Current problems in the media.?

Question

I have to write a paper for my expository writing class and I need a topic. The topic has to have something to do with the media. Examples we read in class were: internet hate sites, spam, censorship of war photos. I cannot think of a good topic to write about. The paper only has to be 750 words, so I don't need a ton of information.

Answer 1

point and counter-point, do we really need to know all the information being put out by the media, on the war or what ever you choose, or were we better off as a nation when we knew less, about devistation of war, behind closed doors in the white house, etc

Answer 2

Do a little research on the deregulation of the media and relaxing the fcc rules, thereby allowing single companies to hold a larger market share. This deregulation has effectively squashed the little guy, leaving only 5 companies in chare of all of the information you recieve on a daily basis. No more independent media. Only corporate media. Big business is telling you what to think. Etc.

Answer 3

They are owned by corporations that have their own agendas or special interests. Example would be GE owns NBC. GE also builds bombs for the military. Hmm.

Look for a book called 'Weapons of Mass Deception'. It explains what is wrong with the media today. It is really good.

Answer 4

Media NOT asking the tough question put forth to Bush about the Iraq situation.

Answer 5

Personally, I find it extremely interesting how virtually all major media is owned by the ruling, elite, royal blooded Illuminati.

"bias of the mainstream media"
