Media economics is a field that has grown over the past 40 years as scholars have applied economic theories and principles to study media industries and companies. It involves microeconomic analysis of media firms as well as macroeconomic analysis of media policies and regulations. Key developments in media economics include early studies in the 1950s examining industry structures and competition. The field draws on microeconomic theories like the industrial organization model but could be expanded by incorporating more macroeconomic theories and developing new theories to analyze the dynamic media landscape. Issues going forward include improving methods of measuring competition and developing broader theoretical frameworks.
Social media allows for participatory culture where users can act as both consumers and producers by contributing content. Examples include editing Wikipedia, uploading photos to Facebook, and creating videos for YouTube. Participatory culture enables digital labor where people make online content for free but get paid through large followings. It also allows for social media capitalism where platforms themselves make money through ads and help other companies profit from user data and promotions. Social media increases connectivity while allowing easy sharing of opinions and ideas.

The hypodermic needle theory proposed in the 1930s suggested that mass media had a direct, powerful, and immediate effect on passive audiences. It was based on the assumptions of the time when radio and films were the only media and all received the same messages. During World War II, the theory was supported by the Nazi use of propaganda to influence the German public. However, the theory is now largely disregarded because media and audiences have changed dramatically with new technologies allowing people more choice and interaction with information. While outdated, the hypodermic needle theory was an early attempt to understand media effects.
Media regulation aims to protect the public in three main ways: regulating content, access/distribution, and ownership. It has evolved from strict censorship to a more liberal classification system. Debate remains around balancing freedom of speech with protection, and whether regulation effectively prevents harm or merely restricts choice. New technologies challenge traditional regulators to control unclassified online content.
This Power Point Presentation is about the Normative Theory of the Press, which focused on the Libertarian Theory as part of Media and Information Literacy. It talks about the meaning, examples, strengths and weaknesses of the libertarian theory.
Mean world syndrome refers to the theory that heavy television viewers believe the world is more dangerous than it actually is due to the violence they see portrayed on television. Heavy viewers are more likely than light viewers to overestimate their risk of being victims of crime and feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. Research has found that heavy television viewing is associated with increased fearfulness, distrust of others, and pessimism about society. To overcome mean world syndrome, reducing television consumption can help alleviate the distorted views of reality and negativity that frequent viewing may cultivate.
The document discusses various frameworks for conducting a situation analysis for advertising planning, including the 5Cs analysis, SWOT analysis, Porter's 5 forces model, AIDA model, DAGMAR model, and hierarchy of effects model.

It also discusses how to define advertising objectives and target audiences, and the importance of brand personality in positioning strategy. The planning process involves situation analysis, objective setting, targeting, strategy development, implementation, and evaluation.
The document discusses how social media and the internet have changed the political landscape and democratic processes. It outlines how politicians now embrace platforms like Facebook and YouTube to engage citizens, how citizens can use social media to discuss issues, communicate with politicians, and organize activism. Examples are given of Barack Obama's successful 2008 social media campaign and how social media was used in the UK 2010 election debates and Arab Spring uprisings to facilitate activism and drive political change.
The theory talks about the relationship between minority and majority of people and how they express themselves. It proves minority people keep silent on their views on any particular subject.
The Spiral of Silence theory, proposed by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, explains that people are less likely to express opinions that are in the minority for fear of isolation. They have a sense of the prevailing public opinion and remain silent if their views diverge from the majority to avoid social isolation and reprisal. Over time, as minority opinions are suppressed, the majority view dominates public discourse in a "spiral" effect.
