Modern journalism is a mix of many mediums as the text book points out. We are now flooded with internet news and T.V news as well as print news publications. This chapter brought up how many unimportant issues are blown way out of proportion and given way to mush attention the news, just look at the Tiger woods media fiasco. Sadly this is what more and more people want to see and learn more about why? are the real issues just too hard to digest?
Chapter 15: Media Effects
This chapter of the text was about how the media affects our culture. It is scary that violence in the media has made effect on our society's aggressive behaviors. There are so many problems with our media portraying drug use, sex, violence, and alcoholism, that it is safe to assume that is why these things are becoming more socaily accepted
Chapter 16: Legal Controls
Ahh yes we do have our freedom of speech don't we? It's most likely the most important right we have. and if we didn't have it i dont think we would be in this class would we? We can make fun of our presidents we can question our government and we should its important to want to know why they are doing things and why they aren't. sadly too many americans just don't care. They don't bother to figure out why we are at war with iraq they just know Bush said it was a good idea and so their with him on it.
