    The first debatable assumption in Rothman’s argument is that the media made the wrong decision in siding with the protestors. To illustrate his claim, Rothman makes the passionate case that the media should remain impartial, when he states, “The Press has not played a neutral, dispassionate role in its intensive of the upheaval” (18). The author fails to note that rarely do newspapers and news websites operate without some form of partiality. Many people read certain newspapers for the journalist’s commentary; because the views of the author are opinions the reader can agree with. To convince his audience that the media sided with the protestors, Rothman uses good examples.…

    From the beginning of time, human civilization has fed upon the circulating world of obtaining, assembling, and broadcasting information upon a wide-spread scale. With sources ranging from the earliest form of publicized word to the current reality of active pictures and dramatic screenplay, society has been infused with an environment of news broadcast. Unfortunately, since the creation of television journalism, the overall goal has shifted from knowledgeable reports to pure entertainment. A platform once used to inform the audience of significant and impacting events has transformed into a network’s obsession with maintaining the audience’s interest. The target is not to keep the public well-informed, but rather to play upon America’s ever-shortening attention spans…

    Julie Rose is interviewing people on fourth of July questions, while Sarah Batista is taking on a case of a male murdering his parents. As seen, Julie Rose's story is less dramatic as Sarah Batista's. Both interviews go to sources to where they believe they will gain valuable information.

    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).…

    Since the beginning of American journalism, there has been a relationship between the reader and journalist of supply and demand. The reader wants scandalous or critical news and the journalist is happy to provide. In the 1960s, Clare Boothe Luce, in a speech made for the journalists in Women's National Press Club, criticizes the journalists for their seemingly mindless continuation of the supply and demand cycle. Luce challenges them to focus on the complete truth, rather than a fantastical half-truth. She prepares the audience for this message by beginning with a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of her message, using an ironic tone, not to be missed by the journalists, and by using ethos to remind the journalists what their responsibilities entail.…

    News stories are biased because of how they are interpreted by people and what the media chooses to include or not include in their stories. This makes it biased. We all receive information and think about things differently. It’s not the news that presents the events differently, it is the individual and their understanding of the past and present that forms their opinion about the events presented. Therefore, bias in the news will always be there because we all view and interpret information our own way and the information presented or left out of the news stories can influence our opinions.…

    Entmans’ piece on framing left me believing that salience is key when reporting on a topic, or covering an issue. We touched on the fact that gatekeepers, or a few elites, decide what is newsworthy. Salience means “making a piece of information more noticeable, meaningful, or memorable to audiences… enhance[ing] the probability that receivers will receive the information, discern meaning and thus process it, and store it in memory” (Fiske & Taylor, 1991; Entman, 53). So, I pose this question: if the news we consume is predetermined, are our opinions on said issue truly authentic?…

    Thousands Less Could Have Had HIV If you were to randomly line up 100 residents of Washington D.C., you can be assured that about three of them are living with HIV/AIDS. Washington D.C. has had the highest AIDS diagnosis rate in the country for years, and a high percentage of those cases are a result of injection drug use. With those statistics in mind, one would expect implementing a clean needle exchange program to be incontestable. Former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr is opposed, and made his opposition public during a 1999 Congressional hearing on battling the HIV epidemic.…
