The document discusses the complex relationship between science, the media, and the public. It notes that the media often exaggerates scientific findings to grab attention, but that media coverage is also necessary for informing the public about new scientific developments. While scientists criticize media coverage of science, they acknowledge the importance of engaging with the media. The relationship between these groups is mutually dependent - the media relies on science for stories and the public benefits from learning about science through media, but accurate reporting is challenged by the media's need to attract audiences.
This paper presents some of the preliminary results of the research project “Active Audiences and Journalism: Engaged citizens or motivated consumers?”. The findings presented in this paper are based on a mixed-methods approach, in which both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are used to better understand Spanish audiences’ attitudes and motivations towards online participation. The research is focused on the study of citizens’ opinion about the democratic function of news media and their role in a new media environment in which any citizen can potentially become a content producer. More specifically, this subproject is aimed at better comprehend the motivations that foster citizens to actively participate by using the mechanisms provided by online news media within their websites (blogs, comments, forums, recommendations, calls for stories and pictures) as well as the open platforms of social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others).
Results show that although the widespread discourses of distrust connected to journalists and traditional media institutions, as well as the general complaints about the actual practice of the journalistic profession, the common understanding of the participatory dimension of the new media environment is not constructed in relation to discourses of change or modification of the existing hegemonies. Instead of turning to alternative sources (such as citizen journalism or non-traditional media), or taking the lead with participatory practices of content creation, participants prefer to continue respecting journalism as a profession and traditional media institutions as the main producers of news as well as the most trusted sources of information. In fact, 50% of online users follow media accounts on social networks, and 1 out 3 also following journalists. Nevertheless, although the gatekeeping model of journalism is not yet in crisis, contacts on social media do act as a new kind of gatekeepers (81% of news recommended on social media come from contacts). These new gatekeepers, however, do not contribute to diversify news’ exposure: most of the news that users receive recommended by their social media contacts are from media sources that they already read (75%), and only 7% are from media of different ideological perspectives than their own.
The participatory dimension of the new media environment provides to citizens different ways to produce and publish online their own content about public issues. Regarding this ‘amateur’ or ‘non‐professional’ news content, research participants show highest level of trust on the content originated by professional journalists than in the content produced by the non-professional ones.

The issues of how the media affect people and what people do with the media have presented perennial and perplexing questions for communication scholars. Some of the research results in these areas are more controversial than useful. Uses and gratification studies straddle the two domains of media effects and people’s employment of the media. The field of gratification research holds great promise in the continual search for comprehensive knowledge on how and why we use the media. Drawing from a wide range of local and international literature, this paper presents a clear and concise review of the ontological, epistemological and axiological assumptions of the uses and gratifications theory.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The nature of the relationship between science, the media and the public-
Science is something which is in everything whether its in the environment or in the
house. The media tends to ‘make a mountain out of a molehill’ in order to grab the
attention of the public. The public has their own opinion and everyone is different
however it is normally split into groups for example the over 50’s would believe and be
more interested in the historic type of news.
The media exaggerates and adds their own opinion into the news/ articles or blogs to
make it engaging and interesting and to get the public wanting to hear more from the
media.
The media influences and promotes debates to make more drama however it is the only
way we find out about what is going on around the world and how we find out about
science.
“Most scientists in the US and UK blame public ignorance of science for flawed
policy preferences and political choices. They tend to be critical of media
coverage, yet rate favorably their own experience with the media”
This is a piece from- http://bigthink.com/age-of-engagement/how-scientists-view-the-public-
the-media-and-the-political-process
This indicates that the they are critical towards the media and with the amount of reality
that they actually cover however without the help of media new news on science and
experiments won't be known to the public and without the scientists the media people
will not have much to report on as a lot of the news and media is based on science. The
public is the people who will be watching these things and is how science and the media
will get more interest etc.
Personally i think that the media will present science in order to benefit its own purpose.
It is apparent that the media can add their own parts in depending on what the topic is
and how extreme it is however they need to do something different from other reporters
and journalists so they turn to things that can sometimes get out of hand like lying or
assuming things. One big example of this is the vaccines article that the reporters and
media had made many views on and had actually got people believing in it and was
obviously proven wrong later on as the most obvious thing was that the person who had
made this story was not a scientist. This was the fault of the media too as they did not
see where this news was coming from or who it was coming from. Therefore the media,
media and public all need each other to make an article and to get it out to the world.
2. This is an image from a website- http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/public-view-
science-back
This is an image of the percentage of the public which believe in science and their views
on science. Science overall is everywhere and there is no way to get away from it
whether its turning a kettle on or having a bath. Every person has their own individual
view on science as well as the media. I personally think that the media is not as reliable
as it should be and that is only because it has been proven wrong a number of times. My
view on scientists are that they are doing their job and can only rely on the media to get
the news out, the rest is in the hands of these people.
