifetime or mine' (Williams,
2010:144). General opinion in the BBC was that television would not become as successful as radio. As well as BBC management, government did
not find television being as important as radio. On the contrary to the BBC's management, there were people who saw future in commercial television.
One of those people was Norman Collins who became a director general of Independent Television who left the BBC and started to campaign
commercial television (Crisell, 1997: 78). BBC's broadcasting developing slowly because of the shortage of technical knowledge which gave a reason
for government to legitimize commercial television which would also give jobs many advertisers and television people. Commercial television

The Ardennes Forest was alive during the peak of summer. The birds were chirping, wind was passing through the leaves, and race cars were
roaring through Eau Rouge. It was the middle of July and temperatures soared into triple digits. The sun was beaming down on the magnificent
Spa Francorchamps circuit, and it was a perfect day to go racing. This round in Belgium was the only round of the BRDC British F3 Championship
not held in England, and I was looking to capitalize on this chance to make my move to the front of the field. Thus far, the season had been difficult
with high ambitions turning into lost prospects and great frustration. However, this weekend was different: there was a whiff of opportunity in the
air. I arrived at the circuit Saturday morning with a positive attitude following some productive practice sessions the day before. Qualifying hadn't
gone to plan, with my position being seventeenth due to the lack of drafting I had done on my best lap. Despite this, the engineers set the car up in
race trim, and the stage was set for an almighty fight to the front. The car roared into life, growling and snatching at the road eager to get going . I
drove out of the paddock and began to warm my tires. I rounded the final corner, pulled onto the grid, and began to focus on the lights. Everything goes

Essay On The Battle Of The Atlantic By Helen Cleary
The Battle of the Atlantic was the right between the Allied and German forces to decide who can take control of the Atlantic ocean, It was the
Longest battle during World War II. It began right after the British declaration of the war against Germany in September 1939 and ended when
Germany surrendered to the Allies in May 1945. The Allies needed to keep the flow of men and supplies going between North America and Europe.
On the other hand, the Germans wanted to cut these supply lines. In order to do this, the Germans used submarines, called U–boats, and other warships
to sink Allied transport ships. During the six years of battle, thousands of ships were sunk and men were killed.

The Media Regulation Of The Uk
The media regulation in the U.K. is more extensive compared to the U.S. Ofcom is an independent regulator and competition authority across
television, radio etc. The PCC, also an independent body, deals with complaints from members of the public about editorial content of newspaper and
magazines. The behavior of media is far more regulated in Britain compared to the U.S. In U.S. the views can complain about the content to individual
media outlets but in Britain the complaints are published on various governmental website making it more visible. This means that the impact of
government regulation is more evident in British media than in the American media.
BBC is the only media outlet that is not funded by any organization or advertisers. Anyone who owns a television has to pay the license fee, which

correspondent that the Labour government had "sexed up" the evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to build public consensus for
sending British troops to war. Although it later became apparent that evidence of these weapons was inconclusive, an inquiry into the matter (which

If we talk about the role of media in globalization process we should firstly say that what the media is. The media is media technologies that are
intended to reach a large audience by mass communication. Today the media play a key role in enhancing globalization. And the media also play
important role in facilitating culture exchange flows of information between countries. The media spreads through international news broadcasts, new
technologies, television programming, film and music. There are a lot of broadcasts of media. Foe example: We can say aboutinternet, TV, radio,
newspapers, books, billboards and etc. The media connects the world to a network of information easily accessible for all of us. In this discussion
arises a question: Which role has media in globalization process? I think the role of media in globalization process is very important. And my point of
view is that the media is a part of the globalization process, it is like "pen" of the globalization process, because media shares everything that the
globalization process dictates. The important role in globalization process has Internet, which connects all the countries around the world. Internet is
called "world wide web". So if we say about the globalization process we should remind that the developed countries globalize enough. However, there
are some countries which do not globalize enough. For example, states of 3rd world, hungry states and others.

programming by privately owned corporate media, as opposed to state sponsorship. Commercial broadcasting now exists in most of the countries

Essay on Sir John Reith
Sir John Reith Sir John Reith was the first Director General of the BBC, and he had particularly strong views on broadcasting as having a cultural and
moral responsibility as a means of educating and informing the masses. He once famously stated –
'It is occasionally indicated to us that we are apparently setting out to give the public what we think they need– and not what they want – but few know
what they want and very few what they need. In any case it is better to overestimate the mentality of the public than to underestimate it. He who prides
himself on giving what he thinks the public wants is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The idea of the BBC as a public service meant that the provision should be public goods rather than a private commodity (Curran, 2000). The funding
of the service was based upon the license fee and their agreement with parliament, and this was decided when it was felt that advertising could limit the
number of programmes they would be able to broadcast. They maintained the view that 'our responsibility is to carry into the greatest possible number
of homes, everything that is best in every department of human knowledge, endeavour, or achievement' (cited in Smith, 1998).
That the BBC kept a firm degree of independence from the government was always at the forefront of Reith's aims, and the fact that it also gained a
reputation for its impartiality meant that it came to be, and to some extent, still is a respected institution throughout the world. Nowadays, the BBC still
pride themselves on being 'free of commercial interests and political bias' (2002).
During his reign on the BBC throne, Reith came under much criticism on his views of overestimating the mentality of the public, and providing a
service that contained the matters that he thought should be most important to society. He was often accused of being elitist in his approach to
programming policy. Many of the working class began to feel alienated by the

Many alternatives to the licence fee have been proposed, initially the BBC contemplated using a model championed by retail giant John Lewis in
which licence fee payers could become part shareholders in the corporation. Since the freezing of the current licence fee rate until 2017, have been
forced to make BBC3 a purely online service. Director General Tony Hall warned that BBC4 could be next to go, if further cuts were made to the
BBC's funding .
There have also been calls to introduce a subscription model for the BBC, which has been firmly rejected by the corporation. The BBC warned that
a subscription model could be exclusionary to those unable to afford to pay. Their refusal to enter into a subscription based system may be justified,
as Sky, the UK's first subscription based model announced a target of 10 million homes in 2004, the target was only reached in 2010, as subscriber
numbers elsewhere in europe started to plateau. The amount of time taken to reach this milestone should be of worry for the BBC, as if they are

The British Broadcasting Corporation is synonymous with British culture and is one of the most beloved broadcasting corporations in the world
today. Founded in 1922 by Scottish engineer John Reith, the BBC's philosophy has remained the same throughout almost a century. John Reith was
the BBC's general manager when it was created in 1922 and its director general in 1927 when it became a public corporation ("John Reith."). Reith felt
as he had a duty to improve England. He believed that broadcasting should be held to the highest standards and guided by responsibility. He wished for

The BBC took a number of steps to comfort the public. During the war, the BBC's hours increased exponentially along with staff numbers. By 1946,
the BBC staff had more than doubled (Cain 42–43). In mid–1940, the BBC's news readers started identifying themselves so listeners could be certain
they were hearing BBC news. Yorkshireman Wilfred Pickles became a legendary reporter with his distinctive northern accent ("1940s.") Not even
the headquarters of the BBC was spared during the vicious war. On October 15th, 1941, a German bomb hit the Broadcasting House. Seven
people died in the blast. Bruce Belfage, who was reading the nine o'clock news at the time, continued as if nothing had occurred, despite being
covered in grime. ("1940s.") In 1941, the BBC also started its V for Victory campaign. V stood for victory in English, French, and Flemish.
Audience members were asked to write Vs everywhere they could to represent victory for Allied forces. Unfortunately, Germany used the V for
Victory against Britain to represent an ancient German war cry, 'Viktoria'. The BBC campaign was dismantled in 1942, yet still remains iconic in
the war ("1940s."). The BBC served as a ray of hope to many listeners. It united the public in their sorrow for the war and boosted public morale. The

The final box gives access to the interactive part of the website. From this overview of the home page of the site it is possible to see that the BBC

British history and those that are more global still have a British reference within them. To critically evaluate the site, it is essential to bear in mind
that the BBC will try, as far as possible, to take a unbiased view; if a programme is a general history of a period, such as Andrew Marr's "The
Making of Modern Britain", then the BBC always attributes ownership of the opinion and interpretation to the presenter or writer. The statement "The
BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites" would suggest that they are responsible for their internal sites but who decides on
the site content is not so clear. The home page of BBC History leads to a vast network of topics and other sites. To critically evaluate the whole site

The UK PSB: Broadcasting Influenced by the State
The UK PSB has been in operation since the 1920s, making it one of the longest established in all of Europe (Ofcom, 2006). There is no official
definition for PSB, but authors of Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain, James Curran and Jean Seaton, say
that it "serves the need of democracy" by impartially reporting the news, promoting social inclusion, giving prominence to public affairs, and
"generating content that has cultural value", which means being the main source of cultural resources for society, rather than merely being for profit
(Curran, Seaton, 2010). A general description of the PSB would be "any broadcasting that is influenced by the state" (Henderson, 2009). This includes
the BBC, as well as news and current affairs programming that are required by law to "provide balance" (Henderson, 2009). PSB approaches
broadcasting with the idea that the viewer is not just a consumer, but also a citizen. Programming should be used to promote social and cultural
inclusion, and not just be for entertainment purposes. BBC is not the only network that fits under PSB, but includes ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5,
which all operate within PSB regulation (Henderson, 2009). According to Curran and Seaton without the PSB framework these stations would be
American soap operas, variety shows, game and talk shows, and news would be reserved solely for news bulletins, advertisements would be longer and

Essay on Public Service Broadcasting Within The Plural...
Introduction
British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC] has played its role as a Public Service Broadcasting [PSB] in England since 1926. It was set up on Baron
Reith's hands as an educative media building public's character by establishing and socializing cultural value to the society via its programs. Hitherto,
BBC's work focuses on the cultural connection among the society and plays a role as its guardian rather than pays attention to the diversity among
them (Curran & Seaton, 2003). However, some critiques about its existence started raising in the end of 1980s as the appearance of the Sky Media

Therefore, its operation focuses more on fostering the civilization and democracy rather than to gain revenue. Besides, it also must be willing for a
limited autonomy in its operation since the government has the authority to control its working mechanism.
The core objection of this form of broadcasting is to serve public by providing quality information and facilitating public discourse to enforce
democracy and advance civilization. In term of quality information, PSB plays a role as socio–cultural agent whose duty is to perpetuate the high
culture and raise public awareness as an united national entity. Furthermore, in its role as a discursive arena, PSB exists as a practice of Habermas'
idea of public sphere where public as a political community exercise their freedom of assembly and freedom of information to solve their social
problem as well as to reach an agreement about the 'common good' which is expected to affect the policy in a society (Hauser, 1998).
To guarantee that this democratic function works well, PSB must guarantee that its operation is impartially detached from either state or market
interest. In this case, BBC is a good example.
Since it's mobilization from private company to public corporation, BBC operates as a form of "quangos" (Butsch, 2007) which work as an

Private companies are very similar to independent companies; the only real difference is that private companies can choose their shareholders. Private
companies don't need to meet the strict exchange commission requirements that public companies have to, like having to give a certain percentage of
their income to the government.
Independent companies are companies which work on their own; they can make decision on their own and are free of influence by government or
corporate interests. Independent companies are different to subsidiaries as Independent companies are not owned by any conglomerate. An advantage
of an independent company is that all the money the company makes is its own profit instead of being shared with other companies. A disadvantage of

In case of BBC, we can observe a positive trend. There has been a significant increase in the ratio. However in 2007, the company's current liabilities
were higher than the current assets.But over the next two consecutive years 2008 and 2009, the company's assets were enough to pay off the short
term debts, and this is a positive sign. Talking about the current year 2010, the current ratio is below the benchmark, but the cash reserves are more.
we can see a constant change in the values of current assets in a positive trend for last three years, however, not for the year 2010. Again there has
been increase in current liabilities substantially. This can be one of the reasons for a funding cut of ВЈ340m this year by BBC as George Osborne
confirms the news on Oct 20th 2010.

Another great influence that has provided my life with a lot of ease and that is the invention or the use of computers for trains. An electronic train
time table provides me with quick easy to read access for when and where trains are coming and going when I go out with family or friends to
different parts of England. The major issue with these is there accuracy they can be very inaccurate at times, along with them not working. This
result in mass panic as there is not a reliable back up system to go with this if for some reason it fails. Impact On Friends and Family TV provides
inspiration to my brother who studies music this is due to the subscription service (Sky) offering TV channels like sky arts and other media based
services. This provides him with help in his studies by being able to study certain musicians as well as the channels providing lessons and support
for musicians out there. It also provides help for him to unwind for example it gives him access to entertainment channels where he can watch TV
shows like "Friends". Also TV provides my Mum access to many channels which were unavailable when she was younger and helps her to watch

Equality in the Media Sector
Gender – There cannot be any type of gender discrimination, of either sexes. everyone must be given an equal opportunity, this also goes towards
race and religion. Sexual orientations may be explored, as it has a place in the modern world and need to be represented, especially towards the youth
generation. As with race, any producers or designers should try and avoid stereotypical roles that may offend some viewers, such as a stereotypical
housewife– unless this is necessary for a production, image within a website, ETC. Any legal restrictions that are not followed in the workplace, such
as inappropriateness between colleagues, should be dealt with firmly, to avoid further complications such as resignations from a job or an important
role. An example of this could be a colleague who is unethically/illegally harassing another colleague, without their consent, and this may make the
other colleague feel uncomfortable. This may make the college feel that he/she does not want to pursue the job any longer. This creates further
complications, such as more time spending looking for someone to replace that role. Religion – People have different beliefs and views, so respecting
them is very important. Most models/actors/accesses/designers will try to be open minded whilst being interviewed for a role, but many religious
restrictions may be unavoidable, E.G. a Muslim actress may have very strong beliefs about revealing herself too much in front of men. Producers
should be as

Watching TV Does More Harmful Things To People Than Good...

  • 1. Watching TV Does More Harmful Things to People than Good... Watching TV is an experience that most people do for almost all the time. Some people believe that watching TV does more good things to people than harmful things, but other people say that it does more harmful things to people than good things. The people who say that TV does more harmful things than good things are doctors who know about things that are good and bad in people's health and the people who say that TV is good for you are the people who watch a lot of TV. Since doctors can help cure people and know what is good for people, this would mean that the doctors are correct about TV harming people than the people who watch a lot of TV who believe that TV can do good things to other people. Watching TV does more harmful things to people than good things because it can cause them people to imitate bad behavior on TV, it can cause people to have health problems, and that it can people's time away from doing activities that help them become successful in their life. People who watch a lot of tv think that they are not harmed by the TV but this however is not true. Doctors who know what's good for people say that watching TV can cause a lot of harm to people since it can cause people to have behavior problems and can cause them to not feel well from their health. One way that TV can do more harmful things than good things is that it can cause people who watch a lot of TV to imitate bad behavior on TV. According to KidsHealth.org, it said that "TV ...

  • 2. The Pros And Cons Of Cable By end of 2017, over 15.4 million people in the US will cut their cable. Who can blame them? Cable hasn't evolved in last 80 years and cost of keeping cable is getting expensive every year. Nevertheless, many people are still paying for cable, when we have streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Streaming services are a better alternative to cable because they are cost–effective, more accessible, more convenient, customizable, smarter and they are no commercials. Streaming services cost me about $12 a month including taxes and other fees. In contrast, it cost me approximately $130 per month excluding taxes and other fees. Cable is not getting cheaper any time soon. in this article "Yes, Netflix and Hulu Are Starting to Kill Cable" Stenovec states "The average cable TV bill, not including fees, promotion or taxes, has increased by whopping a 97 percent over the past 14 years, according to the media research firm SNL Kagan. That bill could reach whopping $200 per month by 2020, one study found." Even after paying hundreds of dollars per month, consumers can only watch TV in living room and if they want cable service in other rooms, it will cost them additional money. On the other hand, consumers only need internet to stream content from their favorite streaming site. Also, streaming services are available on smartphones, smart TVs, computers, iPads, tablets and gaming consoles. Which means consumers can stream content anywhere.

  • 3. The Philip Defanco Show For a week I chose to watch and compare The Rachel Maddow Show and The Philip DeFranco Show. I had chosen to compare the two because they are both personality driven news shows, with the similar format of one presenter and a skew towards a liberal political stance. These similarities will allow me to more clearly see a difference in how I consume the content. The format of the show hosted by Maddow, a cable news show on MSNBC , has remained for the most part, static, it could have been produced 30 years ago to the same effect through television. Whereas, DeFranco's show on YouTube would never have been able to exist in its capacity if it were not for the internet. Clearly marking the distinction between old and new media to me. I firstly noted that the news stories which were covering by the two sources were mainly different. While DeFranco skewed more towards pop culture, Maddow was more focused on governmental events. Both however, covered American politics and events. One intersecting story which occurred during the week was that of Elizabeth Warren, the senator who was silenced during a debate on the nomination of... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... YouTube uses a similar model as television, advertisements, but in a completely different form. Creators on YouTube are payed based on views, as the more people watch the content the more advertisers are interested in investing, but this model is fluctuating and unreliable. To build a more sustainable model, many creators turn to alternative forms of revenue. Philip DeFranco, for example, has built a business model on selling merchandise, acquiring his own sponsors and working with a larger multimedia company, Discovery Network. Therefore, in a sense new media is still very much financially reliant on old–media.

  • 4. Essay On BBC Media Coverage This essay will argue that whilst the BBC media coverage of my chosen article has good attributes, there is a lack of extensiveness and some of the information that is presented to the reader is misleading. Throughout this essay I will analyse the original research study and compare the findings to previous research. Secondly, an analysis of the media's article will be conducted, before comparing it the research study. Lastly, I will conclude that the BBC's representation of the study is imprecise and biased as they excluded limitations and misrepresented the method and findings, thus impacting the readers ability to acquire precise and impartial information. Alloway, McCallum, Alloway and Hoicka (2015) recruited participants between the ages of six and seven to assess whether verbal working memory (WM) has a significant influence on verbal deceptive abilities in children. They used an independent groups design to compare the results of verbal and visuospatial WM memory between the experimental condition which had 114 participants and the control condition had 21 participants. The children played a multiple choice trivia game and were categorised as being good liars (GL) or bad liars (BL) based on how they answered entrapment questions, which were used to detect which children looked at the answer when the experimenter wasn't present. Subsequently, the researchers conducted a letter recall task which assessed participant's verbal WM abilities and a shape recall test examined ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This coursework will be divided into three parts. The background and context, the view of both articles i.e. use of languages, headlines, quotes used e.t.c the last part will be my opinion and the conclusion. The main idea is to compare two news articles about a prison called Guantanomo bay in Cubaand how the prisoners are being treated, if the prisoners require a fair trial, if torture is going on and so on. These two articles are gotten from the internet the websites are www.dailymail.co.uk and www.bbc .co.uk. These two sources have different ways of reporting ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The prisoners in guantanomo bay are about 450 from at least 43 different countries. The main reason behind the arrest is to find out if any one or groups of the suspected prisoners had anything to do with the September 11 attack. The Guantanamo bay is outside the US and it has a major difference between all the prisons in US. The difference is that the prison doesn't obey the UN declaration of human rights which is: right for free trial before being sentenced to prison, the right for everyone to be allowed any form of defence.g lawyers during the trial. This two newspaper articles were derived from their websites dailymail.co.uk and bbc.co.uk are giving information on if the prisoners are being tortured. According to the BBC article prisoners do not have any contact with their families, they where just arrested without trial and they are facing interrogations with torture. On the other hand the article from the dailymail says that president bush denies having anything to do with the torture of the prisoners as he claims he didn't other anything of that order. But further in the article some secret white house documents showed us politician Donald rumsfeld in dec.2002 approved harsh interrogation techniques for Taliban and al qaeda prisoners at the us naval base in Guantanamo.

  • 6. Bbc 3's Online Move I am going to talk about the newspaper article 'The guardian' about BBC Three's online move, which is approached by the BBC Trust in a move to save the company ВЈ30m a year. They will expend money on documentaries such as Life and Death Row and long– form– comedy shows like Bad Education and Cuckoo, instead of lighter formats such as Snog, Marry and Avoid. However, this will have an effect on the audience because they will lose BBC viewers. My research shows that BBC Three is currently watched by 11.2 million people every week and it reaches 25% of 16–24 year olds. Moreover, it is currently the only BBC channel watched by 925,000 people in that age group and 80% of which are expected to be lost to the BBC with the closure. This suggests that ...

Especially, if they are behind in watching a soap opera, they might catch up in their free time. However, most soap is always online and people can watch when they want instead of waiting a certain time, which isn't helpful for them. Overall, this has a knock on effect on the number of people watching TV on BBC. Especially, because they rely on the number of views and not the advertising. Therefore, it suggests that due to the fast changing pace of ICT. This has meant that companies should rely on adverts as well put things online to have a higher number of audience. However, the closure of the channel will save about ВЈ30m a year and would save money budget for BBC1. This means that more viewers will switch to watching BBC 1 relying better production or would use the internet. This is because teenagers these days rely on downloading apps and watching BBC I player. Therefore, BBC are trying to put better content online to ensure they have high views.

  • 7. Bbc Leadership 1.Leadership is affecting others to reach a common goal. BMCM Bill James (ret.) most definitely affected me and my fellow shipmates as we served together on CGC COCHITO in 2005. Similarly, I had another Officer In Charge (OIC), my first OIC, who had a profound effect on the crew. The difference being, however, was that BMCM James had a very positive influence, whereas the other OIC did not. The influence of these two leaders, among several others, has helped to shape me as a leader and my leadership philosophy. 2.It is often said that much can be learned by working for a bad leader; my first OIC proved this to be true. This OIC was overly flexible when enforcing policies, unpredictable in decision–making and points of emphasis, and detached from the day to day operations at the unit. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Finally, I need to improve on showing others how their long–term interest can be reached by enlisting in a common vision. At my current unit, by virtue of our location, we are often tasked with what is not so affectionately termed 'dog and pony' shows. We frequently take VIPs, foreign military officials and dignitaries, and domestic governmental officials on boat rides to facilitate their knowledge, experience, and good will with the Coast Guard. At times, these events are viewed by my crew as unimportant, or worse, the crew believes these events infer our leadership lacks respect of our primary mission. I need to be more cognizant of my crew's frustration and my reaction to it. I need to do a better job of finding the balance between respecting their frustration and encouraging them to see the bigger picture, thusly gaining their buy–in of the common vision. These 'dog and pony' shows provide great value to the Coast Guard. While it is understandable the crew becomes jaded, I cannot fuel their frustration by continuing to give it credence.

  • 8. Examples Of I Am Malala After reading the book ''I Am Malala'' I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen–year–old girl who got shot because she fought for women's rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential. One of the reasons why Malala is a hero because she shows courage and bravery through her actions.

Jerry Springer : The Opera In this essay I will assess and explore the BBC's decision to broadcast "Jerry Springer: The Opera" broadcasted on 8 January 2005, by drawing on Utilitarianism and Kantianism theories. Background "Jerry Springer : The Opera" is a British musical written by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas (Freud, 2003). The opera is based on the famous American chat show which has been running since 1991 and is still a very popular television show to this date (A&E Television Networks, 2015). The first time the musical was staged was at the Edinburgh Festival on '7 August 2002' (Wikipedia, 2009) and due to its popularity it became a fully staged production at the end of 2002 (Freud 2003). The producers then moved the show to The National Theatre in London on 30 September 2003 (Freud, 2003). When the musical became very successful it was then decided to move the production to the West End, London later in 2003 (Baldock, 2004). One of the reasons the public and critics complained profusely was because of very bad language from the start. The opera has more than 400 curse words (Thorpe, 2005), a grown man is dressed in a nappy (who is meant to be Jesus later) and one of the guests on the show is cheating on his partner with a woman who likes to dress up as a little girl (Wikipedia, 2009), which is a typical situation on the television show.

This can make it more difficult for BBC WW to see programing in cultures that are not fans of the British culture.

Lessons learnt from this programme will be extracted, and it will be assessed whether the BBC is ultimately working towards its Value for Money and Quality First Strategy, through the implementation of its estate programme. 1.INTRODUCTION (335) The British Broadcasting Corporation also known as the BBC, is one of the oldest public broadcasting companies in the world. Funding its operation mainly through licence fees paid by the public (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2016), the BBC and its Trust have the responsibility of spending public funds efficiently and ensuring public value and appeal (BBC Trust, 2016). Throughout its history the BBC has attempted to become more cost effective. Since the launch of the producer choice strategy in 1993 (Felix, 2000), it has been argued that to achieve this they have battled not only the issues of managerial bureaucracy (Harris et al., 2006), but also the inherent costs of adapting its infrastructure to new broadcasting technologies (Wegg–Prosser, 2001).

The book which we see at the start dissolves from one shot to another; in this case it dissolves from the book to Pip running to the churchyard. The narrative (voice–over) gives a wide perspective. When Pip is running to the churchyard there is a long shot used, this long shot makes Pip look small and vulnerable. The first things we see in the long shot are the gibbets where the convicts are hanged; this tells us that Pip is in a dangerous and isolated place. Then the camera shot is in the graveyard, where the creepy sound effects such as the trees creaking and the wind whistling come into play. The scenery is very spine–chilling in the graveyard. The wind gets louder as Pip gets more tense and the tree creeks just before the convict arrives so the entrance is made more dramatic. We see a tree from Pips eyes this makes him look very small and vulnerable. We also hear an owl hoot again just before the convict arrives, this hoot acts like a warning to Pip that he is in danger. It is an effective technique used by David Lean uses with the owl hooting just before the convict arrives because an owl represents danger in many stories.

Commercial television is entertaining, educating and informative and tries to fulfil viewer's wishes of what they want to watch. British audience has been able to choose what they watch since 1954, when government published the Act of Television which allowed the creation of the first independent television in the United Kingdom.

Lord Reith summed up the general attitude of BBC's management to television when he told that 'television will be of no importance in your lifetime or mine' (Williams, 2010:144). General opinion in the BBC was that television would not become as successful as radio. As well as BBC management, government did not find television being as important as radio. On the contrary to the BBC's management, there were people who saw future in commercial television. One of those people was Norman Collins who became a director general of Independent Television who left the BBC and started to campaign commercial television (Crisell, 1997: 78). BBC's broadcasting developing slowly because of the shortage of technical knowledge which gave a reason for government to legitimize commercial television which would also give jobs many advertisers and television people. Commercial television campaign was also able to persuade the government that competition would make television better as companies had to give their best to make the viewer to watch their channel. Another reason which made commercial lobby successful, was the circumstance that important members of government including the Prime Minister, Churchill, were not prepared to defend the BBC (Curran, Seaton, 2010:154).

Also, Consumers have the freedom to watch anything from the streaming services diverse content catalog, and they can rate and write a review of the shows and movies. Also, consumers can conserve their favorite shows and movies in my list section to watch it later. "Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon also offer far more than cable does.

  • 30. Essay on Sir John Reith Sir John Reith Sir John Reith was the first Director General of the BBC, and he had particularly strong views on broadcasting as having a cultural and moral responsibility as a means of educating and informing the masses. He once famously stated – 'It is occasionally indicated to us that we are apparently setting out to give the public what we think they need– and not what they want – but few know what they want and very few what they need. In any case it is better to overestimate the mentality of the public than to underestimate it. He who prides himself on giving what he thinks the public wants is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The idea of the BBC as a public service meant that the provision should be public goods rather than a private commodity (Curran, 2000). The funding of the service was based upon the license fee and their agreement with parliament, and this was decided when it was felt that advertising could limit the number of programmes they would be able to broadcast. They maintained the view that 'our responsibility is to carry into the greatest possible number of homes, everything that is best in every department of human knowledge, endeavour, or achievement' (cited in Smith, 1998). That the BBC kept a firm degree of independence from the government was always at the forefront of Reith's aims, and the fact that it also gained a reputation for its impartiality meant that it came to be, and to some extent, still is a respected institution throughout the world. Nowadays, the BBC still pride themselves on being 'free of commercial interests and political bias' (2002). During his reign on the BBC throne, Reith came under much criticism on his views of overestimating the mentality of the public, and providing a service that contained the matters that he thought should be most important to society. He was often accused of being elitist in his approach to programming policy. Many of the working class began to feel alienated by the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Director General Tony Hall warned that BBC4 could be next to go, if further cuts were made to the BBC's funding . There have also been calls to introduce a subscription model for the BBC, which has been firmly rejected by the corporation. The BBC warned that a subscription model could be exclusionary to those unable to afford to pay. Their refusal to enter into a subscription based system may be justified, as Sky, the UK's first subscription based model announced a target of 10 million homes in 2004, the target was only reached in 2010, as subscriber numbers elsewhere in europe started to plateau.

  • 32. British Broadcasting Research Paper The British Broadcasting Corporation is synonymous with British culture and is one of the most beloved broadcasting corporations in the world today. Founded in 1922 by Scottish engineer John Reith, the BBC's philosophy has remained the same throughout almost a century. John Reith was the BBC's general manager when it was created in 1922 and its director general in 1927 when it became a public corporation ("John Reith."). Reith felt as he had a duty to improve England. He believed that broadcasting should be held to the highest standards and guided by responsibility.

By 1946, the BBC staff had more than doubled (Cain 42–43). In mid–1940, the BBC's news readers started identifying themselves so listeners could be certain they were hearing BBC news. Yorkshireman Wilfred Pickles became a legendary reporter with his distinctive northern accent ("1940s.") Not even the headquarters of the BBC was spared during the vicious war. On October 15th, 1941, a German bomb hit the Broadcasting House. Seven people died in the blast. Bruce Belfage, who was reading the nine o'clock news at the time, continued as if nothing had occurred, despite being covered in grime. ("1940s.") In 1941, the BBC also started its V for Victory campaign. V stood for victory in English, French, and Flemish. Audience members were asked to write Vs everywhere they could to represent victory for Allied forces. Unfortunately, Germany used the V for Victory against Britain to represent an ancient German war cry, 'Viktoria'. The BBC campaign was dismantled in 1942, yet still remains iconic in the war ("1940s."). The BBC served as a ray of hope to many listeners. It united the public in their sorrow for the war and boosted public morale.

The final box gives access to the interactive part of the website. From this overview of the home page of the site it is possible to see that the BBC is attempting to appeal to a wide audience but it is also keeping its emphasis on its home market; the majority of the topics covered are related to British history and those that are more global still have a British reference within them. To critically evaluate the site, it is essential to bear in mind that the BBC will try, as far as possible, to take a unbiased view; if a programme is a general history of a period, such as Andrew Marr's "The Making of Modern Britain", then the BBC always attributes ownership of the opinion and interpretation to the presenter or writer. The statement "The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites" would suggest that they are responsible for their internal sites but who decides on the site content is not so clear. The home page of BBC History leads to a vast network of topics and other sites.

  • 34. The UK PSB: Broadcasting Influenced by the State The UK PSB has been in operation since the 1920s, making it one of the longest established in all of Europe (Ofcom, 2006). There is no official definition for PSB, but authors of Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain, James Curran and Jean Seaton, say that it "serves the need of democracy" by impartially reporting the news, promoting social inclusion, giving prominence to public affairs, and "generating content that has cultural value", which means being the main source of cultural resources for society, rather than merely being for profit (Curran, Seaton, 2010). A general description of the PSB would be "any broadcasting that is influenced by the state" (Henderson, 2009). This includes the BBC, as well as news and current affairs programming that are required by law to "provide balance" (Henderson, 2009). PSB approaches broadcasting with the idea that the viewer is not just a consumer, but also a citizen. Programming should be used to promote social and cultural inclusion, and not just be for entertainment purposes. BBC is not the only network that fits under PSB, but includes ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, which all operate within PSB regulation (Henderson, 2009). According to Curran and Seaton without the PSB framework these stations would be American soap operas, variety shows, game and talk shows, and news would be reserved solely for news bulletins, advertisements would be longer and more frequent and more and more programming ...

  • 35. Essay on Public Service Broadcasting Within The Plural... Introduction British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC] has played its role as a Public Service Broadcasting [PSB] in England since 1926. It was set up on Baron Reith's hands as an educative media building public's character by establishing and socializing cultural value to the society via its programs. Hitherto, BBC's work focuses on the cultural connection among the society and plays a role as its guardian rather than pays attention to the diversity among them (Curran & Seaton, 2003). However, some critiques about its existence started raising in the end of 1980s as the appearance of the Sky Media commercial–satellite television company which gave larger opportunity for public to choose what they want to see. Recently, one of the most... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Therefore, its operation focuses more on fostering the civilization and democracy rather than to gain revenue. Besides, it also must be willing for a limited autonomy in its operation since the government has the authority to control its working mechanism. The core objection of this form of broadcasting is to serve public by providing quality information and facilitating public discourse to enforce democracy and advance civilization. In term of quality information, PSB plays a role as socio–cultural agent whose duty is to perpetuate the high culture and raise public awareness as an united national entity. Furthermore, in its role as a discursive arena, PSB exists as a practice of Habermas' idea of public sphere where public as a political community exercise their freedom of assembly and freedom of information to solve their social problem as well as to reach an agreement about the 'common good' which is expected to affect the policy in a society (Hauser, 1998). To guarantee that this democratic function works well, PSB must guarantee that its operation is impartially detached from either state or market interest. In this case, BBC is a good example. Since it's mobilization from private company to public corporation, BBC operates as a form of "quangos" (Butsch, 2007) which work as an independent organisation playing a governmental role.

Private companies are very similar to independent companies; the only real difference is that private companies can choose their shareholders. Private companies don't need to meet the strict exchange commission requirements that public companies have to, like having to give a certain percentage of their income to the government. Independent companies are companies which work on their own; they can make decision on their own and are free of influence by government or corporate interests. Independent companies are different to subsidiaries as Independent companies are not owned by any conglomerate. An advantage of an independent company is that all the money the company makes is its own profit instead of being shared with other companies.

However in 2007, the company's current liabilities were higher than the current assets.But over the next two consecutive years 2008 and 2009, the company's assets were enough to pay off the short term debts, and this is a positive sign. Talking about the current year 2010, the current ratio is below the benchmark, but the cash reserves are more. we can see a constant change in the values of current assets in a positive trend for last three years, however, not for the year 2010.

Equality in the Media Sector Gender – There cannot be any type of gender discrimination, of either sexes. everyone must be given an equal opportunity, this also goes towards race and religion. Sexual orientations may be explored, as it has a place in the modern world and need to be represented, especially towards the youth generation. As with race, any producers or designers should try and avoid stereotypical roles that may offend some viewers, such as a stereotypical housewife– unless this is necessary for a production, image within a website, ETC. Any legal restrictions that are not followed in the workplace, such as inappropriateness between colleagues, should be dealt with firmly, to avoid further complications such as resignations from a job or an important role. An example of this could be a colleague who is unethically/illegally harassing another colleague, without their consent, and this may make the other colleague feel uncomfortable. This may make the college feel that he/she does not want to pursue the job any longer. This creates further complications, such as more time spending looking for someone to replace that role. Religion – People have different beliefs and views, so respecting them is very important.
