The document discusses the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) which was proposed in the 1970s. It aimed to address imbalances in global communication and the dominance of Western news agencies. However, the United States opposed NWICO as it was seen as a threat to the free flow of information and the interests of American media corporations. The controversy around NWICO ultimately led to the United States and United Kingdom withdrawing from UNESCO in 1984 and 1985 respectively.

The McBride Commission was established in 1977 under UNESCO to study global communication issues. It was chaired by Irish diplomat Sean MacBride and included media experts from several countries. The commission's 1980 report, known as the MacBride Report, analyzed problems in the world communication system and imbalances between developed and developing nations. It considered complaints from non-aligned nations and tried to understand concerns of Western nations. The report defined issues causing conflicts between Eastern and Western blocs in transnational communication.
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.
PEMRA is responsible for regulating TV and radio in Pakistan and enforcing the Electronic Media Code of Conduct. It has taken actions like issuing notices, warnings, and fines against channels that violate the code by airing inappropriate content. PEMRA also provides training and advice to channels. While PEMRA has shown more proactivity under its new chairman, fully implementing the code remains a challenge, and media organizations need to practice more self-censorship to broadcast responsibly.

Public service broadcasters aim to both inform and entertain viewers while improving society. The BBC is a prime example, being formed in 1922 with a mandate from John Reith to educate, inform and entertain. Key dates include the start of BBC television in 1936 and the launch of commercial stations like ITV in 1954 and Channel 4 in 1982. Public service broadcasters are largely funded by licenses fees while commercial stations rely on advertising revenue. There is debate around whether the public service broadcasting model remains relevant in today's competitive media landscape.
Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky argued that five filters shape news reporting in mainstream media: financial ownership of media by wealthy individuals, reliance on advertising revenue, sourcing news from government and PR, vulnerability to negative responses ("flak") from powerful groups, and use of anti-communism/anti-terrorism as a frame against those threatening elite interests. Together these filters form a "propaganda model" that ensures media support for the political and economic status quo by marginalizing dissenting voices.

Conclusion states free media informs people, shows injustice to world, and strengthens democracy by acting as watchdog.
The document discusses the history and goals of development journalism. It began in the 1960s with a focus on critically analyzing government development projects and their impact. Today, development journalism aims to improve conditions in developing countries by investigating and reporting on issues like poverty, healthcare, education, and sustainability.

The document also discusses different eras in development communication theory, from modernization to participatory models emphasizing local voices.
Gandhi was a pioneering journalist who used newspapers and media to further his causes of non-violence and independence for India. He gained experience editing newspapers in South Africa and used publications like Indian Opinion, Young India, and Harijan to educate the public and organize supporters. Gandhi believed journalism should serve the people, avoid advertisements, and be practiced with self-restraint and adherence to truth.

History of media laws in Sub continent and PakistanAdan Butt
This document provides a history of media laws in the Indian subcontinent and Pakistan from the introduction of printing presses in the 16th century through 2017. It discusses the various acts passed by British and Pakistani governments to regulate and censor the press, including the licensing acts of the 18th-19th centuries, the Press and Publications Ordinance of 1961, and the shifting control of newspapers between independent organizations and state-run entities like the National Press Trust. The document also outlines some of the challenges faced by journalists and newspapers under different regimes like those of Ayub Khan and Yahya Khan.
The cultivation theory developed by Gerbner posits that heavy television viewing shapes peoples' perceptions of social reality. Gerbner's research found that heavy viewers perceived the world as a more dangerous place and overestimated risks like crime rates. Later research criticized some of Gerbner's conclusions. Gerbner then added the concepts of mainstreaming, where heavy viewing leads different groups to share outlooks, and resonance, where effects are stronger for groups relating to television content. The theory now claims television effects vary between subgroups rather than having uniform effects on all heavy viewers.
The Press Council of India is a statutory body that governs print and broadcast media in India to ensure freedom of speech. It was established in 1966 and can warn or censure journalists for ethics violations. It has 28 members including editors, journalists, management, and nominees from Parliament and fields like education. The Council handles complaints against and by the press, investigates issues like press freedom and media standards, and can direct authorities to ensure journalists' security. In one case, it recommended police protect a journalist receiving threats after publishing critical reports until the related criminal case was resolved.
According to cultivation theory, heavy television viewers are more likely to perceive social reality as portrayed on television. The theory proposes that extensive television exposure can influence viewers' beliefs about the world, such as exaggerating the prevalence of violence and danger. Cultivation analysis examines the long-term effects of repetitive television content on viewers' conceptions of social reality.
Media regulation aims to protect the public in three main ways: regulating content, access/distribution, and ownership. It has evolved from strict censorship to a more liberal classification system. Debate remains around balancing freedom of speech with protection, and whether regulation effectively prevents harm or merely restricts choice. New technologies challenge traditional regulators to control unclassified online content.
The document discusses various media conglomerates including their business activities and subsidiaries. It provides information on AT&T, Sony, Time Warner, and Viacom - four major media conglomerates that operate across different sectors like telecommunications, consumer electronics, entertainment, cable TV, broadcasting, publishing, movies and video games. The conglomerates own numerous brands and subsidiaries across these sectors.
The document discusses the relationship between media and society. It notes that media draws content from society and society uses media to educate and inform individuals. However, as media has become more commercialized and focused on profits, it has started prioritizing attracting audiences and advertisements over serving societal needs. This has led media to promote sensationalized and untrustworthy content. The document argues that the commercialization of media has created an unhealthy dynamic where media acts more as an industry catering to markets rather than as a watchdog for society.
Mass communication involves disseminating information to large audiences through mass media such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and the internet. Economic development aims to improve standards of living through actions that develop infrastructure, regional competitiveness, and social inclusion. The document discusses how different forms of mass media like movies, newspapers, television, radio, and advertisements can impact economic development and status by influencing individual or corporate profits, government transparency, consumer behavior, and industry revenues. Movies in particular are used as examples to show how blockbuster films can lead to billions in profits while promoting the economic standing of their contributors.
Public service broadcasting refers to non-commercial TV and radio programs that are intended for public benefit rather than commercial purposes. It includes local news, arts, and religious programs. Public service broadcasters are state-owned but independent of political interference. In contrast, commercial broadcasters are privately owned and more focused on promoting advertisers' interests through entertainment and reality shows. Prasar Bharati is India's largest public broadcaster, comprising Doordarshan television and All India Radio. The BBC is the world's oldest and largest public service broadcaster, providing impartial broadcasting across television, radio, and online in the UK and worldwide.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

2024 HIPAA Compliance Training Guide to the Compliance Officers
Week by week pregnancy
1. Week 1
Week 2
WEEK-BY-WEEK PREGNANCY
You're actually not
pregnant yet—the clock
starts ticking from the
first day of your last
period. So even though
pregnancies are said to
be 40 weeks long, you
only carry your baby for
38 weeks.
Ovulation occurs. For
the best chances of
getting pregnant, have
sex one to two days
before your expected
ovulation date.
2. Week 3
Week 4
You may be pregnant
but probably won't
have any symptoms.
Positive test: You're
pregnant! You may be
starting to feel bloated,
crampy, tired and
moody, and
experiencing sore
breasts,
nausea/vomiting and a
frequent need to
pee. But don't worry if
you're not—that's
normal.
3. Week 5
Week 6
Though the embryo is
only about the size of a
grain of sand, the heart is
pumping blood, most
other organs have begun
to develop, and arm and
leg buds appear. You
may be starting to
experience "pregnancy
brain."
Now that the
pregnancy is feeling
more real, you might
be worrying about
miscarriage.
4. Week 7
Week 8
The embryo doubles in
size but is still less than
a half-inch long. As
your pregnancy
hormones increase,
morning sickness may
be worsening. Or, you
may be ravenous 24/7.
Your doctormay look or
listen for the baby's
heartbeat with an
ultrasound. Once you
see or hear it, your
miscarriage risk drops to
about 2 percent. He'll
also give you an official
due date—though very
few women actually
deliver on that day.
5. Week 9
Week 10
The pressure of your
growing uterus on
your bladder may
cause you to leak
small amounts of
urine.
Your inch-long baby is
now called a fetus. While
the icky side effects of
pregnancy may be
starting to abate, your
anxiety about having a
healthy baby might be
increasing.
6. Week 11
Week 12
Your cravings may run the
gamut from cheeseburgers
to chalk (really!). Weird
nonfood cravings are known
as pica and can reflect a
deficiency in your diet. This
week, nearly all of the
fetus's organs are beginning
to function, and genitals
begin to take on male or
female form.
Your uterus has begun
to expand outside the
protective pelvic
bones. It will increase
in size by almost 1,000
times by the end of
your pregnancy! You
may really be starting
to show now,
especially if it's not
your first baby
7. Week 13
Week 14
Now that you've
finished your first
trimester, you can
start eating for two—
a little. Plan on
gaining about 12
pounds during the
next 14 or so weeks.
Your renewed energy
(and end to morning
sickness) may lull you
into thinking you can
take on a marathon, but
follow this guideline:
Work out only so hard
that you can carry on a
conversation without
getting out of breath.
8. Week 15
Week 16
The "window of
opportunity" for many
important screening and
diagnostic tests opens
this week, should you
decide to undergo them.
Sometime between 16
and 22 weeks, you'll start
to feel your baby move.
9. Week 17
Week 18
Your sleep may be
marked by vivid and
bizarre dreams, often
reflecting anxiety you
might have about
childbirth and
parenthood.
Just when you thought
you couldn't possibly
take any more pee
breaks, you do. It's
inevitable: As your
baby grows, your
bladder shrinks (or so
it seems).
10. Week 19
Week 20
Now that you're feeling
better, it's time to spend
some quality time with
your partner. So have
sex! Unless you're
having complications,
it's safe for most women
throughout pregnancy.
You're halfway there,
which means your
uterus has reached
your navel! The
nesting urge is
probably kicking in.
Have fun with it, but
don't go overboard and
exhaust yourself.
11. Week 21
Week 22
If you're 35 or older,
have chronic high blood
pressure or diabetes or
are carrying multiples,
you are at a higher risk
of preeclampsia. It can
occur this early, but
usually doesn't set in
until the third trimester.
You may be developing
hemorrhoids and
constipation. Lucky
you! At this point, the
fetus weighs almost a
pound.
12. Week 23
Week 24
Your doctormay soon
advise you to steer
clear of long-distance
travel—not because it
is unsafe, but because
she wants you close
by in case you go into
labor.
If you are 30 or older,
have a family history
of diabetes, are
Hispanic or obese, you
are at increased risk for
gestational diabetes. It
typically has no
symptoms.
13. Week 25
Week 26
You may be afflicted
with heartburn and
leg cramps, especially
at night.
Your to-do list is
getting longer while
you're getting more
tired. Your fetus begins
to sleep for longer
periods now, often
when you do. Its eyes
open and are beginning
to blink.
14. Week 27
Week 28
You may be distressed
to see the numbers on
the scale creep (OK,
jump) up: From here
on out, you'll probably
be gaining about 1
pound a week. This
still only translates to
about 300 extra
calories a day, though.
Welcome to the third
trimester! Braxton
Hicks ("practice")
contractions usually
start about now. They
feel like an
intermittent tightening
in your abdomen.
15. Week 29
Week 30
The basketball-sized
lump in your belly may
be inhibiting shoe tying,
leg shaving and the like.
The fetus is increasingly
sensitive to light and
sound.
You might find yourself
increasingly breathless
as your growing uterus
crowds your diaphragm.
It should ease a bit
when the baby drops
lower in your pelvis
later in pregnancy.
16. Week 31
Week 32
You may be noticing a
gradual decrease in the
power of your baby's
kicks and punches as
space in utero becomes
tighter. This is normal.
Starting to lose some of
its glow. Having your
baby shower right about
now might give you just
the boost you need.
17. .Week 33
Week 34
Don't get too married to
your dream delivery:
Even if you're hoping
for a vaginal birth,
there's a nearly 1 in 3
chance you'll have a C-
section.
You may be driving
yourself—not to mention
your mate—crazy making
sure your house is spit-
shined and the nursery is
fit for a king (or queen).
Keep it in perspective: All
you really need is a car
seat, a place for the baby
to sleep, diapers and some
basic clothes.
18. Week 35
Week 36
There's a good chance
your body harbors
Group B streptococcus
bacteria without your
knowing it. If it
colonizes in the vagina
and is left untreated, it
can infect your baby at
birth.
The baby may drop
lower into your pelvis
in preparation for
delivery. This should
make it easier to
breathe—yet your pee
breaks will become
ever more frequent.
19. Week 37
Week 38
Your breasts may be
leaking colostrum—
your baby's first food.
Plus, you may feel so
huge and
uncomfortable that
you're tempted to ask
your doctor to induce
you early.
Your pregnancy is
considered full-term
now, and the
lanugo—the downy
hair that covered your
baby's body—is
starting to disappear.
20. Week 39
Week 40
If you're still working,
don't beat yourself up if
you decide to go on leave
a little earlier than you
planned.
If you haven't delivered
yet, your OB will
monitor you more
closely. Some docs will
allow women to go two
weeks past their due
date; most will induce
by
