Glasser's, Awad's, and Kim's study analyzes how four newspapers have written from different points-of-view relating to the same event. Two of the newspapers have written professionally, without attempting to influence the readers in any way. In contrast, the other two newspapers have written so that the public would get a wrong idea of the incident. Just as in the present case, it is normal for media services from within a local community to write differently than bigger, more specialized, media services. The journalists from the two newspapers which have distorted reality and have written the articles from their own points-of-view belong to the community involved in the incident discussed. The respective journalists have turned an ordinary conflict (between the officials and their community over the building of a mall) into a cry for help from a community presumably discriminated for years.
It is of no relevance whether or not the respective journalists were right or not and if their community had actually been discriminated by the authorities. What is worrying is that the public can see how newspapers are not always impartial, and, that in the cases when journalists are implicated in the topic being discussed, articles are unpleasantly altered.
The writers from the two local newspapers have forgotten what their main duty as journalists had been....
The newspapers have taken advantage of the fact that their community had previously been reported of suffering from discrimination. Using this information, the writers have gone as far as comparing the people involved in the mall incident with those that had formerly segregated their district.
The Claims of Multiculturalism and Journalism's Promise of Diversity certainly provides important information concerning how news can easily be altered by the persons making them. From such studies people can learn that they have to carefully choose the places from where they get their information if they want to be correctly informed. A first step toward receiving proper information is choosing to read from large publications, since there is a smaller probability for a large enterprise to risk getting sanctioned. Also, one needs to read and compare several sources in order to reach a verdict concerning the authenticity of a certain source.
The fact that there are a lot of sources to choose from in the present day stands as an advantage for people world wide, since information is not being imposed and they can identify which sources are trustworthy are which are not.

Media Representation of Issues in Immigration Immigration is a fundamental element of American history. Centuries ago, immigration was not the issue that it is in the 21st century. There is a very small percentage of Americans that can trace their heritage back to the beginning of the country without at least one family member or even generation of family that are not immigrants. Around the turn of the 20th century, with
ACCOUNTS OF INVOLVEMENT ABU-GHRAIB EPISODE International Media played vital role when the United States was in search of enough evidence for launching military attacks against Iraq. The government was provided with accounts of significant importance and relevance related to the Sadam Hussein and his government. The media secretly photographed different installations that were alleged by the Security Council and United States as sites for nuclear weaponry and plants. The United States submitted
Media and Conflict The existence of a pro-business, pro-government bias led to ineffectual journalistic coverage of U.S. unemployment during the period leading up to the 2008-2009 recession. In what has come to be known as the Great Recession because of its comparability to the Great Depression, the U.S. unemployment rate reached historic highs. The magnitude of the recession was such that economists and policy-makers should have been better prepared to manage
Media Artifact in American Culture Twitter: An Arising Media Artifact in American Culture In the course of an average year in viewing mainstream American culture, an innumerable amount of fads come and go, gaining their respective fifteen minutes of fame on the stage that is set by the American media industry. After spending what is often a brief time in the spotlight, these media trends tend to fade out nearly as abruptly
Because there was not the time or means to get a very diverse population of individuals, there may be some limitations when it comes to social class as well as previous levels of aggression in the children and youths. There are only two girls compared with the eight boys. This may be considered a limitation as well, but more parents of boys answered the ad and this may be because
Media Coverage of the Scott Peterson Case man allegedly slaughters his pregnant wife in cold blood! This sensational headline for the sensational case of Scott Peterson could very easily and ironically, accurately sum up the details of Peterson case. Peterson is accused of pretending to go fishing on Christmas Eve, killing his wife and his unborn son because of anxieties about becoming a father and because he desired his beautiful
