    The role of media violence in violent crime has been exaggerated is very much an issue Media violence has become a scapegoat, onto which we lay blame for a host of social problems. Sociologist Todd Gatling describes how "the indiscriminate fear of television in particular displaces justifiable fears of actual dangers—dangers of which television ... provides some disturbing glimpses." Concerns about media and violence rest on several flawed, yet taken-for-granted assumptions about both media and violence. These beliefs appear to be obvious in emotional arguments about "protecting" children. So while these are not the only problems with blaming media, this [viewpoint] will address four central assumptions: (Mass Media, 2010).…

    Newspapers Convergence to the Internet

    With the ever increasing need to be informed of current news and the popularity of newspapers, the internet has become a better resource for satisfying such a need. Though the printed form of newspapers are becoming less popular, its availability online has been prosperously increasing throughout the years. Today, the printed mass media are declining but methods and the spread of news have never been so popular. Newspapers are not dead, they’re simply undergoing disruptive transition (1). Such transition is to converge with the internet to keep pace with the changes in society.…

    Desensitization and Media Violence

    The impact of violence in the media relating to the society is an intense topic discussed in this century. Gerbner defined violence as “a threat or use of physical force, directed against the self or others in which physical harm or death is involved” (cited in Giddens, 2006, p. 610). The media includes different means of communication, such as television, radio, newspapers, video games; internet etc. People make use of media as a source of information, entertainment and leisure activity (Brown, 2005, p. 161). According to O’Donnell (2005), the two main roles of the media are to make profit in terms of money and promote particular ideology. The information that people see, hear or read has great influence on people’s identities, values and interests. It also affects the way people think and act regarding particular issues based on the “provided” evidence (Brown, 2005,p. 162). However, people have ability to evaluate and decide what they hear, see or read based on their social experiences, ethnic origin, social class and gender (Brown, 2005, p. 185). Now, the questions arise as, what is the relationship between media violence and the violence in the society? Whether media violence cause people to behave violently or it desensitizes people?…

    Media and Islam

    An area of popular research throughout the last two decades is the study of mainstream media and it’s depiction of individuals that follow the Islamic faith. It is evident that Muslims encounter countless stereotypes through the lens of Western media consumers. This essay will highlight events occurring after the September 11, 2001 World Trade Centre attacks and ultimately display the Islamophobia present within politics. It is through this research that I will outline the stereotypes prevalent whilst providing contemporary media examples. Overall, this essay will argue that Islamophobia is prevalent in contemporary Western media; however, combating this Islamophobia is also evidently visible. Furthermore, due to certain media structures such as corporate ownership dominance and cultural consensus, Islam is viewed as the antagonist of Western culture. Overall, this essay will focus on the two evident spectrums of media coverage of Muslims and their religion as a topic of discourse. Through this essay I will aim to conclude that though extreme Islamophobia is prevalent in Western media, there is many media outlets that look to eliminate Islamophobia and Xenophobia altogether. The media coverage that will be analyzed will be highlighting Quebec’s political party; Parti Quebecois’ proposal for secular changes to the Quebec Charter and the recent Boston Marathon Bombing media coverage.…

    The Rise of Social Media and Its Impact on Mainstream Journalism

    I am immensely grateful to all those who helped with this study, which was conducted in ten weeks or so in the summer of 2009. The topicality of the subject (particularly the emerging story of Iran) forced frequent rethinks of structure and focus and I am would like to thank my academic supervisors for their guidance and support. In particular I’d like to thank Bill Dutton at the Oxford Internet Institute for his suggestions and ideas and the staff at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, John Lloyd, James Painter and David Levy, for their consistent advice and encouragement. Thanks also to visiting fellows Andrew Currah, Robert Picard and Juan Señor, who helped to broaden my thinking. This study would not have been possible without the open participation of five of the world’s largest mainstream media organisations. I was delighted at the generosity with which senior executives and busy practitioners gave their time and insights. I am also indebted to academics and commentators, who were also hugely generous with their time and supportive of the enterprise as a whole. I would like to thank the BBC for continuing to encourage programmes such as the Reuters fellowship and allowing me space and time to develop detailed thinking in this area. And last, but not least, a heartfelt thank you to my wife Tamsin and the rest of the family for putting up with my long absences, preoccupied behaviour and overuse of 140 character communication.…

    Islam and Western Media

    In July 12, 2008 publication of the New York Times, it was reported that the President of Sri Lanka was killed in a suicide attack. The religion of the suicide bomber was never reported. The very same newspaper (on November 5, 2009), reported that how a Muslim attacker attacked the US Base and killed US army soldiers. This discrimination against the Muslims and Islam is nothing but the fruit of Western Media’s propaganda against the Muslims and Islam. In Western countries, Islam is often looked upon as an "extremist", "terrorist", or "fundamental" religion. In many cases, the media’s reports about Islam are incorrect due to ignorance. This is one of the reasons why the West often hates Islam. In contrast to what many Westerners think of Islam, Islam is a peaceful religion, which does not promote any forms of uncalled for fighting or "terrorist" actions.…

    critical analysis on the Journalism studies in India

    In 1920, the foundations for Journalism as a discipline in India were framed by Annie Besant, founder-editor of New India who started mass communication training in Madras. Journalism studies had been introduced in India way before it gained independence. India’s first institution of mass communication was tried at the Aligarh Muslim University in 1938, where a concrete plaque for a regular communication school was formed. The school was established by Punjab University (then located in Lahore) in 1941. Ever since, India has seen the rise in number of journalism and mass communication institution to the point that it now harbors over 100 schools in universities and over twice that much outside the university system. Most programs offered in these institutions are at the post graduate level with a focus to cultivate the required suitable skills the profession demands. However, journalism studies in India are still considered to be adolescent. Mass media and journalism studies in India have been concerned most importantly with the print form of media for a long time, the reason for which is the minimalistic infrastructure required to start such an academic program. Gradually most institutions went on to inculcate the other forms of media such as broadcast, radio and social media into their syllabuses which demand a greater infrastructure than print journalism.…

    Media in Pakistan

    Media in Pakistan

    Pakistan has a vibrant media landscape; among the most dynamic in South Asia. To a large extent the media enjoys freedom of expression in spite ofpolitical pre ssure and direct bans sometimes administered by political stake-holders. More than 40 television channels beam soaps, satire, music programmes, films, religious speech, political talk shows, and news of the hour. Although sometimes criticised for being unprofessional and politically biased, the television channels have made a great contribution to the media landscape and to Pakistani society. Radio channels are numerous and considered a very important source of information – especially in rural areas. Besides the state channel Radio Pakistan, a number of private radios carry independent journalistic content and news. But most radio content is music and entertainment. There are hundreds of Pakistani newspapers from the large national Urdu newspapers to the small local vernacular papers. Media demographics reflect a multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and stratified class society with a clear divide between Urdu and English media. Urdu media are mostly consumed by the rural population. The English media targets urban and the elite and is more liberal and professional in comparison. English print, television and radio channels have far smaller audiences than their Urdu counterparts, but have great leverage among opinion makers, politicians, the business community, and the upper strata of society. Besides the Urdu/English and Rural/Urban divide, Pakistan media is also di vided linguistically with a series of media in vernacular languages, such as Punjabi, Pashto and Sindhi. Pakistan‟s media sector is highly influenced by the ownership structure. There are three dominating media moguls, or large media groups, which to some extent also have political affiliations. Due to their dominance in both print and broadcast industries all three media…
