CHAPTER 8: THE MEDIA
Does the media impact our public opinion / impact how we think about events?
· Picture Hurricane Katrina happening and everything only being on the radio.
· Picture 9/11 happening and only being on the radio.
People, Government and Communications
· There are TWO types of media to think about when you think about media – print media and broadcast media.
· Print Media – media in print – newspapers and magazines.
· Broadcast Media – electronic media – sound and images – radio and television and the internet. This is not just the news, news shows, televising presidential debates – think also about movies that make political statements. Examples of singers that sing about political ideas (Eminem, Natalie Maines speaking out against President Bush at a concert for military action in Iraq).
· Does the media play a role in communications from the government?
· Examples? Presidential election debates, press conference from President Obama, weekly radio address.
· Does the media shape your political views?
· Think about the type of government we live in and how the media effects us versus if you lived in a communist country media flows more freely in “one direction” – the government feeding information to its citizens versus the public responding to public opinion.
The Development of the Mass Media in the United States
Newspapers
· There is a big difference in the way newspapers were in 1775 in the colonies and newspapers today.
· In 1775 there were about 37 weekly newspapers that were read by the people that have land and money – newspapers were not independent but politically affiliated and published by parties to advance ideas of the party.
· In the 1830s newspapers started to be published daily and started private ownership.
· Daily papers by circulation as of January 2015 – print and electronic circulation:
· Wall Street Journal – 2.3 million every day
· USA Today – 3.2 million every day
· New York Times – 1.8 million every day
· Dallas Morning News – 400,000 every day
Magazines
· When you think about magazines think daily or monthly – less frequency.
· This is more specialized than newspapers – more analytical – they have more time to examine and do research on something than a daily newspaper does.
· Usually more specialized – not just an overview of all news – but some specific topic – from a magazine catering to Democrats to one on celebrities.
· Weekly magazines and their weekly circulation:
· Time – 3.3 million copies.
· National Enquirer – 1 million (at its height 6 million)
· People – 3.75 million – 46.4 million people are in their readership – when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had their baby Shiloh – People paid $4.1 million to them for the first photos and there were 26.5 MILLION page views on their internet page – the single largest daily internet traffic ever. Does People impact people and their viewpoints?
Radio
· Regularly scheduled and continuous broadcasting on the radio began in 1920 on t.

Whatever the complaint about media, one thing is certain: There are underlying structural issues at work that give rise to these problems. Attacking a single symptom — such as programming some might say is indecent — does not cure the disease.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

1. Types of mass media
1. Print (Newspapers, magazines,
opinion journals)
2. Broadcast (network TV, radio)
3. Internet – blogs, Twitter, etc.
“New media” – cable and satellite-
“digital divide” in Internet use for
political news
2. Trends
• Newspapers and TV are declining as
news sources, Internet rising 2009
• But when Americans go on Internet, the
majority of the sites they go on are
owned by “old” media: major TV
network news sites, local and national
newspaper sites. Blogs are less than
25% of the news consumed online.
3. American broadcast media
• Versus other countries: privately owned,
not government owned
• Implications of private ownership:
– More freedom, less government control
over content
– Priorities strongly influenced by
dependence on ad revenue: need to attract
big audiences, keep them entertained
4. How does federal government
regulate the media?
• Federal Communication Commission
(created 1934)
– Equal time rule: any broadcast station that
give/sells time to candidate must make
equal time available to opponent(s)
– Fairness doctrine – broadcasters must give
time to opposing views if broadcast a
program slanted to one side of a
controversial issue (no longer in effect)
5. Functions of media
• Reporting the news
• Interpreting the news
• Influencing citizens’ opinions
• Setting the political agenda
• Gatekeeper function (channels the
news flow that reaches the public)
6. How does media influence
public opinion?
• Agenda setting – telling citizens
what to think about -studies by
Iyengar and Kinder
• Priming – affect standards
people use to evaluate political
figures or problems
• Framing – what you emphasize
or de-emphasize in a story
7. BIAS
–Partisan? Old days/today…
–Ideological bias: liberal or
conservative? (surveys …
but…
– Negativity and cynicism
–Emphasis on conflict
–Emphasis on the president
and personalities v. policy
