This document provides a summary of a media critique presentation discussing various topics related to media and communication. It discusses how media constructs reality, has ideological messages and social/political implications. It examines concepts like embedded reporting during wars and how media can manipulate the truth. It also analyzes how media portrays religious groups, particularly how it tends to popularize fundamentalist aspects and present a dualistic representation of majority vs minority groups. The document advocates for alternative media and grassroots dialogue as a way to challenge myths spread by mass media and promote interreligious understanding.
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.
Terrorist behavior: Terrorists personalities reveal aggressiveness, a degree of flawed self-concept, a tendency to blame and scapegoat others, and a proneness to failure.
1. The document discusses how terrorists use media and the internet for propaganda purposes. Terrorists understand that their acts must be spectacular in order to achieve widespread media coverage and communicate their messages to supporters.
2. The internet in particular has allowed terrorist groups to spread their messages to huge audiences worldwide with very little cost or regulation. Terrorist groups use websites and social media to recruit, fundraise, and share information and resources.
3. The relationship between terrorists and the media is complex and codependent. Terrorists need media coverage to propagate their messages, while the media is attracted to spectacular acts of violence which aid the terrorists' goals. Both sides sometimes attempt to manipulate coverage and messages for their own ends.
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.
The document discusses media bias and whether it truly exists. It argues that while both liberals and conservatives claim bias in the media, the bias may be more of a myth perpetuated by political leaders to convince their followers. It aims to analyze cable news and talk shows to determine if provable bias exists or if the perception of bias depends on one's political viewpoint. It also discusses how context and a communicator's situation can influence the understanding and perception of messages.
The document discusses the need for an independent news network called People's Network in India that focuses on issues important to ordinary citizens such as governance, corruption, social justice, and the marginalized sections of society. It aims to be free of government and private sector control, operate on a non-profit basis without commercial advertising, and set the agenda for public debate and influence policy through its advocacy-style journalism. The document outlines People's Network's goals of becoming one of the top three news networks in India and reaching broad audiences through various platforms while maintaining high editorial standards.
Media bias is a problem that people are often not aware of. We see bias in news, TV shows, and newspapers, yet we often don't recognize it. Media bias shapes the impressions we form about people and issues. The media can propagate stereotypes through the stories and portrayals they choose. While media organizations claim to be unbiased, their choices about what to report and how to report it can influence the public's views.

The document discusses several myths and stereotypes about journalism, including the idea that all journalists share the same perspective. It explores the concept of worldview and how a journalist's worldview influences what they consider newsworthy and how they gather facts. The document also discusses the tension between objectivity and a journalist's cultural background and values, and whether it is possible for journalists to completely detach themselves emotionally. It examines the role of journalists as gatekeepers of information and the debate around granting confidentiality to sources.
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.
This document summarizes the sociology of news production. It discusses four main perspectives: (1) the social organization of news work and how organizational routines influence news, (2) the political economy perspective of how corporate and state interests shape news, (3) cultural approaches that examine symbolic systems and narratives that construct news, and (4) the gatekeeping model where journalists select stories based on factors like space, interest, and biases. It concludes that news plays a role in constructing social reality and cultures but does not necessarily create democracy on its own.
Notes for Terrorism and the Press class taught by Dr. Alvin Plexico at Park University in Millington, TN. The notes are based on the book Terrorism and the Press: An Uneasy Relationship by Brooke Barnett and Amy Reynolds (2008).
The document discusses concerns about media bias and its influence on public opinion. It argues that many political figures have claimed major media outlets have a liberal bias, which could manipulate the American public and influence them to support Democratic policies and candidates. While media organizations have historically leaned liberal, the document asserts they should report news objectively without an ideological slant, as bias can seep into coverage in ways that sway the public. Overall, the text examines debates around alleged media bias and its potential effects on shaping political views.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

• We communicate to other beings and other
beings communicate with us through various
forms, means and types.
• Intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, mass, extra-
personal, folk, community communication
• Newspapers, Radio, Television, books, journals,
pamphlets, writings, computers, video, audio
cassettes, drums and so on.
• Seeing, tasting, listening, feeling, smelling and
so on are acts of receiving and communicating.

4. Critique of the Media
Media Construct Reality for us
Media have certain ideological and value
messages
Media have social and political implications
Form and content are closely related in
the media
Each medium has a unique aesthetic form
8. ‘embedded reporters’ are those who
were on the ground in Iraq, moving
with the coalition forces seeing and
reporting the
fighting at first hand. They ate and slept
alongside soldiers and brought live
reports of firelights and artillery
onslaughts into our living rooms - BBC.
EMBEDDED MEDIA OPERATE AS PART OF THEIR ASSIGNED
UNIT. AN ESCORT MAY BE ASSIGNED AT THE DISCRETION
OF THE UNIT COMMANDER. THE ABSENCE OF A PA
ESCORT IS NOT A REASON TO PRECLUDE MEDIA ACCESS
TO OPERATIONS – Pentagon Document.
12. From Truth to Untruth
• Truth should correspond to some
external set of facts or
observations…Truth has become
increasingly tied to that which is written
down, to that which can be empirically
verified, to that which can be perceived
by the human senses, and to that which
does not vary among people or among
cultures
Trust is the foundation of the BBC. We are independent,
impartial and honest. Audiences are at the heart of everything
we do. We respect each other and celebrate our diversity so
that everyone can give their best
13. Telling lies within a timeframe
when you need such a lie to
win the war… and then
apologize
►BBC Director of News Richard Sambrook
has admitted it is proving difficult for
correspondence in Iraq to distinguish the
truth from false reports, after a series of
media claims about the progress of
coalition forces tuned out to be premature.
CNN former Correspondent Bernard Shaw –I think journalists who
agree to go with combat units effectively become hostages of the
military, which can control the movements of the journalists and,
more importantly control their ability when they file the stories.
14. On March 22 the NBC reporter Kerry
Sanders stated that the Iraqi soldiers
were fleeing Basra. Later we learnt that
Basra was hardly under coalition
control.
15. Greg Mitchall[1], the editor of Editor and
Publisher magazine which covers the
newspaper industry, on March 27
identified 15 different stories in which the
media got it wrong or misreported a silver
of fact into a major event. Saddam might
have been killed (March 20); even if he
wasn’t killed, Iraqi command and control
was no doubt decapitated (March 22);
Umm Qasr has been taken (March 22-
24); most Iraqi soldiers will not fight for
Saddam and instead are surrendering in
17. •
“Embedding is a way
to kill the press with
kindness” says NYU
media studies
professor Mark Crispin
Miller, “ You absorb
reporters into the
advancing military
unit, and they are
psychologically
inclined to see
themselves as part of
the military operation.
They even dress like
soldiers”
[Alternet.Org].
18. Before the war, John R MacArthur
expressed doubts about the effectiveness
of embedded reporters to Editor. “The
Pentagon is expecting a kind of Panama-
Style war, over in three days. No body has
time to see or ask any questions. I think if
embedded reporters see anything
important or bloody, the Pentagon will
interfere. Same result, different tactic: the
truth gets distorted” says MacArthur.
19. Twelve journalist have died in the conflict so far.
“As we all feared, this conflict has become the
worst ever for our profession. Each and every day
journalists and media professionals are being
killed and injured at an alarming rate” said the
Chris Cramer, the president of CNN international
Networks. BBC war correspondent Martin Bell
warned saying, “I think it’s very worrying that
independent witnessing of war is becoming
increasingly dangerous and this may be the end
of it. I have a feeling that independent journalists
have become a target because the management
of the information war has become a higher
priority than ever”.

25. Media, Myth and
Ignorance
Huntington’s thesis on Clash of Civilization
Edward Said’s Clash of Ignorance
Ignorance does not refer to ‘not-knowing the other’ rather
means to ‘knowing more or only the negative side of the
other’. It is often articulated by the vested groups and so
can be identified as ‘articulated ignorance’ of the other.
26. Examples of Myths of Fundamentalism
Religious activities are often reported when they have
negative or unexpected characteristics
The news media popularises the fundamentalist aspect of
every religion.
Media have a Dualistic representation – Majority vs Minority
The media often tend to show their national identity
They fear of being blamed for siding with the outside
terrorists
This is what people like to read or view or see in our media

use of Government resources for
the purposes of conversions’. –

38. Media Literacy? As
Media Critique
• Where do we start?
• Identify the problem first – Where
lies the problem?
• Ownership – professional
communicators – media industries
and practitioners – content –
audience who is responsible
39. Media Literacy as dialogue at
grassroots
Other communication networks such
as small group to come together –
Promoting awareness; Doing analysis
(verification, comparison); Reflection
(critical mind); Action (participation)
Removing false consciousness and
ignorance
40. culture of dialogue
culture of reconciliation
a chance for inescapable mission of
inter-religious dialogue
a need for theology of dialogue
particularly at grassroots
41. Dialogue at Grassroots?
Dialogue as attempt to impose an exclusive pluralism
dialogue as an intellectual exercise
to eliminate evangelism and proclamation of the gospel
identifying the fundamentalist groups with these evangelicals,
Pentecostals and Charismatic groups who are popular among public
An approach which is neither completely exclusive nor inclusive nor
pluralist - possible?
42. Dialogue for Co-existence
Forthe sake of dialogue neither Christians norHindus should beasked tochangetheirfaith
orbeliefs
Thebasic purpose dialogue at grassrootsis to reducethe suspicion that onecommunity
or personhasabout the other
Accepting the other
Listening to the other
Living together with the other

Communication
Removes Ignorance and establishes
relationship
From myths of ignorance and clashes
to a culture of dialogue and a life
together
