This document discusses what makes crime news interesting to readers and how it is portrayed in the media. It argues that crime news serves to reinforce readers' moral sensibilities by focusing on crimes that evoke emotion, like assaults on people rather than property. It also finds that media disproportionately covers white-collar crimes committed by elites more than common crimes. The document concludes that crime reporting often reflects existing social and political tensions, and functions as a ritual for readers to express moral outrage rather than focus on the crimes themselves.

7 Media Representations of Crime
The media loves crime stories and uses them extensively to increase circulation and profits. Newspaper coverage of rape cases increased significantly from 1951 to 1985. However, media coverage often distorts the picture of crime by focusing on extreme cases perpetrated by strangers, when in reality victims often know the perpetrator.
Crime Reporting
This document discusses how crime news is reported in the media. It notes that media's roles are to inform, entertain, and educate audiences. Crime reporting focuses on hard news and sensationalism due to competition for viewers/readers. Crime shows are popular, and media often reenacts crimes or portrays stereotypes. Reporting methods can influence criminal behavior and stereotypes through imitation or glamorizing crime. Laws and ethics provide some guidelines for objective and responsible reporting, though these are not always followed, especially on social media.
Challenges of Ethical Issues in Pakistani Media
The document discusses various ethical issues faced in media, including plagiarism, payola, conflict of interest, withholding information, deceit, and invasion of privacy. It provides examples for each issue. Plagiarism includes passing off another's work as one's own or not properly attributing sources. Payola involves giving gifts or bribes to influence coverage. Conflict of interest arises when a reporter's ideology clashes with the story they are reporting on. Withholding information means not sharing details the audience should know. Deceit involves misrepresenting the truth to mislead audiences. Invasion of privacy unjustifiably exposes someone's private life without consent.
What is news?
News must be factual, recent, and interesting to readers. It should provide balanced coverage of important events and prominent figures while avoiding subjective opinions. Different types of news can appeal to readers through elements like proximity, consequence, prominence, drama, conflict, emotions, and impact on people's lives. Accuracy, objectivity, conciseness and clarity are important principles for journalists.
Sensationalism in journalism
Sensationalism has existed in news media since humans began sharing stories, often focusing on sex and violence. While some see sensationalism as undermining quality journalism, others argue it fulfills important cultural functions by spreading information and strengthening social bonds. Sensational stories attract large audiences, putting pressure on journalists to produce sensational content to please advertisers, yet risk providing an uninformed public. To avoid sensationalism, freelance writers must distinguish objective journalism from attention-grabbing stories lacking full context or accuracy, and use representative anecdotes to support statistical claims rather than outlier examples.
Sensationalism in News (Pakistan and India)
The document discusses sensationalism in Pakistani media. It defines sensationalism as a style of reporting news that uses fear, anger, and excitement to increase viewership and profits rather than providing accurate information. The document argues that Pakistani media frequently focuses on superficial or sensational details of stories rather than broader issues.

0.1. introduction Quiz
This document contains questions from a quiz on media and politics in 2017. It discusses key concepts such as the difference between general media and artificial/technological media, media determinism perspectives that technology primarily drives social change, how media texts represent rather than mirror the world through choices in production, the differences between mediation which refers to media being the dominant communication channel and mediatization which is the process of political communication becoming increasingly adapted to media logic. It also summarizes that Hoskins and O'Loughlin refer to "diffused war" as the conduct of war becoming mediatized through new non-state actors using media and reports potentially delegitimizing government actions, making the consequences and relations between actions less predictable.
3.2. Terrorism Quiz
Terrorism aims to reach audiences through the media by creating sensational events that attract media coverage. The relationship between terrorists and the media is described as "symbiotic" - media coverage amplifies the terrorists' power and message, while terrorist acts provide the media with attention-grabbing stories. A concentric model of terror effects depicts the direct impact at the core event, local media coverage, and then global media coverage reaching distant audiences. The internet empowers modern terrorists by allowing loosely connected networks to communicate, recruit, radicalize, fundraise, and conduct cyberattacks on a global scale.

Codes of ethics in journalism
Codes of ethics are meant to guide journalists and ensure truth, accuracy, impartiality and other standards. They help journalists deal with ethical dilemmas and provide accountability. The codes emphasize getting facts right, presenting all sides, maintaining credibility, and correcting errors. Case studies show how codes can be applied, such as protecting sources in the Watergate story or deciding whether to publish a decades-old accusation before an election. Overall, codes are intended to support ethical journalism and avoid issues like paid news or unnecessary religious provocation.

Examples are provided for each value.
The emotional politics of Donald Trump
Keynote speech at Political Studies Association Media Politics Group meeting, University of Hull, November 2017
News basics
News is difficult to define as it has many variables. News must be factual but not all facts are news, and it may include opinions of authorities. There are two main types of news: hard news which is important and timely, often about government or politics, and soft news which entertains and appeals more to emotions. For a story to be considered news, it must be factual, interesting to readers, and recent. Reporters aim for objectivity and balance by including all significant details.
Beat Reporting
- The science reporting beat has declined sharply in newspapers over the past few decades, with many papers dropping their dedicated science sections or reducing science coverage. Only about 10% of newspaper editors view science reporting as very essential.
- This is occurring as public interest in science remains high and the topics science covers are increasingly complex, raising ethical issues. However, newspapers face economic pressures and have shifted resources to other beats. Specialized science media now play a larger role in science communication.
The concept of news
The concept of news has existed since early human societies, where people would exchange local information at weekly markets or in letters. News was communicated through word of mouth until the development of newspapers, radio, and television. Even with new technologies, the basic definition of news relies on identifying newsworthy events or changes and their importance and impact. Nowadays, online newspaper websites have become a strong source of immediate news for people with busy lifestyles.
Daily Show and Political Knowledge
The study examined the effects of exposure to The Daily Show on political learning and information seeking. It found that for less politically interested viewers, exposure to political issues through comedy programs like The Daily Show was associated with increased attention to those issues in other hard news media, supporting the "gateway hypothesis". Two studies showed those with low political interest spent more time seeking information on issues first exposed through comedy compared to hard news or mixed clips. However, political comedy was more likely to produce issue recognition versus recall of details, suggesting its limitations for political learning. The role of political comedy in democracy was discussed.
U3.LP6: Media Bias
The lesson focused on analyzing political media and its influence. Students learned how to examine clips for bias, understand the message being conveyed, and consider how the clip aims to shape public opinion. They practiced this by analyzing several video clips and discussing how the media can both positively and negatively impact politics through influencing voters and officials.
The centrality of emotion in journalism

why americans hate the media
1) In the mid-20th century, the mainstream media like newspapers and network news were highly trusted institutions in America, with over 60% of Americans viewing them as fair. However, trust in the media has sharply declined, with only around 10% having a great deal of confidence in the national news media today.
2) As the media landscape has expanded to include more partisan outlets, the mainstream media has faced increasing criticism and now struggles to compete against less conventional news sources. Journalists are also much less trusted by the public than in the past.
3) Many commentators lament the declining role and influence of the mainstream media, arguing that a powerful media establishment free from criticism once served as an important check
Reporting Crime : Tools and Tips
This document provides guidance on crime reporting for journalists. It discusses the importance of crime reporting, types of crimes, sources for crime stories, and elements to include in different types of crime stories. Some key points:
- Crime reporting teaches essential journalism skills like digging for stories, interviewing, and writing under deadline pressure. Specialist crime reporters focus solely on crime.
- Readers are interested in crime for reasons like understanding why crimes happen, how laws are enforced, and because criminal acts are unusual events.
- When reporting crimes, journalists should provide reliable information to counter rumors, explain police activity, and tell human-interest stories about victims.
- Common sources for crime stories include the police, hospitals
Crime & Journalists Presentation
Journalists must balance their duty to report the truth with sensitivity when covering crime. They consider newsworthiness based on the seriousness, unusual nature, community size, and identity of the criminal or victim. The Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics guides journalists to seek truth, minimize harm, act independently, and be accountable. When reporting on crime, journalists should objectively tell the truth, respect sources' privacy, avoid conflicts of interest, and not sensationalize while countering rumors with reliable information.
How opinion polls work
This document provides guidelines for journalists on appropriately reporting opinion polls. It discusses [1] determining whether a poll meets professional standards, [2] deciding if a poll's findings have newsworthiness, and [3] the appropriate way to publish poll findings. Key points include checking a poll's methodology, sample size, and margin of error; using polls to enhance issues coverage rather than set the agenda; and providing full context and disclosure when publishing poll results. The guidelines aim to help journalists identify valid, reliable polls and determine the most meaningful way to communicate poll findings to their audience.
1.3. Witnessing and Memory (Quiz)
1. News organizations act as gatekeepers by deciding which events to cover and exclude from coverage. This gatekeeping role gives them the power to shape public awareness and priorities, known as agenda setting.
2. Witnesses to events, like wars, share their stories through established media or their own channels. Audiences then become active witnesses by discussing and sharing the stories they hear.
3. Witnessing does not necessarily mean being objective, as witnesses like journalists and those directly involved may have biases. Their credibility depends more on appearing trustworthy since we cannot control for their objectivity.
The Five Principles of Ethical Journalism

Expected to earn his journalism degree in the spring of 2019, Ben L. Schwartz is currently seeking summer internship opportunities in the Chicago metropolitan area.
News Elements
The document outlines six key elements that determine newsworthiness: timeliness, proximity, prominence, oddity, consequence, and conflict. Stories are more newsworthy if they are most recent, close to readers, involve prominent people, are strange or unusual, have important consequences, or involve conflict between individuals. Human interest stories that elicit an emotional response from readers can also be newsworthy.
The concept behind news
This document discusses different types of news. Soft news includes feature stories that aim to entertain rather than just inform, covering topics like human interest, art, and health. Hard news contains important factual information on politics, business, conflicts, and crimes that aims to inform readers. For a story to be considered news worthy, it must meet certain criteria like being timely, proximate, having impact or involving celebrities/powerful people.
Elements of good multimedia story telling
This document provides guidance on elements of good multimedia storytelling. It discusses combining different media like video, photos, audio, and graphics to tell a more complete story. Each medium has strengths - video to show action, photos to capture emotion, audio for ambient sounds or compelling quotes, and graphics to illustrate complex processes or data. Examples are given of news outlets that effectively blend media like a slideshow of abandoned foreclosed homes or personal audio accounts of living with medical conditions. The key is including different mini-stories in the most appropriate media to connect all parts of the multimedia story.

Physical Issues in Society: Suicide, Domestic Violence and Crime
This document discusses various physical issues in society including suicide, domestic violence, and crime. It provides statistics showing that 1.2 million people commit suicide each year with 60% being young adults. The suicide rates in the Philippines are among the lowest in Asia. Domestic violence is defined as a pattern of abusive behavior that can include physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Physical abuse affects 1 in 5 women aged 15-49 and sexual abuse impacts 1 in 10 women in that age range. Crime is defined as any violation of criminal law that is formally penalized by a government. Organized crime involves criminal groups regulating illegal activities while petty crime involves less serious offenses.
Basics of News Writing
News writing provides important information to readers in an organized structure. It follows an inverted pyramid structure, flowing from most important to least important information. The headline, byline, lead, and body are the main components of a news story. The lead captures the key details in one to two sentences to interest readers. The body then provides additional context and quotes while maintaining short paragraphs and simple language. Proper use of attribution, transitions, and grammar are important for clarity and readability. The overall goal is to concisely yet engagingly inform readers of essential details in the clearest manner.
CRIMINOLOGY: An Introduction and Overview

Theories of crime (criminology)
This document provides an overview of theories that attempt to explain criminal behavior. It discusses classical, neoclassical, and positivist criminological theories. Classical theory views criminal behavior as resulting from free will and aims to achieve deterrence through punishment. Neoclassical theory introduced factors like premeditation and diminished responsibility. Positivist theories view human behavior as determined and see criminals as fundamentally different. Biological theories propose innate physiological differences between criminals and non-criminals. Psychological theories explore factors like intelligence, psychoanalysis, and humanistic perspectives. Sociological theories emphasize social and environmental influences on behavior. Theories discussed include anomie, collective conscience, and the work of the Chicago School studying neighborhood crime rates.

Chapter 14 The Culture of Journalism
The document discusses the culture of journalism and how it has changed with new technologies. It covers several topics:
1. Journalism has cut back on investigative reporting due to budget cuts. Neutrality used to be valued but partisanship is rising, especially online and on cable news.
2. News media face ethical dilemmas around deception, privacy invasions, and conflicts of interest. Journalists also struggle with balancing objectivity with advocacy.
3. New technologies like television and the internet have disrupted traditional print journalism and blurred lines between mediums. Visuals now play a larger role. Alternative models like public journalism aim to better serve democracy.
Crime and deviance and the media
The document discusses how the media portrays crime and can influence perceptions of crime. It covers how the media overrepresents certain types of crimes while underrepresenting others. This leads the media to paint a distorted picture of crime that does not reflect reality. The document also explores how the media may contribute to causing crime through imitation, desensitization, transmitting criminal knowledge, and stimulating desires. However, most studies find the media has at most a small influence and crime is influenced more strongly by other social factors.
Crime and deviance and the media
The document discusses how the media portrays crime and can influence perceptions of crime. It notes that the media tends to overrepresent violent crimes and underrepresent more common property crimes. This creates a distorted view of crime among the public. The media also plays a role in moral panics by sensationalizing certain issues and groups, which can amplify fears about crime. Fictional crime representations also tend to exaggerate violence and follow stereotypical portrayals rather than reflect reality.
Wk. 1 News and Newsworthiness
Millennials are still strong news consumers but get their news through social media like Facebook rather than traditional sources. Elements of newsworthiness include timeliness, prominence, proximity, consequence, oddity, conflict, and emotion. However, outside factors like advertising influence and racial biases also impact newsworthiness. In the digital age, participatory and shareable news are rising in importance, challenging traditional standards of newsworthiness.
C13 - News, Gathering & Report
This chapter discusses news gathering and reporting in the digital age. It covers the main theories of the press, qualities that characterize news, types of news stories, and how digital technologies have impacted news media. The chapter also describes the news business, reporting process, news flow, role of the Associated Press wire service, and similarities/differences between print, broadcast and online journalism.
Crime
Crime is defined as deviant behavior that violates accepted laws or rules. Sociologists study crime using theories like differential association theory, control theory, and routine activities theory. Differential association theory suggests people are more likely to commit crimes if they associate with groups that view crime positively. Control theory proposes people refrain from crime if they feel bound to their society. Routine activities theory states crime depends on opportunities that bring offenders, targets, and lack of guardians together. Sociologists examine crime patterns among age, gender, race, social class, and ethnicity groups to better understand who commits crimes and why. Understanding the sociology of crime allows societies to develop solutions that prevent criminal behavior and recidivism.
Do Liberal Stereotypes of the National News Media Hold Up to Scrutiny
1) The analysis found that news media is dominated by hard news rather than soft news, contradicting the hypothesis. Only one news source, Good Morning America, had more soft than hard news.
2) Newspapers had the highest ratio of hard to soft news, supporting the second hypothesis. Newspapers' ratio was 4.86:1 hard to soft news.
3) The ratio for liberal news sources was higher than conservative sources, supporting part of the third hypothesis. However, conservative news was found to be dominated by hard rather than soft news, contradicting another part of the hypothesis.
9 .journalism
Journalism has evolved over centuries from handwritten bulletins in ancient Rome to the modern practices of verifying and reporting news. The development of printing, railroads, and technologies like computers have enabled the spread of information. While most online communication is not journalism, journalism provides a valuable service by verifying facts and providing context through disciplined reporting. The elements of journalism include pursuing truth, prioritizing citizens, verifying information, maintaining independence, serving as a watchdog, and allowing debate. New technologies have increased the speed of reporting while also lowering barriers to publishing and giving more voices a platform.

Routine activity theory
Abstract:
Using data from 200 high school students, age 16-18 years, we examined the associations between components of routine activity theory and vulnerability to cyber victimization. In particular, we focused on whether engaging in certain online activities increased one’s ‘target suitability’ as a potential victim and also, how parental supervision helped increase or decrease such ‘suitability’ online so as for one to fall prey to cyber victimization, as hypothesized in the RAT. The results showed that victims and non-victims differed only on the components of target suitability and parental supervision. The present research successfully provides support for the applicability of the routine activity theory in studying the phenomenon of cyber victimization across males and females. Additionally, questions are raised about revamping the Routine Activity Theory in light of the ever increasing technological advancements and awareness of cybercrimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Framing Theory and Gang Culture- Comparing At-Risk Youths’ Perception of Gang...
Framing Theory and Gang Culture- Comparing At-Risk Youths’ Perception of Gang...Anakaren Cárdenas Ureño
This document discusses framing theory and how gang culture is portrayed in media versus how at-risk youth perceive gangs. It reviews literature on how media frames issues and events using techniques like episodic framing. Media coverage of gangs often focuses on criminal acts and portrays gang members as violent through headlines and images. However, this framing may not accurately capture the human experiences and contexts of gang involvement. The paper aims to compare at-risk youth perspectives on gangs to media depictions by conducting interviews.Media Bias Research Paper
The document discusses media bias and its effects. It argues that most news outlets have their own agendas that result in omitting some truths from stories. People often only hear one side of stories and believe what they are told without considering potential biases. This can create divides between people who consume different media and cause them to become entrenched in their own beliefs. The document advocates for people being more discerning about where they get their information and whether it can be fully trusted.
Week 7.2 political communication
This document discusses political communication and the role of mass media in a democratic society. It covers how democracy originated in ancient Greece and how political communication is now transmitted through mass media. It evaluates whether political information available to citizens is useful, sufficient, and trustworthy. The document also discusses how media can act as a watchdog on government or collaborate with government. Additionally, it addresses how media covers political leaders and issues around privacy. The role of media in terrorism and advocating for minority groups is debated. Standards for evaluating political messages are provided.
Introduction To Architectural Journalism
Journalism involves gathering, assessing, and presenting verified information to citizens in order to help them make better decisions. It is distinguished from other communications by practices like systematic fact-checking and transparency about sources and methods. The primary goals of journalism are to seek truth, serve the public, and act as a watchdog on those in power. Journalists maintain independence and represent all groups in society to provide a forum for open discussion and informed decision-making.
What makes a news story newsworthy
This document discusses what makes a news story newsworthy according to media researchers Johan Galtung and Marie Holmboe Ruge. They analyzed international news stories and identified news values that influenced whether a story received widespread coverage. These news values were organized into three categories: impact, audience identification, and pragmatics of media coverage. Impact factors included the number of people affected, frequency or suddenness of an event, negativity, unexpectedness, and clarity. Audience identification considered personalization, meaningfulness to the audience, and references to elite nations and persons. Pragmatics of coverage examined consonance with media expectations, continuity of ongoing stories, and variety in story composition.

CRIME IN THE STREETS: THE BIG
PICTURE
Victimologists gather and interpret data to answer
questions such as: How many people are harmed by
criminals each year? How rapidly are the ranks of
people who have suffered misfortunes growing?
And, a matter of particular concern, which groups
are targeted the most and the least often? Research-
ers want to find out where and when the majority
of crimes occur, whether predators on the prowl
intimidate and subjugate their prey with their bare
hands or use weapons, and if so, what kinds? Victi-
mologists also want to determine whether indivi-
duals are attacked by complete strangers or people
they know, and how these intended targets act
when confronted by assailants. What proportion
try to escape or fight back, how many are injured,
what percentage need to be hospitalized, and how
much money do they typically lose in an incident?
The answers to basic questions like these, when
taken together, constitute what can be termed the
big picture—an overview of what is really happen-
ing across the United States during the twenty-first
century. The big picture serves as an antidote to
impressions based on direct but limited personal
experiences, as well as self-serving reports circulated
by organizations with vested interests, misleading
media images, crude stereotypes, and widely held
myths. But putting toge ...
475 2015 constructing the news up
This document discusses several topics related to news media and public opinion, including:
1. Traditional definitions of fair and neutral news reporting rely on official sources and presenting two sides to stories, which can oversimplify complex issues.
2. News coverage tends to focus on novel, dramatic stories involving conflict and personalities rather than complex policy issues or systemic problems. This shapes public attention.
3. Factors like reporters' demographics, newsroom biases, and a focus on "if it bleeds it leads" can influence disproportionate coverage of certain types of crime stories and racial biases.
4. Given these limitations in news coverage, public opinion formed on this basis may also be fragmented, ahistorical, and
How to handle sensitive issues in news reporting
News is an essential part of modern societies that allows people to understand events and issues. There is no single definition of news, but it generally refers to a timely account of an event, issue, or person that interests audiences. Key attributes of newsworthiness include timeliness, impact, prominence, proximity, uniqueness, human interest. When reporting on sensitive issues involving race, ethnicity or religion, journalists have a responsibility to get facts right and represent all sides fairly to avoid inflaming tensions. Checklists for responsible reporting of sensitive issues include ensuring a story is true, fair, and will make a difference rather than spread rumors.

Crime news- criminology university
- 2. author KNOWN FOR THE ‘SEDUCTION OF CRIME’ PROFFESOR AT UCLA PROVIDES A PHEMENOLOGICAL THEORY OF CRIME CAUSATION
- 3. What makes crime news?? • 1) personal competence and sensibility • 2) collective integrity • 3)moralised political conflicts • 4) white collar crime
- 4. Crime news, crime stats and reader interest • Crime news has been continually present in newspapers for around 150 years. It is argued that more educated readers ignore crime news or read it with superficial interest. • On an average day, stories on crime and justice consist of about 15% of the total articles read. • Comparisons of crime news and crime statistics have produced consistent findings.
- 5. • Official statistics report more common crimes than ‘white-collar’ crimes, however news reports present white-collar crimes more as people like bourgeoisies would commit these higher end crimes than proletariats. Eg, lower class people committing crimes like stealing a toothbrush from Tesco. • Out of a set of new stories within new york newspapers, 66% were concerned with white collar crimes, whereas 22% were concerned with common crimes.
- 6. White collar crime • White-collar crime refers to financially motivated nonviolent crime committed by business and government professionals • White collar crime in the news is constructed in a dialect relationship to the moral routines of audiences every day life.
- 7. Daily crime reading as a ritual moral exercise. • Assaults on property are seen as far less news worthy than assaults on a person. This indicates that readers’ concerns are more humanistic than materialistic. This is because an assault on a person is more relatable and evokes emotion. Most of the stories on violent crime in contemporary newspapers can be understood as serving readers’ interest in recreating daily the moral sensibilities through shock and impulses of outrage.
- 8. • Similarly, the second group of crime news stories; those that depict threats to sacred centers of society, are deemed interesting because readers understand that the questions of physical safety are of minor relevance compared to questions about collective moral character. • Many people who watch crime stories on the news recognise and use the moral tale within the story. This allows them to relate towards the story which they can comment on but do not have to deal with.
- 9. • Stories that reflect pre-existing tensions reflect among groups, people in political conflicts of hunger the need for moral changes to use against their opponents. • Crime news takes its interest from the most recent moral panic and not the actual focus on the crime. For example, if a terrorist attack was to happen, many news outlets would focus on the safety of the country after the attack and not what has just happened.
