Communications Markets and Media Broadcasting
Pages: 16 Words: 5070

]
Younger people (18- to 34-year-olds) are much more likely to view television news as mainly interested in serving the public interest (57.5% vs. 46.7%). Creating a local brand and attracting the most viewers is the name of the game in the battle for ratings and revenues. The local newscast defines the image of the station, and now more than ever local stations need up-to-date newscasts to keep audiences tuned in. Local stations have problems that the bigger markets do not have, tapping into news and information-gathering networks for state, national, and international news, sports, business, entertainment, politics and weather. The newsgathering services they utilize truly define their on-air and online brand. They can even build audience share with videos, audios, graphics, photos, text, newsroom systems and online multimedia. It will take this kind of up-to-date technology and style of newscasts to attract the younger people in today's market.

In the year 1961 America's President John F. Kennedy appointed a young Chicago lawyer, who incidentally was not a member of the Washington D.C.

Analyzing the Broadcasting Situation
Pages: 6 Words: 1925

level of public intervention in broadcasting is justified by the existence of market failures that mean, left to itself, the broadcast market would not serve the public interest as well as it could or should'. Discuss.
The ritish roadcasting Corporation is the key player in public service broadcasting in the UK. The organization was established in 1926 as a public corporation. The company is funded with the revenue generated from licenses. All TV owners are required to purchase these licenses. The corporation is prohibited from running advertisements on any of its channels. ritain's public broadcasting became free of state control in the 60s. The relinquishing of state monopoly gave birth to many other broadcasting stations with a commercial bias, but they were still controlled strictly. The new entities were run on revenue generated from advertizing. They also sold licenses that allowed viewers to enjoy their programs. The set up still…...

Mogel's #5: Carefully read the want ads in trade publications. Mogel's #6: Give thought to going to graduate school in broadcast journalism. You may not want to be a reporter as a career, but Mogel writes that journalism could "give you the edge you need to get the right job." He adds that perhaps a better idea for some individuals would be to work a couple years in radio first, to see if that is really the career you want, then attend graduate school. There are "excellent extension courses offered by some colleges" and they offer a "practical alternative to graduate school" plus they give you a professional education while you are working during the daytime.
Number 7 on Mogel's list: "Take pains with each cover letter. Don't blow the impact of a good resume with a bad cover letter." This is of course good advice no matter what job…...

Pages: 2 Words: 501

wireless content delivery and its implications for sport broadcasting rights fees?
Over the last several years, a technological revolution has taken place in the field of consumer electronics. This is occurring through rapid shifts in the way information is provided, delivered and the formats that are available. At the heart of these changes, are the shifts to wireless devices. This is when various game consoles, computers and cell phones have the capability of performing a variety of applications. This is transforming how consumers are receiving and watching different kinds of TV programs and movies utilizing the Internet.

Controlling Broadcasting of Sports Entertainment in Europe
Pages: 4 Words: 1272

Sports Clubs and Their Channels
The operations of opening a channel under a soccer sports club depend on a number of factors such as rights, the broadcasting networks in the operating country, and the events broadcasted. This paper will explain the operations of three sports club channels, one in England, Spain and Italy, and show how the process is different for each and what the individual strategies are.

In England the soccer club Manchester United operates its own TV channel called Manchester United TV (MUTV). It began broadcasting in 1998 and was originally owned by ITV plc, BSkyB and Manchester United. Thus, it was not exclusively a soccer club venture but rather a joint venture between broadcasting giants and the sports club. As the Sky platform began to take over the sporting arena in terms of establishing contracts giving it the right to broadcast first team live events, the relevancy of MUTV…...

Planet Earth the British Broadcasting
Pages: 2 Words: 605


Another main reason why Planet Earth is so successful is that the series delivers substantial quality content. The writing is accessible, lacking jargon, but still never dumbed-down or didactic. Individual episodes are so packed with information that viewers can look forward to watching again and again, and likely learn new things each time.

The producers opted for each episode to be about a familiar but broad ecosystem: such as caves, deserts, shallow seas, and deep ocean. This allows each individual episode to contain information about several different types of animals that exist in that ecosystem, and shows how the flora and fauna interact and coexist. Thus, no episode becomes bogged down by too much emphasis on one creature or one process of nature. At the same time, the producers select a few animals and processes to focus on instead of overwhelming the audience with too much data. To deliver scientific information…...

First Amendment and Broadcasting Content
Pages: 2 Words: 619

First Amendment rights are not absolute, particularly in regards to advertising. For example, there has been a great deal of pressure to regulate advertising directed at children that promotes unhealthy junk food. "There is a legal test for judging whether commercial speech qualifies for protection under the First Amendment. Called the Central Hudson test, it says that such speech must be truthful and not 'actually or inherently misleading'" and it has been argued that much of commercial advertising targeting children takes advantage of a credulous consumer's inability to tell the difference between truth and fiction (Bittman, 2012, par.11). In this instance, however, the objections raised to our new advertising campaign are not targeted at children. Rather, the concern is merely that children may see inappropriate material, even if it is not intended that they purchase the product.
In the past, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed censorship of certain types of…...

Marketing and Childhood Obesity in the Twenty-First
Pages: 2 Words: 722

Marketing and Childhood Obesity
In the twenty-first century obesity is growing out of control in many counties in the developed world. A combination of a sedentary lifestyle, a high-fat diet, and sugary drinks, have driven up the average human weight to the point in which it is having a serious negative effect on the overall health of a large number of individuals. This is particularly serious with regards to our younger population. Childhood obesity, a condition in which excess body fat negatively affects a child's health, is reaching epidemic proportions in the developed world. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) (2010) childhood obesity has more than tripled over the last 30 years. Incidences of obesity among children ages 6 to 11 has risen from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008. Among adolescents ages 12 to 19 the obesity rate increased from 5% to 18.1percent during the same period.

He doesn't mention Apple's iPod, iPod Touch, and iPad, but those devices also pose a challenge for traditional radio broadcasting. People can "…select music that suits their individual tastes and many have wider repositories of music in their own libraries" -- thanks to the iTunes and similar services -- than are offered on the playlists of radio broadcasters (Picard, p. 1).
Moreover, Satellite and Internet radio are offering "hundreds of choices of highly focused music formats," Picard continues, making radio "…a less relevant platform" for music and entertainment than it was previously (p. 1). Besides using Satellite radio -- and being willing to pay for a service that specializes in exactly the music genre listeners prefer -- users are downloading podcasts on a number of topics that interest them, Picard explains. The problems for radio resulting from these alternative audio choices are "compounded" in the United States due to the…...

The eithian tradition comes from John eith who was the British Broadcasting Corporation's director general. He created a concept of broadcasting that was centered along educating viewers. He was an autocratic leader which made the approach of educating viewers successful. He built internal checks which helped to control his benevolent style of dictatorship. He was greatly convinced that the strategy of educating viewers would greatly help the organization. He in fact summarized the purpose of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in three words which were to educate, to inform and to entertain. These remain to be a part of the mission statement of the organization to this very day. Other broadcasters around the world such as the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) which is located in the United…...

News stations have strict rules regarding the ethics of monetary compensation for stories (i.e. It isn't allowed), however, and this is likely an effort to bolster local sales by highlighting certain local businesses. This also provides a way for Denver news organizations to remain connected -- and appear connected -- to the community. internet advertising has found a fairly steady pattern, and the television stations that have news websites have employed the same types of banners, though often in more muted tones, that are found on most commercial websites.

Media Television Industry Narrowcasting Is
Pages: 3 Words: 1034

Government officials and elected officers become unwilling to provide limited public funds to broadcasters whose audiences are becoming smaller, forcing public service programmers to reach for larger audiences with different types of program content. "While multiple program sources -- cable, home video -- make it unlikely that these systems will move toward "mass audience programming" it is the case that the face of broadcasting is changing in these contexts" (Narrowcasting, 2012).
Digital signage networks for narrowcast advertising are becoming part of the mainstream and not some sort of on the edge experimental medium reserved for the daring and advanced. ather than being seen as a risk in the eyes of media buyers, they are becoming a vital communications path for marketers and advertisers wishing to sway consumer spending decisions at the point of purchase.

Ethical Considerations in Media Coverage of AIDS

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic has raised profound ethical questions for the media, shaping how they approach coverage of this devastating disease. Ethical considerations play a pivotal role in determining the choice of language, portrayal of individuals, and framing of narratives surrounding AIDS.

Accurate and Non-Stigmatizing Language

One of the primary ethical concerns is using accurate and non-stigmatizing language. The use of outdated or insensitive terms can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS.
