Personal Media Inventory The integration of advanced technologies with the traditional communication methods continually evolves thus enabling continuous methods of mass media to the public to further evolve as well. At any given moment, individuals have access to information for an array of purposes including research and entrainment (Bucy, 2005). In conducting the personal media inventory it was revealed that media access is a constant aspect of daily routine; often without even realizing that it is occurring. The personal media inventory communicates how media is a part of daily routine and occurs throughout the day through various venues. Description of Personal Media Inventory There are many different types of personal media that are used in one’s daily routine life.
Vanessa Duran May 19, 2013 HUM/176 Influence of Visual Media Paper The American culture has gained many benefits as well as challenges from visual media. It has assisted us in changing the way that we communicate with one another over the years. Television has been one of the biggest influences in my opinion. It has been in our homes over 60 years and many Americans rely on it on a daily basis. It gives us access to the news that is happening around the world.
Clearly, The Star and many other news agencies follow an organizational culture in the newspaper industry. Like many of the other news agencies, The Star has news sections covering sports, business, entertainment, etc. to gather a more diverse audience. These news agencies use a professional convention where they create different news sections which group news articles with similar focuses together. A professional convention is exactly what the context of the sentence implies: it is a resilient norm that is shared amongst many organizations in an industry and is practiced as if it were a rule.
Within the commercial magazine industry, photo magazines provided consumers of what was going on in the news and also included documentary stories of peoples’ lives. History Documentary photography can be dated back since the 1850’s (in America). It has allowed us to record and view accurate records of historic events such as wars, terrorism and also ordinary events within peoples’ lives. Initially, documentary photography mainly concentrated within industry and urban environments. Many documentary photos were designed to be kept in files and not to be displayed on walls.
In addition, it is a measure of responsibility and accountability for the freedom of press that is able to give counterarguments and provide a space for counterarguments regarding issues that are controversial and require a public debate so that the viewing and listening public can get a full knowledge of the issues being presented on both sides. It has always been a key rule of journalism (1), but the success is less clear, and the Fairness Doctrine has many pros and cons to this rule, and that is something that should be touched on. Another issue that will be talked about is if the Fairness Doctrine should be reintroduced or if it’s a good thing that this law doesn’t exists to the United States anymore. When the question came about to discuss the pros and con of the fairness doctrine I feel as though there was plenty of answers for this issue since I can oppose to both. I want to start off with discussing some pro arguments about the Fairness Doctrine.
Influence of Visual Media Various forms of entertainment media has shaped American culture and its values because American has adopted various forms of entertainment as its own. It is what a large amount of people live by, live on, and need to function properly. Things such as the news is something that many people including myself depend on daily in order to keep up with for crime, news, weather, what is going on in other places and surrounding areas, what is going on in the community, and many more. With all the different types of visual forms of entertainment such as televisions, computers, tablets, and phones we can keep up with a mass of media, such as news, favorite television shows, news alerts, weather, and e-mails especially on the go. There are some people who are more immune to sitting home watching television versus taking a walk outside or reading a book.
The mass media definitely plays an enormous role in influencing the public nowadays. In the age of globalization many technologies like Internet, television, newspapers, magazines, radio and so on, make news available and accessible for everyone around the world. The media can easily get any information out there to the public regarding any subject such as political views, health issues, entertainment, education, human tragedies…and those information do have an impact on our everyday life decisions, opinions and raise our awareness on a subject. The media is most of the time the only way people can get information on subject that they cannot fully understand such as science. Because “science is an encoded form of knowledge that requires translation in order to be understood” (Ungar 2000), many studies have shown that the media plays a very crucial role in raising people understanding of the scientific world and the environmental issues, especially the climate change and global warming.
In simplest of terms, these mediums provide us with information. We as humans then use the information as the basis for many of our decisions and standpoints on issues. There is no doubt that this information is significant and enlightening, but what most people do not consciously realize is how mass media is also highly persuasive. While some educated persons may see this in television programs, magazines and newspapers, there is a forgotten medium, which has a deep impact everyday on all of society. This medium touches the lives of every nation, of every culture, of every economic and every social class on a daily basis and has done so throughout history; music.
The Language of News Presenters The two BBC run news programmes Newsround and BBC News at Six use a wide array of language techniques to communicate the day’s news to two different target audiences-children and adults. The context in which the programmes are set influences the content of the programmes and the language choices of the presenters. The two programmes are of different lengths, affecting the contents and vocabulary used in the programmes. Newsround is a short programme lasting only ten minutes compared with the BBC News at Six which is a longer programme of about thirty minutes. Newsround therefore contains more fun facts for kids, succinct information and more entertainment news which is relevant to their lives “Find out why Katy Perry has been kissing (.)
Admittedly the survey I made cannot be very comprehensive and the tenor of my view can be exploratory. In this report, an assessment of the engineers’ portrayal in frequency and image by the media will first be made. Then the effects from the mass media to the perception in people’s mind will be analyzed. At last methods to make engineers more positive will be discussed. 2.
