There are several different factors, such as politics and bias within the media. The media is a very powerful outlet that provides the public with a set perspective on certain groups and events throughout the world. “The media generally operates in ways that promote apathy, cynicism, and quiescence, rather than active citizenship and participation.”

Journalism in America is one of the biggest and most important industries our country has. Usually it keeps one up to date with many things that are going on in society. However, recently America has faced a downfall in the reporting of foreign news. As Americans there is a need for an increased amount of foreign coverage because there are many worldly issues we must know about, news networks are beginning to focus only on the everyday life of Americans, and the internet (specifically, social media) is slowly taking away the reality and realness of international news.

Introduction: Economy Watch said,” Numbers of TV broadcast and radio stations were traditionally a good guage of the development and openness of a country. However as cable TV and the internet become the primary source of entertainment and information, as is now the case in many advanced nations, this measure becomes less important from 1993 to 2014. Today, technology has changed since it was invented back in the early days. In my paper, I will discuss the significant events and people in radio, television, and web, compare or contrast the landmark radio and television, and how news broadcasting will be in the future.

USA Today is one of the largest print newspapers, even today due to its innovative approach and format that it utilizes. Furthermore, this newspaper contains many features that fully engage its audience by offering colorful displays, short write ups, radiant exhibits of diagrams. One of the overall aspects of USA Today was the manner in which it fully engaged readers with its content than any other newspapers. USA Today is essentially known for its short stories, bright colors and its weather map. Moreover, it is becoming a serious newspaper in which people are beginning to notice more despite how it was ridiculed and thought as a humorous newspaper. Furthermore, it was a newspaper that was highly criticized and constantly under attack for the manner in which it was laid out. Nonetheless, no one took the paper seriously then. USA Today has become a much stronger news product that has increased its marketing efforts and shown the world that it certainly has had an impact on other newspapers in the manner in which they chose to model some of the very same ideas as USA Today, however, by other newspapers imitating what they coined as the less admirable newspaper with many gimmicks, flourishing color, and short stories, many other newspapers modeled only to fail after copying many of USA Today’s attributes that are landing them ahead of many other newspapers.

This form of new media is advantageous for political reporting in that news is not limited to one county, but can travel worldwide. In turn, this leads the public to become more knowledgeable over international affairs. In contrast, others may argue that global communication has not developed evenly worldwide, with richer countries being at an advantage over the poorer. Hamelink found that there is an information imbalance with a “great proportion of the world at a serious disadvantage, rendering it susceptible to exploitation and manipulation.” (Watson, 1998, p.227-228) Consequently, this raises an issue of how available news sources actually are to other countries and although ‘richer’ nations are aware of international affairs, ‘poorer’ nations are in affect left out of the loop and therefore become more susceptible to believing inaccurate reports. Furthermore, with the increased invention of technologies such as the internet, there is therefore, a faster communication rate allowing information to be delivered to individuals around the world. However, there is room for debate as to whether global media may in fact, run the risk of leaking inaccurate reports, causing the quality of political reporting to be questioned in the future. This, in turn, may jeopardise political relationships between countries.

Ragnedda believes that 'new digitalized surveillance allowed a new form of social control that tries to direct and influence the behaviour of people', but the technologies themselves are merely tools (2011: 180). As Lee affirms, Singapore considered itself as having a legitimate right to influence and manage the citizenry (2005: 79). Therefore, it is little surprise the Singapore government has considerable surveillance capabilities and does not require a court warrant for monitoring (O’Hara, 2008: 15). Lee asserts that the relatively low level of online public engagement in politics is a product of the PAP's intolerance for political dissent (2005: 78). In many respects, society itself has not changed,
