American media
American media consists of television, radio, newspapers, magazines and websites. The first newspaper was published in 1690. In 1920, Westinghouse launched the first commercially licensed radio station. Television became commercialized in 1941. Major newspapers include the Washington Post and LA Times. Television networks like CNN, Fox and major radio stations influence public opinion. While freedom of speech is protected, the US government can impose reasonable restrictions and American media aims to shape international views in its favor through news coverage.
A Brief History Of The Media In The Usa
The media in the United States has gone through several changes throughout history. Early on, the press was seen as important for public discourse and debate. However, over time media became big business, with large companies owning most newspapers and radio/TV stations. Deregulation in the 1980s and 1990s led to even more media consolidation, with just a few huge corporations now controlling around 90% of the market. This raises questions about whether the needs of the public are still being served over pure profit.
McCarthy's Downfall
This document defines the word "demagogue" as a political leader who appeals to prejudices rather than rational arguments. It then describes Joseph McCarthy as a demagogue. It summarizes the See It Now documentary series that publicly attacked McCarthy's techniques, and the Army-McCarthy hearings where McCarthy accused the Army of being infiltrated by Communists while the Army accused McCarthy aide Roy Cohn of improper conduct. It concludes with Joseph Welch challenging McCarthy during the hearings.
Med312 Journalistic sources in the networked era: protecting and framing
1. The document discusses principles of protecting confidential sources for journalists, including that sources must never be identified while alive.
2. Courts are very reluctant to require disclosure of sources, only doing so in exceptional cases where public or individual interests are at stake.
3. Views of whistleblowers have shifted over time in some media, from mostly positive coverage to some recent backlash against them in some outlets.
Mm ch 14 media law
This chapter discusses the history and current state of media law regarding freedom of expression. It covers the development of free speech philosophy from John Milton in 1644 to protections established in the US Constitution. Early laws like the Sedition Acts restricted criticism of government. The Zenger trial established truth as a defense against sedition charges. Current issues around intellectual property, privacy, libel and newsgathering are analyzed, as well as controversies around censorship and conflicting rights like free press versus right to a fair trial.
475 2015 perspectives on media influence up
Media effects theories have evolved over time from assuming powerful direct effects to recognizing more conditional and nuanced impacts. Early models proposed media could directly shape attitudes through propaganda-like messages. However, research found people are not entirely passive and can resist persuasion through social and psychological factors. While media may cultivate worldviews over the long-term or influence children, effects are often indirect, conditional on individual traits, and reinforced by interpersonal networks. More recent models recognize effects depend on the message, medium, audience and other contextual factors.
Infection the invasion begins (9909)-1
The document summarizes the marketing strategy and results for the micro-indie horror film "Infection: The Invasion Begins" also known as "9909". The strategy focused on creating an extensive online presence on social media, websites, and forums to generate buzz among horror fans. This online buzz led to press coverage in publications like Variety and Fangoria. It also sold out the film's first screening in LA. This success led to the film being accepted to film festivals where it won awards, keeping the buzz going and ultimately resulting in a North American DVD distribution deal.
Watergate scandal
The Watergate scandal involved the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. by five men associated with President Richard Nixon's re-election committee. The ensuing investigation revealed that Nixon had attempted to cover up White House involvement and abused federal powers to spy on political opponents. This led to impeachment proceedings and Nixon's resignation in 1974, damaging trust in government. The scandal demonstrated that a free press could hold leaders accountable and increased cynicism around political corruption.

Media Bias
This document discusses the history of media bias in the United States. It outlines how the media landscape has become increasingly polarized over time, with traditional mainstream media portrayed as liberal and new conservative media like Fox News and Breitbart attacking the mainstream. This polarization has contributed to a situation where facts reported by nonpartisan groups are dismissed as "fake news" if they do not align with certain political viewpoints. The document questions how journalism can fulfill its obligation to truth and hold politicians accountable in this asymmetric environment of polarization.

Slide 4 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.
News and personalisation 2014
1. The document discusses the personalization of news media through an increased focus on human interest stories, celebrities, and ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
2. It explores the reasons why news outlets may personalize content, including to explain events through individuals and engage audiences, but also notes dangers like detracting from factual information or oversimplifying issues.
3. The document concludes that while personalization helps news producers connect with fragmented audiences, it can encourage a passive response and lower news quality when it replaces substantive news with infotainment or tabloid-style content.
The persistent case of media effects research [lecture 2011]
1. The document traces the historical trajectory of media effects research through four phases: from viewing media as all-powerful, to its effects being challenged, to powerful media being revisited, to negotiating how audiences make meaning from media.
2. Across these phases, research approaches and theories have shifted from behaviorism and conditioning, to cultivation analysis and social learning theory, to examining how audiences actively interpret media rather than being passive receivers.
3. A key challenge is that it is difficult to isolate the specific influence of media from other variables on behaviors, and research approaches each have their limitations such as lack of external validity or real-world application.
Mac201 current affairs broadcasting: Paxman the public interrogator
Public inquisitors on current affairs broadcasting programs are meant to represent the public interest and engage politicians, but they may instead prioritize their own brand and celebrity status. While intended to facilitate transparency, confrontational styles could provide entertainment over meaningful discussion. Further, public inquisitors may misrepresent complex issues and not genuinely reflect public views and values. There are questions around whether they ultimately serve the public or themselves.
Journalism lesson 1
The document summarizes key points about the evolution of journalism and media trends. It discusses:
1) How communication modes have changed roughly every 80 years, and we are amid a significant shift with the rise of cable TV, internet, social media reducing America's knowledge homogeneity.
2) The roles have moved from journalists being information gatekeepers to audiences editing their own knowledge, who must now be active consumers rather than passive.
3) America's political polarization has a symbiotic relationship with media polarization, and audiences must be aware of organizations' biases.
4) New journalism models have emerged blending with verification journalism, and audiences must recognize different models.
Mac201 television constructing the public
This document discusses the role of media in shaping public opinion and functioning as a public sphere. It examines debates around the responsibilities of broadcasters to stakeholders versus audiences. The ideal role of news media is seen as disseminating accurate, politically relevant information to contribute to an informed civic society. However, contemporary media are argued to have become "re-feudalized" due to ownership, advertising, and spin. The document analyzes BBC and ITV news coverage of public opinion and finds they construct audiences as apathetic. It also discusses whether shows like Question Time truly represent public spheres or serve ratings.
Gatekeeping and Citizen Media
This document discusses the rise of citizen media and how it has impacted who decides what qualifies as news. It lists several major events that were first covered through citizen media, like the Rodney King video and videos from the Arab Spring. It poses discussion questions around whether citizen media has made people better informed or more misinformed, and how news organizations should approach using citizen media during breaking news events while maintaining original reporting.
Mac201 online comments
The document discusses the challenges that news websites face with user comments. While initially seen as enhancing public debate, comments sections often become dominated by "trolls and spambots", undermining their value. Studies found that exposure to rude comments can negatively influence readers' views of the issues discussed. Websites struggle to balance open participation with moderating unacceptable content and behaviors. Anonymity may encourage uncivil discourse, but real identities do not guarantee improved discussions. Overall, comments present both opportunities and risks that require careful management to benefit rather than detract from online news.

To What Extent Is The Regulation Of The Press Important To An Ordinary Consumerwilliamyoungmediastudies
The regulation of the press is important for consumers as it determines what can be published through various media like newspapers, TV, radio and the internet. However, regulations are often breached by media companies seeking readers/viewers. For example, during the Cumbria shootings, media interfered with victim's families and funerals in breach of privacy codes. They also published inaccurate stories in breach of accuracy codes. International incidents like publishing photos of Prince Harry and Kate Middleton in private also breached codes. While regulations exist, media companies still regularly break them, suggesting the regulations are not strict enough.Mac201 querying media effects: discourses of blame
This document discusses analyses of user comments on YouTube videos about school shootings. It summarizes three main discursive areas found in the comments: 1) Bullying, with comments debating whether the shooters were bullied or not, 2) Trauma, with comments expressing sorrow for the victims, and 3) Social politics, with comments drawing connections to war or criticizing American gun culture. The document also notes that some comments exhibited disinhibition and racism. It concludes by discussing the potential for real-time social media monitoring and issues around privacy and access.

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless gas that is a leading environmental health risk. It comes from the decay of uranium in soil and enters homes through cracks in foundations. Studies show a clear link between radon exposure and increased lung cancer risk, even at levels below the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States, making it a major public health issue. Home testing and mitigation are recommended where radon levels are at or above the EPA's action level to reduce risk of lung cancer from radon exposure.

The document discusses Holland Christian's implementation of a 1:1 laptop program for students in grades 6-12. It began as a pilot program in 2005 and was fully implemented by 2008/09. As a result, the school was named an Apple Distinguished School, one of only 51 nationwide. The program provides laptops and technical support for students 24/7. It has since expanded to include iPads for younger grades. The implementation required significant changes to teaching methods, assessments, learning spaces, and professional development for staff. The school aims to continue equipping students with technology while nurturing their faith.

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless gas that is a leading environmental health risk in Minnesota. It enters homes and buildings from the soil and can cause lung cancer when the radon decays into radioactive particles that are inhaled. Studies of miners and homes with radon exposure show a linear relationship between radon levels and increased cases of lung cancer, even at levels below the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L. Radon exposure is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States, making it a major public health issue. Minnesota residents need to test homes and take action to reduce radon levels if above the EPA guideline.

PR and GM
Public relations has evolved from ancient times where rulers used statues and coins to shape public perception, to the modern practice of strategically influencing media coverage and public opinion. Early pioneers like Ivy Lee established the principles of openness and honesty in public relations. Edward Bernays further developed the field and taught that public relations aims to "engineer public support" through information and persuasion. Today, public relations professionals perform roles like writing, media relations, and crisis communication across various types of clients from governments to industries.

While bias is difficult to define and measure, the media's choices around sources, facts, and framing can subtly slant coverage.

American Government - Chapter 10 - Media
The document discusses the evolving relationship between media and politics in the United States over time. It describes how colonial newspapers promoted political discussion and independence, while the development of new printing technologies in the 1830s freed the press from financial dependence on political parties. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, sensationalistic "yellow journalism" and investigative "muckraking" journalism gained popularity before objectivity in reporting became emphasized. More recently, trends include declining newspaper readership, less news attention from young people who use social media more, and "narrowcasting" of tailored political messages.
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
Hackgate, Leveson and News Corp: Spinning out of control?
Here are potential responses to those questions:
1. News Corp does not appear to have been fully open or truthful initially about the extent of phone hacking at News of the World. There were repeated denials that went beyond what has since been revealed.
2. News Corp failed to take appropriate action for many years despite signs that phone hacking went beyond a single rogue reporter. A proper internal investigation should have been conducted much earlier.
3. To recover, News Corp needs to fully acknowledge responsibility, make a sincere apology, reform governance and compliance, and rebuild trust over the long term through transparent and ethical journalism.
4. The closure of News of the World does seem like a strategic decision aimed more at reputation management than

Roosevelt, CNN, prior restraint, libel, shield laws, and more. Each entry consists of 3 clues at decreasing levels of specificity about the term or person being defined.
Manufacturing Consent
The document discusses how media systems influence public policymaking. Media act as channels between those who want to influence policy and policymakers, controlling the scope of political discourse. While textbook policymaking follows an orderly process, media involvement makes the process less linear. Media choose what issues to cover and how to frame them, actively shaping public opinion and policy debates. As a result, politics has begun orienting itself to satisfy media organizations. The media are now active participants in policymaking and can stimulate change or maintain the status quo through their framing of issues.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
