Aarushi Talwar 's Murder Case

Stories sometimes are true and sometimes they are false but it is up to the public to believe in what is right and what is wrong. In this day and age, where information is available at the touch of a mouse, it’s not surprising that the media is a particularly dominant and powerful

In “ ‘A Steep Price…’” it analyzed the opinions of the public, media, victim, and aggressor in defending their particular take on the case. The article offers mild bias, so it does not completely report the events of the case, because it mostly focuses on the opinionated effects and not so much the facts. In “Feminist Put Judge...”, major bias is introduced by claiming to be in support of the feminist cause; however, the article uses a stronger ethical appeal to attract a broader, more unified audience. In “Here’s the Powerful Letter…”, the author recants the letter the victim wrote to her attacker, Brock Turner. She not only aims for the audience to feel the distress and havoc the case has relinquished on her life, but also a chance to spread a more positive message to thank her supporters while encouraging her audience to stand up for themselves and their self worth. The overall purpose of analyzing all these different media sources is to be able to recognize how the multiple points of view that a story can be told from will alter the objectivity of the event. A society’s culture will emphasis bias or certain point of views to get the public to believe one interpretation of the story based on the

In November of 2012, Harold Henthorn was charged with first-degree murder after his wife, Toni, tumbled face-first to her death off a mountain cliff. Inquisitr covered this news story in an article entitled “Harold Henthorn Pushes Wife from Cliff? Sinister and Gruesome Details Emerge.” By analyzing the content, format, and context of the article, it becomes clear how Inquisitr conveys their own message and intends for the crime to be represented in a particular, calculated way.

That said, a couple of casualties noticed that their exploitation happened before the presence of pen name; the names of these casualties can at present be found in old court archives. What's more, in littler groups, group individuals were frequently ready to distinguish the casualties regardless of the fact that their names were not expressly expressed in news reports. Now and again, lawyers, law requirement, or administration suppliers served as the essential purpose of contact for media request. These people surveyed the media opportunities; just going along the open doors that they thought would be of interest and advantage to the casualty. These people frequently reviewed inquiries before the meetings, and guaranteed that media work force regarded the casualty and stayed inside of the settled upon themes. The media served as a wellspring of data for a couple of casualties. One casualty, who was not in contact with criminal equity authorities, built up a cozy association with a journalist amid the absolution. This columnist served as the casualty's essential wellspring of data and furnished the casualty with customary upgrades all through the absolution process. Through this relationship, the casualty had the capacity distribute an unknown articulation in the press taking after the exemption. This casualty recognized that the capacity to give such an announcement was expected, in substantial part, to the morals of the individual correspondent; in different cases, casualties made remarks to columnists confidentially that were later included in news reports. For some casualties, the media consideration is progressing and will rhythmic movement relying upon the news cycle and other related occasions (e.g., other wrongful feelings in the media, court procedures on related case). Other contextual investigations keep on getting media consideration on the

In reference to the media’s role, they have been highlighted for playing a part in maintaining these views by portraying victims in a certain way according to the newsworthiness of each story

This report aims to analyse how the Australian media covers and reports crime. To accomplish this, the report will explore how The Australian covered the Cairns child murders, in the article entitled “Cairns deaths: A ‘good mum’ who concealed her demons” published on December 27th 2014. The report will provide insight into the explanation for the crimes occurrence, while investigating the prevalence of the crime type- murder, in Australia. It will also make reference to two of Chibnall’s ‘news values’: dramatization and personalization.

Don DeLillo’s short story, “Videotape” presents a cynical, social commentary on the overexposure of heinous acts by means of new media outlets, such as the videotape, which contributes to the commercialization of tragedy for viewers and the resulting desensitization of the public that occurs. The story is focused on one of many homicides committed by the Texas Highway Killer, which has coincidentally been recorded by an unknown 12-year-old girl playing with a video camera in the back of her family’s car. The events are presented in a conversational tone in the second-person, layering in an additional narrative frame of a hypothetical and cynical “every-man” and his wife, responding to the incident. This parallels the viewpoints of society without making broad assumptions and allows the reader to interpret the framework that DeLillo constructs without having it stated outright. In addition, the presentation, reaction, and consumption of news of the homicide is entwined with the narrative as it occurs, and the author explores each of these – the use and consumption of media – to prompt readers to analyze the same themes surrounding themselves. DeLillo employs the juxtaposition of the infantile camera-girl with the harshness of the video’s content by mirroring the presentation with his diction, while also commentating on the authenticity and “realness” of the tape and examining its effect on the hypothetical consumer through repetition and second-person syntax.

Society is now what Downing, Mohammadi and Mohammadi (1990) would call a ‘media culture’, this is where the perceptions and images of reality are often shaped by the actions and decisions of news editors and producers (Surrette, 1992). The role of the media according to O’Shaughnessy and Stadler (2008) is to give the public an insight on what is happening in the world and to make sense of that information to the public. The main focus of this essay will be looking two main concepts which are newsworthiness and the dark figure of crime, relating 5 news articles that are centred around child abuse that have featured in the New Zealand Herald and stuff.co.nz.

It is appalling that the police are now targeting our journalists. This is unacceptable, inappropriate and unreasonable! Nothing gives the police the right to reveal journalists confidential sources to the public. Communicators commissioner, Sir Anthony May, found that police for the last 19 years admitted more than 600 applications to view journalists communications data. Police need to gain approval before even thinking about taking confidential documents from journalists, but they have decided to authorise themselves access to journalists sources, records and communications data. This is not right! As a matter of principle police should not be able to authorise themselves access to things that are not rightfully theirs. As it may be in the public interest it is not right for freedom of speech. These actions that police have taken to publicly reveal confidential sources, risk jeopardising our journalists rights to freedom of

Beatrix Campbell has issued an article called Rape:the Truth, calling for people to listen to the true facts about rape and embrace that the justice systems today are really broken. This article introduces the readers to uncommon knowledge about rape and rape suspects that have been conducted by law enforcement officers in Great Britain in 2007. The show is a fictional proceeding of how much concern and care is put into catching a

Everywhere around the world women and girls are terrorized, mistreated and victims of abuse, rape, and assault. Sadly this kind of treatment towards women and girls is often very common in Asian countries. The article by Gardiner Harris entitled, “Rape of Girl, 5, Draws Focus to Child Assault in India”, talks about how an innocent five year old girl was raped, tortured and almost killed in India. Harris wrote in the article that people demand stricter laws against sex crimes and that there should be more protection for women. In Asia women tend to be less desirable, and are treated with less respect than a man. Harris also claims that news reports are packed with stories about heinous crimes and assaults against women (Gardiner Harris, 2013).

The media coverage at the time was highly critical of the government’s position and lack of evidence in the case, and there was much analysis and attack of the impact of the governments new anti-terrorism laws. It caused the government at the time to re-examine many of its anti-terror laws by a parliamentary committee on more than one occasion. Laws have also been examined by the following reviews:

The role of the State was also more highlighted this time, in terms of the composition of the questionnaire in the seven thematic sections; the first part on “Violence and other abusive treatment of journalists” now had a new subsection: “State responsibility in abuses against the media”. The second section had a new title and focused on the State as well: “The State’s role in combating impunity for those responsible for violence and abuses”.

On Easter Sunday, Lahore, Pakistan was next in a growing list of countries attacked on a large by a suicide bomber in the past six months. The bombing, later claimed by Taliban affiliate Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, targeted a park populated with Christian women and children celebrating the holiday. Photos of bloody victims and rescuers soon surfaced as well as first-hand accounts of the explosion. The sheer horror and violent nature of the story and the photos as well as the constant international attention on terrorism makes the story impactful and fits with the unfortunately familiar narrative that has developed in the post-9/11 world. The story broke on Easter morning all over the world, and therefore, it fits four of the five criteria that Doris Graber and Johanna Dunaway set in Mass Media and American Politics for how stories are deemed newsworthy (113-114). However, the final criterion, proximity, is the significant in regards to how the Lahore bombing was and continues to be covered in mainstream media. Both National Public Radio (NPR) and Al Jazeera posted articles on Easter Sunday after the bombing, and while many aspects of the articles are the same, there exist key differences. NPR’s status as a semi-publically owned American media company and Al Jazeera’s status as a government owned Qatari media accompany account for those difference in their coverage the Lahore, Pakistan attacks. The revolution of the new news accounts for their similarities.
