    Similarly, Bonner and Faludi accuse our country's media of being corrupt after the attack on September 11th. Both writers state in the beginnings of their works the weakness of the media and United States citizens. This weakness is not described as a weakness that contributed to the attack, but instead a weakness of how we interpreted life in the aftermath. Bonner and Faludi both argue people are too quick to believe anything and everything the media shares publicly. “After the attacks, journalists were swept up in the national feelings of fear and outrage -- and failed to do their job”, this quote is the very first statement made by Bonner in his article (2011 para. 1).…

    To him, there are 2 targets of propaganda; a political class of 20 percent of the population who are under the control of the business elites—they sometimes own it—and the masses (or the “people”) are alienated and controlled by the necessary illusions. The idea of necessary illusions represents the way the elite dominates how things happens with a part of the people (the 20 percent) involved and the other (the 80 percent) diverted and marginalized. The media is used and owned by the elite to create those illusions that are quite necessary to divert the masses from the political…

As for intellectual humility, I would honestly say that I was somewhat arrogant in my thinking. I am currently working towards a better understanding and applying intellectual humility to my life. An example being this week when my dad and I were talking about the incident at the crossroads mall.…

    Pablo Boczkowski, in his article “Fake news and the future of journalism” explains this dilemma, “there is a crisis in the cultural authority of knowledge that affects not only journalism but other key institutions of modern life, including science, medicine, and education.”. Boczkowski may have been trying to infer the possibility fake news have longer tendrils than previously thought. In this way, Boczkowski explains that the societal issue of fake news goes far beyond contemporary journalism and instead is an issue with societies pusillanimity. A similar voice expressing the possible culprit may be society itself is David Uberti in his article, “The real history of fake news”. As Uberti exclaims, “A thumbnail history shows marked similarities to today’s fakery in editorial motive or public gullibility… It also suggests that the recent fixation on fake news has more to do with macro-level trends than any new brand of faux content.”.…

    The more journalists attempt to achieve objectivity the more they lead to bias as to back up their theories or stories they invite ‘experts’ who are industry and political sources or members of elite groups. The postmodern media is of no value as all judgements are based to reach a certain audience. As we live in an age of propaganda, all stories demand for objectivity but leads to bias as the need for source credibility to establish an ‘objective view.’ It is also said to reflect modern society and representations of things like religion, sex, class. An example of this is the Islamophobia representation in the media with major news themes all start with…

    For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed learning which is why for me it has never been a task to go to school. I recall that beginning on my first day of Kindergarten I made my mom drive me to school early because I wanted to be the first one in class. I was that kid - the one that was always on time, always answered questions ( maybe even more than I should have), and who could be considered a “nerd/geek.” But I never took offense to those names because I knew they stood for what I represented and quite frankly I was never shy about the enjoyment I took in learning. However, somewhere along my educational career in middle school, I began to lose the joy I took in learning or rather the methods through which I was made to learn.…

    Nevertheless, as suggested by Michael Dahlstrom from Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, these “narratives are not subject to the same truth requirements as logical-scientific communication,” which forces some information to fit into the mold of the narrative than the facts (13617). For instance, eagerness to search for confirmation in the field of science, where uncertainty and volatility is inherent may, prompt journalists to present the negative consequences of an emerging technology and hide the benefits. The impact of the way the media transcribes its articles affects society’s way of thinking and its way of running. For example, costly distorted information can affect “political actions,” and “individual decisions” (Retzbach and Maier…
