Due to the prominence of the World Wide Web, the number of Internet users increases rapidly. Specifically, a well-known social media service currently available in the information domain is online news. Following Karlsson and Strömback (2010), this service has two crucial benefits for users: interactivity (i.e., access to relevant information only and the possibility to make comments) and immediacy (i.e., availability in almost real-time). Thus, online news disrupted the way in which news…

The era we live in is so heavily influenced by technology that it can often times blur our understanding of reality. We as a society are more connected than any other era in this world. That idea in itself is very intimidating. In the blink of an eye a leaked image can reach millions of people. We see this happen all the time, artist or big corporate companies have images, sound bits, product details etc. leaked to the world in a matter of seconds. More times than not those images are false…

Majority of women in the world believe that being that “ideal beauty” of what the world considers beautiful is top priority and is the sole reason of their existence. Women are given certain roles and expectations from the media. The true identity of a woman seems to have been lost.

Instead of honoring a women of her individuality, her purpose and strengths, she is brained washed that a certain beauty is the…

can result in a more positive society. Although, at this moment they are separate entities, as proposed by Bowen (2012) they could easily become one-in-the-same.

However, this will only be achieved if the two professions can recognise their similarities instead of solely highlighting their…

Broadcast journalism, as a whole, paints females as frail, fragile, and weak. We are the victims, never the heroes. Women are considered as the lesser sex, and in many aspects, are seen as an object--like a man’s toy or pet. A little trophy, always still and always…

reach the higher positions within journalism, despite entering journalism training in greater numbers than men. One thought is that the media industry feels like an ‘old boys club’ with men holding all the positions of power, and promoting those who reflect them and their interests. A potential solution to this is to encourage mentoring between senior female journalists and new entrants to the profession. By encouraging women who have achieved success within journalism to help bring younger…

changing nature of popular journalism in the second half of the nineteenth century? Northcliffe revolution, commercial journalism, new journalism, society journalism, and “massocratic journalism” are words generally ascribed to the emergence of popular journalism. Popular journalism can be defined as quick and cheap journalism, which appeased the whole population. Examples include tabloid newspaper companies such as the Pall Mall Gazette and the Daily Mail. Commercial journalism was a…

Media has become the “fourth pillar of the government” in Turkey, ever since the first private media outlets emerged in the 1980s (Çaglar & Çakar-Mengü, 2009). The lack of laws to limit the monopolization and acquiring the competition in relation to media companies, made it easier for influential and wealthy individuals to create media cartels in Turkey. Unlike other profit driven businesses, media that has been created or acquired to maximize profits in non-media related sectors is likely to…

Advancements and technology have forever changed the face of mass media. Society has shied away from utilizing a market dominated by a few large firms prevalent since the early 1950’s. Mass Media has done a complete transformation, and with each change there has been a better outcome each time.A few great examples are the development of newspapers superseding town criers because newspapers offered an opportunity to record information. Magazines then superseded newspapers due to a broader scope…
