Early newspapers in the 17th and 18th centuries were published by political parties for elites and focused on opinion over news. The penny press revolution in the 1830s led by Benjamin Day lowered costs and focused on factual news stories to appeal to growing urban populations. Throughout the late 19th century, newspaper wars between Hearst and Pulitzer popularized sensationalized stories and yellow journalism. In the 20th century, radio and television challenged newspapers' role in broadcasting news, though newspapers adapted by strengthening online content and mobile platforms. While national newspapers remain profitable, many local papers are struggling with declining revenues.

The document provides definitions and descriptions of various media-related terms: Yellow Journalism refers to sensationalized newspaper reporting from the late 19th century; muckrakers were Progressive Era journalists who reported on corruption; leaks can politically damage administrations; horse race journalism focuses on political polls and winners; and media bias can appeal strongly to some audiences while alienating others.
Background to revolution_in_china[1]
1) China was ruled by dynasties until 1911 when it became a republic under the nationalist party, who had a tentative relationship with the Soviet Union and distrusted the US.
2) In the 1920s, Jiang Jieshi took control of the nationalists and purged communists from the party, declaring them enemies. Many communists then fled to rural China.
3) During World War II, the communists were able to regroup while Jieshi focused on fighting Japan. The communists, led by Mao Zedong, gained support from peasants by educating and helping them.
Reporting war and the media of the Middle East
1) Al-Jazeera, launched in 1996, is a major news network in the Middle East with an estimated audience of 35-50 million viewers. It provides an alternative to Western media perspectives and is popular for its on-the-ground war coverage.
2) However, Al-Jazeera is also controversial and has been accused of bias or acting as a propaganda tool. Critics argue it sensationalizes coverage and is too sympathetic to Islamist views, while supporters see it as fulfilling the journalistic role of bearing witness.
3) The document discusses different theories around news media and their relationship to politics, propaganda, and public opinion-forming during conflicts like the Iraq War. It also notes the rise
Chapter 13 Section 4
Martin Van Buren was elected president in 1836 as the Democratic candidate, continuing the policies of Andrew Jackson. However, after taking office Van Buren faced major economic problems stemming from Jackson's opposition to the Bank of the United States. Specifically, many state banks printed excessive money and issued too many loans, leading to shortages when people and banks could not pay back what they owed. This caused a financial panic in 1837, with banks collapsing across the country. While Van Buren felt the government should not intervene in the economy, the financial crisis hurt his reelection bid in 1840, which was won by Whig candidate William Henry Harrison.
The power of pictures
The document discusses the use of propaganda and political cartoons to spread ideas and influence public opinion. Propaganda uses exaggerated or false statements to help a cause or government, especially during wartime to foster support for war efforts. Wartime propaganda was used domestically in the US to encourage citizens to buy war bonds and reduce venereal diseases among soldiers. Political cartoons also played a role in exposing political corruption and social issues through imagery before radio and TV. Some examples highlight hypocrisy around excluding certain groups in America or depict reactions to terrorist attacks. The power of art like political cartoons is that it aims to transform views rather than just inform.

George Washington served two terms as the first US President and established several cabinet positions including Secretary of State and Secretary of War. In his farewell address, he warned against the dangers of political parties and sectionalism dividing the country. After his presidency, the first political parties emerged led by Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
Comparative History
The document discusses the Great Depression and its global impacts in the 1930s. It notes that over 11,000 banks failed in the US between 1929-1933, unemployment rose to 15-30% worldwide, and economies were affected across the globe. Some countries were able to reduce unemployment more quickly than others by taking control, though they also destroyed democracy. The document also discusses the rights movements that emerged in the US and South Africa in the 1960s to combat racial segregation and white supremacy, as well as the new feminism movements that arose in the US and UK during that same time period to advocate for women's rights.
Dean Starkman's presentation on journalism and the financial crisis
This document discusses the crisis facing journalism due to declining revenues, the retreat of journalism into coastal bubbles resulting in some groups becoming isolated from other perspectives, and the risks this poses to democracy like the spread of misinformation and an inability to foresee events. It suggests pre-crisis economic issues that supported corruption remain, alternative online media helped connect some groups, and that some groups now exist in an "information vortex" reinforced by certain media that shields them from challenging views.
Us wwi
The United States' decision to enter World War 1 militarily benefited the economic and political elite more than other social classes. Through effective propaganda portraying the war as crucial for defending democracy, influential leaders were able to gain popular support for involvement despite hesitations. Major corporations saw large profits from increased trade with Allied countries. However, everyday Americans faced heavy casualties, debt, economic hardship including mass farmer bankruptcies, and disillusionment after the war.
Media
This document outlines the key topics that will be covered in a political science course on the media. It discusses the functions of the media, how it has developed throughout US history, and whether news reflects reality or is a deliberate product. It also summarizes the main media sources, how they gather and disseminate information, and their goals of informing, investigating, and interpreting events. Finally, it lists several theories about the relationship between the media and politics.
spanish american war
- The United States initially sent military advisors to South Vietnam in 1961 to support the South Vietnamese government against communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Over time, U.S. involvement escalated with the arrival of more troops and bombing campaigns against North Vietnam.
- By 1965, there were over 185,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam and the air campaign called "Rolling Thunder" dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than the entire Second World War.
- In 1968, the Tet Offensive involving 70,000 North Vietnamese soldiers launched a massive surprise attack and marked a turning point where U.S. public support for the war began declining.
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.

Populism
Populism emerged as a movement in response to economic struggles farmers faced after the Civil War. Various crises drove down crop prices while transportation and bank costs rose. The Greenback and silver policies caused inflation harming farmers. Farmers organized through the Grange and Farmers' Alliance to demand reforms like free silver coinage and regulation of railroads. This led to the formation of the Populist Party in the 1890s, which promoted farmers' interests and included women. Though short-lived, Populism drew attention to farmers' economic issues.
The Civil War
The document summarizes key events of the 1860 US presidential election and early Civil War period:
- Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860 with 40% of the popular vote and 59% of electoral votes, while the US split politically along North and South divisions
- Several southern states seceded from the US after Lincoln's election, forming the Confederate States of America
- The Civil War began in April 1861 when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina, and key battles like Bull Run and Shiloh in 1861-1862 resulted in high casualties with no clear victor.
Media
This document provides an overview of the functions and development of media in American politics. It discusses how the media gathers and disseminates information to the public through various sources like newspapers, radio, television and the internet. While the main goal of informing the public has remained the same, the ways information is delivered has changed over time. The document also examines different theories about the relationship between media and politics.
Chapter 1
- The document discusses the history of journalism in America from the earliest newspapers in the late 1600s/early 1700s which contained little news and were subject to censorship, to the development of partisan newspapers in the 1700s and the establishment of freedom of the press.
- It then covers the rise of the penny press in the 1830s which sold newspapers on the street for a penny and included news stories, the growth of women journalists in the 1840s-50s, and the impact of the telegraph in the 1860s which accelerated news reporting.
- Developments like yellow journalism in the late 1800s, muckraking journalism which investigated corruption, and the rise of radio and television news in the

This document provides an overview of the functions and history of media in American politics. It discusses how the media gathers and disseminates information to the public through various sources like newspapers, radio, television, and the internet. While the main goal of informing the public has remained the same, the ways information is delivered has changed over time. The document also examines the development of media from the labor-intensive printing presses to today's digital landscape and analyzes the media's role in politics as gatekeepers, disseminators, investigators, and public mobilizers.
America Compared
The chapter discusses the westward expansion of Americans into Native American lands in the late 1800s, forcing over 100,000 eastern Indians onto western lands. It also describes how Europeans sought to expand into indigenous areas in Argentina and Canada at this time. Migration patterns during 1870-1920 transformed the US into a more urban society, with immigrants comprising most new residents in the US, Argentina, and Canada. The chapter then examines the concept of American imperialism in the late 1800s and early 1900s, comparing it to European imperialism of the time.
The vietnam war
The document provides a summary of the Vietnam War from the 1800s to 1975. It describes how Vietnam was colonized by the French and Japanese, and the rise of Ho Chi Minh's Vietminh resistance movement. After World War 2, Vietnam was divided into North and South Vietnam. The US backed the South while China and the Soviet Union supported the North. Despite massive US military involvement, North Vietnam was able to reunite the country as a communist state in 1975 after the US withdrew. The war was highly controversial in the US and cost over 58,000 American lives.
Populism
After the Civil War, overproduction by farmers led to declining crop prices and widespread farm debt. Farmers organized movements like the Grange and Farmers' Alliances to demand government action to stabilize prices through measures like tariffs, expanding the money supply, and free silver coinage. This populism culminated in the People's Party in the 1890s, which advocated these economic reforms and sought the eight hour work day and regulation of railroads and monopolies. The party selected William Jennings Bryan for president in 1896 on a free silver platform, but he lost to William McKinley as the nation moved to a gold standard. Populism declined by 1900 but brought attention to farmers' economic issues.
Media as an agency perpetuating violence
Dr. Anju Gupta's document discusses how media perpetuates violence against women in several ways. Media serves as a vehicle for misogynistic threats and harassment online, with almost three quarters of women experiencing some form of cyber violence. News coverage of violence against women is often sensationalized and exploitative, retraumatizing victims. Media also politicizes and sensationalizes issues of violence against women. Some media presentations can constitute acts of violence by defaming or publishing obscene materials about women. Media further desensitizes society to domestic violence by normalizing it in comedy, language, and advertisements. It assigns indirect female aggression as a vehicle of power by disguising it as female empowerment.
Watergate
This document lists numerous "-gate" scandals from various fields including politics, entertainment, journalism, and more. Some of the scandals mentioned include Watergate, Travelgate, Troopergate, Climategate, Hackgate, and Monicagate. The document provides brief descriptions of each scandal in bullet point form.
Investing and The Past
The document discusses using history to understand the present economic crisis. It examines potential analogies to past crises like the Great Depression, but notes the current situation differs in some ways. The document also summarizes theories by Fukuyama and Huntington about whether the world is entering a new phase of history or if events still rhyme with the past. It argues it is important to determine which view is right to best understand the present situation.
News Packages
The document discusses the importance and structure of television news packages. It begins by defining a package as an edited video report for news or features, including visuals, interviews, and narration to tell a story. It then outlines the key elements of effective packages, such as focusing on a central topic, using compelling leads and endings, and writing concise narration that enhances rather than repeats the visual content. The document emphasizes researching topics thoroughly and crafting packages that engage viewers and communicate essential information through storytelling with video and sound.
Media is a mixed blessing (1)
This document discusses media and its mixed effects. It defines media as technologies like the internet, newspaper, and radio used for mass communication. The main purposes of media are to spread information and connect people. It can positively spread knowledge and engage public participation, but can also negatively influence children through violence and distract middle-aged people. While media provides timely news, it sometimes prioritizes sensationalism over information. In emergencies, live reporting may unintentionally help terrorists by revealing tactical details. Overall, the document examines how media can be both beneficial and harmful depending on how it is used.

The document discusses the role and impact of various types of media in India. It notes that print media like newspapers and magazines reach over 78.8 million and 41.6 million people daily/weekly respectively. There are 665 television channels and 65 million internet users. The media serves important functions like reporting news, setting agendas, and socializing people, but some outlets provide sensationalized or discouraging content. To maximize its benefits, the media should encourage positive and constructive discussions while providing factual information to build up the nation.
Representation theories
This document provides an overview of key concepts in representation theory for analyzing media texts, including how representations can reinforce ideologies, be evaluated using feminist theory and postmodern approaches, and rely on stereotypes. It discusses representations in terms of Marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and stereotypes. The aims are to understand how to evaluate coursework against representation theory and recognize how media shows societal aspects through careful mediation of representations.
Traditional Versus Online Marketing
There will always be a debate whether businesses should focus their budget on traditional or digital marketing and some are even saying that digital is the new traditional. We think each has its own benefits and you can learn about them here.
Uses and gratifications theory
The Uses and Gratifications theory views audiences as active in their media consumption choices. It posits that people select media to fulfill certain needs and gratifications. The theory assumes audiences are goal-oriented in their selections and can articulate the reasons behind their choices. It also acknowledges that media compete with other sources for fulfilling needs. Common gratifications sought from media include information, entertainment, social interaction, and escape from problems. The degree to which media gratify the reasons people seek them (gratifications sought vs. gratifications obtained) determines audience satisfaction. Media dependency theory extends this by arguing people rely more on media that fulfill important goals and needs.

It provides statistics on newspaper and magazine readership as well as the number of television channels and active internet users in India.

role of media in pakistan
The document discusses the role of electronic media in Pakistan. It outlines the evolution of media from the establishment of Pakistan Television Corporation under Ayub Khan to the proliferation of private channels today. It notes both positive and negative impacts of media. Positively, media can promote democracy, raise awareness of social issues, and expose corruption. However, it can also sensationalize news, spread exaggerated or one-sided information, and be influenced by powerful groups. The conclusion calls for media to project a positive image of Pakistan while prioritizing accuracy over viewership.
Uses and Gratifications Theory
Uses and Gratifications Theory posits that audience members actively seek out media to meet specific needs or gratifications, rather than media having direct influence over people. It focuses on what people do with media rather than what media does to people. The theory suggests people use media to fulfill needs like social interaction, entertainment, education, and identification. Critics argue it does not fully recognize media's unconscious influence over views and that media can manipulate audiences. However, it may be more applicable today as the internet allows more freedom and control over media consumption.

Media in American Politics Powerpoint
This document discusses the author's research topic on media in American politics. The author will investigate the history of media in politics from yellow journalism to today. They will also examine the role of media in shaping political views, and how media outlets, the American people, and government figures all interact. The author questions how accessible and reliable different media sources are, and whether true unbiased news is possible. They acknowledge an opposing view that claims no liberal media bias exists, but argue that an overall political bias influences American views.
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.
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.
Discovering, Detecting and Attacking Liberal Media Bias
Accuracy in Media was founded in 1969 to expose media bias through watchdog efforts like panel discussions and letters to editors. While the media landscape has changed with new platforms, AIM argues bias still exists, citing lack of coverage of scandals like IRS targeting and climate change terminology shifts. AIM advocates critical thinking about news and encourages consuming alternative views to become one's own watchdog against slanted coverage that can influence public opinion.
Ap gov final
The document provides definitions and descriptions of various key concepts and events related to media and journalism in the United States, including yellow journalism, censorship, William Randolph Hearst, Franklin D. 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.
Us media history (American Media History)
During the 19th century, newspapers began to expand and appear outside the cities of the Eastern United States. From the 1830s onward the penny press began to play a major role in American journalism.
Citizen journalism
Citizen journalism emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s as new technologies allowed ordinary people to expose news and share information more quickly than traditional media. Citizen journalism plays an important role in filling information gaps when mainstream media faces restrictions, as seen in examples from Tunisia, Syria, and London riots. New media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have become important sources of information about breaking news and social movements reported outside of official channels.
Media
The document discusses several topics related to politics and the media, including:
1) Different views on the role and purpose of the media, such as providing what the public wants versus balancing public interests.
2) How journalists and media outlets determine what issues to cover and how to frame them, as well as potential biases.
3) The functions of the media, including serving as a link between government and the public, investigating issues, and acting as a watchdog.
4) How groups and politicians use the media in campaigns and how the media can influence elections.
5) The history and development of different media forms such as print, radio, television, and the internet.
The Media and Democracy PowerPoint
The document discusses issues with modern American media, including its focus on profit over informing citizens, consolidation of media ownership, and reluctance to criticize government. It analyzes how this impacted coverage of the Iraq war and 2004 election. Presidential candidates Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean received little coverage after criticizing media monopolies and discussing important issues. John Kerry received more attention as a "safe" candidate who avoided controversy, despite being ill-suited to challenge Bush, who benefited from friendly media that focused on personality over policy.
The changing relationship between journalists and their audience
The document discusses the changing relationship between journalists and their audience in the digital age. It defines citizen journalism as media produced by former media consumers. Social media allows for real-time sharing of information and stories, as seen during the 2009 Iranian elections when students used Twitter and YouTube. However, most Twitter content is generated by only 10% of users, who tend to be male and living in the US, UK or Canada. The rise of citizen journalism has both benefits like increased democracy, but also challenges around fact checking and quality control. Traditional media are adapting by harnessing social media and citizen journalists, but this relationship remains complex.

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
Group journalism and democracy
The document discusses the history and evolution of journalism from its early days in print and radio to modern television, online, and investigative journalism. It covers key developments like the rise of radio in the 1920s-1940s, the shift to FM in the late 1970s, and how the internet has allowed for more immediate updates and added multimedia. The document also examines differences between print and TV news and debates around objectivity versus encouraging civic participation. Ethics, democracy, and the relationship between journalism and the public interest are also addressed.
Current Problems in the Media
Current Problems in the Media discusses several issues facing modern journalism according to surveys and studies. It finds that public trust in media accuracy has declined significantly in recent decades. Mistakes and factual errors are commonly seen in news stories by the public. There is also a tendency toward sensationalism and chasing exciting stories rather than important news. Media outlets are investing less in reporting and face increasing consolidation, which some argue prioritizes profits over quality journalism. Journalists themselves agree that major problems exist in serving readers.
Janua Taro
This document discusses the evolution of media and information literacy. It describes how media has evolved from print media like newspapers and magazines to include broadcast media like radio and television. It explains that while newspapers were initially the dominant source of news, television and electronic journalism have become prevalent in the last 50 years. The document also provides a brief history of different media like newspapers and their political ties early on. It discusses how presidents like FDR used radio to communicate directly with the public and how radio reporting informed Americans during World War II.
Is sensationalism good
Sensationalism in journalism began in the late 19th century with newspaper publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst competing for readers through dramatic stories. While sensationalism was initially used to expose corruption, it has since extended to glorifying celebrities and influencing political opinions. Today, sensationalized stories about celebrities and politicians receive more coverage than newsworthy stories because they are exciting, not because they serve the public good. Journalists must be careful not to sensationalize important stories and events or let business interests influence their reporting at the expense of factual news.
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.
Media

The Truth about Fake News: Lecture 1
This document discusses the issue of fake news and examines it from several perspectives. It begins by describing how fake news became a major topic during the 2016 US presidential election and increased skepticism about the credibility of news. It then analyzes different types of fake news like propaganda, fabricated stories, and hoaxes. The document also explores the history of propaganda and the challenges of verifying facts in an era of complex issues, uncertainty, and political polarization. While President Trump's attacks on "fake news" are effective at rallying his base, they may undermine the independent role of the press and erode support for civil liberties like freedom of the press.
