News media

In the early 20th century, approximately 50 corporations controlled the majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been controlled by just six incredibly wealthy powerful media corporations. Comcast, News Corp, Viacom, Disney, Time Warner and CBS own 90% of the media people depend on for news and information. In 198, 90% of the media was owned by 50 companies so what happened? The Telecommunications Act of 1996, changed the telecommunications…

For the past two decades, we’ve thought of “new media” as the upstart and “old media” as reliable media. But what if new media isn’t as new as we think it is and maybe old media isn’t the oldest type of media? Though many people believe that we have come such a long way from previous social media outlets, nothing has really changed. Twenty years ago, my mother was calling her friends on landlines and meeting up at the local cafes. Today, I’m calling my friends on my iPhone and meeting up at the…

Use of new media in my life is pretty light. Compared to others around me it’s almost as if I live in the dark ages. Now, I’m nowhere near that level of hermit. I have my vices; particularly with my smart phone. My iPhone lives in my front left pocket and I do have a propensity towards its use. I have a girlfriend with a schedule busier than my own so non-face to face communication between us has become key. It also holds my music. Visiting the gym daily, at least two hours of my day is spent…

The news media has been a major source of information for the public ever since the printing press, where it has since grown exponentially. This essay claims that the news media…

(1) The role of news media over the time has been mixed and different theorists have tried to explain each of these roles in their own ways. We see a clear distinction between how media could actually serve the purpose of placing checks on the society or actually aiding the entities that need to be made accountable by the very same media. As the term “fourth estate” for the news media was coined in the 18th century that recognized the role of press in the society as a fourth pillar of the…

sources for news. Nowadays media has expanded to many more choices for the public. There are both advantages and disadvantages with many choices. Media has become merely focused on getting ratings, making money and covering easy stories, while keeping viewers intrigued. Media is a good way for people to stay informed, however it does not always inform the total truth. Media is a source where people can look for news and stay up to date, but what some of the viewers might not know is that media…

On page ten, Larson states, “new media – especially the Internet and digital formats – have resulted in a whole new game of social monopoly” (Larson, 2012). For this reason, I think that it is increasingly challenging to engage in persuasion ethically today than it was 20-30 years ago. As the world becomes increasingly more tech driven, it is changing how quickly we make decisions and are persuaded by the media. For example, the average American spends more than a thousand hours watching…

News media has controlled the way information is broadcasted and presented to the public. Articles surrounding constant controversy can be written in different views regarding bias against the major parties involved in a controversy. A great example of these bias in news media is the current ongoing separation and divorce battle between Hollywood heart throb Johnny Depp and soon to be ex-wife Amber Heard. With both parties having their share of fans it is no surprise that media outlets are…
