The document discusses several key aspects of the sociology of news including: 1. News is a product manufactured by social, economic, and political institutions and practices, and represents a selective representation of reality. 2. While news may distribute information to large audiences, its influence is more cultural than direct causal control over society. 3. The news media both organize audiences and legitimize certain events, sources, readers, and viewers through the selection and framing of content.

Uses & gratification theory
The Uses and Gratification Theory focuses on why and how people use media to satisfy needs and wants. It was introduced in 1974 and has three historical stages. The theory suggests that media users actively select media to fulfill needs like diversion, social interaction, identity, and surveillance. Critics argue it does not consider media influence and assumes free will, though its strength is emphasizing individuals' roles in media use.
Cultivation Theory
Cultivation theory posits that heavy television viewing shapes viewers' perceptions of the world by presenting an exaggerated view of violence. Specifically, it suggests that heavy viewers come to see the world as a scary place, overestimate crime rates, and feel less safe. The theory also argues that television has become society's dominant storyteller and influences viewers through constant exposure to the same portrayals, especially of marginalized groups as more likely to be victims of violence.
Politcal reporting in india
The document provides guidance for political reporting. It discusses the importance of politics and understanding the perspective of readers. Political reporters should focus on how decisions affect people's lives, cultivate a wide range of sources, and ask probing questions. When writing stories, reporters should include different viewpoints early, provide context and explanation, and write in a way that shows the human impact. The document also discusses common political story types and sources, as well as tips for interviewing politicians and keeping personal views separate from reporting.
Agenda Setting Theory - Communication Theories
The document provides an overview of the agenda-setting theory of communication. It defines agenda-setting as the media's ability to influence public concern over certain issues by determining the priority and emphasis given to different news stories. The theory originated in 1972 from researchers Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw. There are different levels and types of agenda-setting, including how the media and public each set their own agendas, as well as how these influence policy agendas. Examples are given of prominent agenda-setting topics in recent events and media. Criticisms of the theory note challenges in measuring its effects, as people now have more media choices and ability to engage in two-way communication.
2 Step Flow Theory
The document discusses the two-step flow theory of communication, which proposes that information from media first reaches opinion leaders who then pass on their own interpretations to others. Opinion leaders can be found in all groups and their influence varies depending on the topic and how interested the group is. There are two types of opinion leaders - monomorphic, who are influential on one topic, and polymorphic, who are influential on various topics. The multi-step flow theory expands on this by showing how information moves from media to opinion receivers to opinion leaders to others in a social system over time as part of the diffusion of innovations.
Public sphere
Jürgen Habermas was a German philosopher and sociologist born in 1929 who studied at universities in Germany. He is known for his theory of the public sphere as a domain of social life where private citizens can gather to discuss matters of public concern freely and openly. Habermas argued that the 18th century saw the emergence of a bourgeois public sphere but that it has since transformed due to the influences of mass media, advertising, and public relations which have corrupted its independence. He remains skeptical of how mass media can be used to control public opinion and legitimize government policy.
Agenda Setting Theory by Max McCombs and Donald Shaw
The presentation is a simple breakdown of the theory with examples from an Indian as well as international Media context. The intent of the same is to understand the theory with real life instances of where it is used.
Agenda setting- Communication Theory
The document discusses the agenda-setting theory of mass media. It was developed in 1972 by Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw based on the 1968 US presidential election. The theory holds that media influence public perception of what issues are important by the amount and prominence they give coverage to certain issues. It outlines three types of agenda-setting: public, media, and policy. Examples from Indian elections in 2014 and 2015 are given to show how media coverage influenced public perceptions of important issues and candidates. The document also briefly discusses uses and gratifications research, which argues people use media more for entertainment and gratification of personal needs rather than being strongly influenced.

Media gate keeping theory
The document discusses the concept of gatekeeping, which was coined by Kurt Lewin in 1947 to refer to the process by which certain individuals control the flow of information to larger groups. Gatekeepers decide what messages or content will be allowed to pass through gates or filters to be distributed and consumed by others. The document provides examples of gatekeepers in media like newspaper editors and television news producers. It also discusses how gatekeeping theory has been applied across various fields of study.

Agenda Setting Theory
Agenda-setting theory posits that the news media determines the issues the public thinks are important by focusing attention on specific topics and influencing perceptions. Research by McCombs and Shaw showed strong correlations between the media agenda and public agenda on election issues, indicating the media influences what the public thinks about even if not what to think. The media sets its agenda through gatekeepers and influences those with high needs for orientation the most.
Public Sphere
The document summarizes Jurgen Habermas's 1964 article on the public sphere. It describes the public sphere as a concept where private individuals assemble in an unrestricted manner to form a public body, which derives from democracy. Throughout history, the public sphere started in medieval times without a clear separation between public and private realms. During the bourgeois era, a bourgeois public sphere separated from the state and monarchy, where individuals could freely discuss matters of general interest. However, Habermas argues that in modern mass democracy, the public and private spheres have become intertwined and the public sphere has weakened due to the influence of private interests.
Gate Keeping Theory
Kurt Lewin originally developed the concept of gatekeeping theory to describe how information is filtered for dissemination through various channels of communication. Gatekeeping refers to the process by which individuals or organizations make decisions about allowing or blocking information to pass through different gates. At each gate, a gatekeeper determines what information is appropriate or inappropriate to pass through based on various influences like social norms, ethics, and policies. Gatekeeping theory is now widely used in fields like journalism and mass media to understand how and why certain information gets selected for publication or broadcasting while other information gets rejected.
Media Conglomerates
Mass media is dominated by a small number of large conglomerates. Through mergers and acquisitions over many years, around six major companies now control around 90% of media in developed countries. This high level of consolidation raises concerns about these companies' outsized economic and political influence over what information is reported and how. While globalization has increased access to information, many nations still struggle with censorship and threats to journalists, and mainstream media ownership concentration risks lack of objective reporting and control by corporate and political elites to advance their own interests over informing the public.

Penny Press Newspaper PPT
The Penny Press revolutionized American journalism in the 1830s by producing cheap newspapers that sold for one penny. Benjamin Day founded the first penny paper, The Sun, in 1833 in New York City. By relying on advertising revenue instead of subscriptions, using steam-powered printing presses, and hiring newsboys to sell papers on the street, The Sun was able to profitably sell newspapers for a penny, making news accessible to the working classes for the first time. The Penny Press model of affordable newspapers supported by advertising went on to define the modern newspaper industry.
Theory of Mass Communication Overview 2017
Mass media plays a significant role in shaping society and culture by influencing our identities, notions of gender and ethnicity, and sense of self. Media images and stories provide the symbols and resources through which we understand ourselves and our shared culture. Communication theory examines the relationships between media and politics, the influence of media on social issues like crime and violence, and the economic and normative aspects of media such as freedom of expression and commercialization. Theories take either a media-centric view that emphasizes the autonomy of media, or a society-centric view that sees media as reflecting broader social and political forces.
Mass communication theory –evolution and development.pptx
This document provides an overview of mass communication theory, including its evolution, key concepts, categories, and paradigms. It discusses the meaning and definitions of theory, elements of theory, categories of mass communication theory including post-positivism, hermeneutic theory, critical theory, and normative theory. It also covers paradigms in mass communication theory and the four eras of media theory: the era of mass society and mass culture; a scientific perspective leading to limited effects; competing cultural perspectives challenging limited effects; and the emergence of meaning-making perspectives.
Authoritarian theory
Authoritarian theory proposes that all forms of communication should be under the control of governing elites or authorities. It originated from Plato's philosophy and was used by English monarchs who censored, licensed, and taxed media. Under this theory, authorities have the right to control media by providing licenses and censorship. It developed in 16th-17th century England and is exemplified by regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy that controlled media ownership. Censorship, a key aspect, suppresses information deemed harmful to rulers and helps protect them from sensitive issues through various forms like political, moral, religious, military, and corporate censorship.
Theories of Mass Media
The document outlines four theories of mass media: the authoritarian theory, libertarian theory, Soviet theory, and social responsibility theory. The authoritarian theory proposes direct government control over media to avoid undermining authority. The libertarian theory advocates for individual freedom of the press.

The social responsibility theory sees media as having obligations of informativeness, truth, accuracy, and balance in democracies.
Citizen journalism slides
Citizen journalism utilizes social media to improve traditional media by allowing the public to collect, report, analyze and disseminate news and information. Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube benefit citizen journalists by enabling them to instantly upload and discuss thoughts and news. While speeding the spread of information, social media can sometimes result in misleading news due to human tendencies to embellish stories. However, citizen journalism also fills gaps ignored by traditional media and leads professional journalists to new stories through on-the-spot footage and pictures shared on social networks.
Agenda setting
The document summarizes the agenda-setting theory of mass media proposed by Walter Lippmann and empirically tested by McCombs and Shaw in 1972. Their study in North Carolina found a strong relationship between the issues given priority in media coverage and those issues the public considered most important, supporting the theory that the media agenda influences the public agenda. This marked the beginning of recognizing the media's ability to shape public perceptions of what issues are most salient.
Spiral of silence
The document discusses Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's spiral of silence theory of communication. The theory proposes that individuals are less likely to express opinions they believe are in the minority due to fear of isolation. It also suggests that the media can influence which opinions are perceived as majority or minority views. The document outlines the key assumptions, factors, and examples of the theory, as well as its strengths in explaining how public opinion may change over time, especially on controversial issues.

Media plays an important role in modern democracy by allowing free expression and an informed public. Under the First Amendment, citizens have freedom of speech and press across printed and digital media.

Potter, media literacy, 9e. © sage publishing, 2019 chapter 9
The document discusses different perspectives on the concept of news. It describes how news has changed over time from mostly local interpersonal communication to the rise of newspapers in the 16th century. There are various perspectives on what news should be, including the political philosophy perspective which says news should focus on important events to educate the public, and the traditional journalistic perspective which focuses on seven criteria of newsworthiness. The news-working perspective describes actual constraints journalists face and story formulas they use. An economic perspective views news as a commercial product designed to attract large audiences for advertisers. People now take a personal perspective in selectively exposing themselves to information that conforms to their existing beliefs.

Schroder how relevance_works_for_news_audiences_final
This document provides an overview of a research study that investigated how members of the public make decisions about what news to engage with in today's high-choice media environment. The study used qualitative interviews and factor analysis to understand news preferences from the audience's perspective, without relying on standard news categories. The study identified four types of news interests ("repertoires") among participants and found that relevance is the key factor in audience decisions, where stories are relevant if they impact people's personal lives, families, communities or work. The study provides insights into why certain stories are prioritized over others and how news fits into people's everyday lives.
Who decides what is news and what is not news?
1) Journalists Jane Akre and Steve Wilson reported on the health risks of Monsanto's bovine growth hormone product being used in dairy farms and present in milk.
2) Their news station Fox, which is owned by the same parent company as Monsanto, pressured them to only report positively on the product and retracted the negative reporting due to fears of losing advertising dollars from Monsanto.
3) When Akre and Wilson refused to change their reporting, they were fired. They sued and initially won but the decision was later reversed on appeal. The case shows the conflict between honest reporting and commercial pressures from large advertisers.
Ch02 3rd ed
The document discusses several theories related to mass communication and its effects on society, including:
1) Direct effects models which assume media messages lead to predictable responses are contrasted with indirect effects models which recognize people respond differently based on backgrounds.
2) Uses and gratifications theory examines what audience members seek from media use and whether their needs are met.
3) Cultivation analysis suggests heavy television viewing can influence viewers' perceptions of the world, such as believing it is more dangerous.
4) Other theories discussed include agenda setting, social learning, spiral of silence, and media logic.

2) Some key events in Santiago's journey include meeting people who guide him towards his destiny and overcoming various obstacles before finally finding the treasure.
3) The novel is praised for its inspiring message about following your dreams and how wanting something with all your heart can help the universe conspire to make it happen.
The sociology of news
The document discusses several key aspects of the sociology of news including:
1. News is a product manufactured by social, economic, and political institutions and practices, and represents a selective representation of reality.
2. While news may distribute information to large audiences, its influence is more cultural than direct causal control over society. News reflects powerful forces more than exercising autonomous power.
3. News sources like government officials and PR shape news content and the range of voices in debates, potentially narrowing public discussion.
4. Political and media institutions are intertwined, with politicians now seeking to influence public opinion through the media. The role of media depends on the specific political context.
The english east india company final
The English East India Company was granted a royal charter in 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I to trade in India. It established trading posts in Surat, Chennai, Mumbai, and Calcutta throughout the 1600s and 1700s. The company focused on profits over local needs. Key battles like the Battle of Plassey and Battle of Buxar expanded the company's control over India. By the 1800s, the company controlled most of India but faced a major revolt in 1857, leading the British crown to take control and establishing the British Raj.
Fort area, Mumbai
The document summarizes key historical sites and people associated with the Fort area of Mumbai, India. It describes Rajabai Tower, Bombay High Court, and Fort George - important landmarks constructed during British rule. It also mentions prominent individuals like Dadabhai Navroji who played influential roles in the area and its development.
