Emergence of Television as a Mass Media

Deviance is a behavior, trait, belief, or other characteristic that violates a norm and causes a negative reaction (Ferris & Stein 154). The television Jane The Virgin embodies this sociological theory and is intended for an audience of young and older adults. Types of deviance that is featured is that Jane Villanueva who has hopes of being a teacher and author goes to the doctors for a routine physical examination. However, while there she accidentally gets artificially inseminated. The intended specimen was intended for a patient in the next room, the situation becomes even more shocking. In fact, the donor is Jane’s boss Rafael Solano whom she had a crush on a few years prior.

Mass media is communication that reaches a large audience. This includes television, advertisement, the Internet, newspapers, and so on. Mass media is a significant effect in modern culture in America.

Television has had large impacts on American society once it became widely available, which occurred during the 1950s. Most American households owned a television. The creation of news outlets on television led to the American public to be exposed much that they wouldn’t ever have been exposed to without. There were no restrictions on the device yet for what they could or couldn’t show. Television would go on to create the largest impacts on American society, impacts that even continue today. Commercials became commonplace for the public, Civil rights would gain tons of support, and television would be one of the leading causes that attributed to the United States loss of the Vietnam War.

By randomly selecting a day to see the list of programme in the April of 1951, I find that a fixed scheduling had not been widely adopted by BBC Television at 1951, except the sound-only news that normally delivered after 10 pm, and the television for children in the afternoon (BBC Genome, 2015). The range of programmes at early 1950 was much narrow than later: television talks, concert, children’s television, newsreel and plays. Among those genres, the proportion of the television for children was relatively higher than others. Comparing an ordinary day’s television programming list in 1951 and that in 1961, the daily programming list after a decade was much longer, and there were various new types of television such as dancing, general knowledge quiz shows and even Do-it-yourself programme. During this decade, the development in news service is also obvious. As we can see in the BBC Genome site (2015), the total number of news programmes on April 11th 1961 was six. This day BBC Television had News in Welsh at 13:00, Lunchtime News at 14:25, The News at 18:00, Headline News at 19:27, The News again at 21:30, and finally Late Night News at 22:55 (BBC Genome, 2015). Although every programme was very short, the frequency television news programming was impressive. The most significant changes of television output are the diversity of interests reflected

Media is undoubtedly one of the largest growing technologies in the world. The author gives examples of media in the seventeenth century stating how little they have compared to the unlimited access

The 20th century has witnessed dramatic developments in the history of media communications as well as human society. During the first half of the last century, electronic media such as the telegraph, radio and television to name a few were invented and became prevalent. Afterwards, the internet came into being and developed at an unprecedented rate to the point where it is now widely accepted that human history has entered into an information age. As claimed by a number of scholars, the appearance of new types of media can bring about dramatic influences on living conditions. Among them, Harold Innis, pioneer in this area of communication studies, is influential, firstly by employing two dimensions to media, namely time and space, and

News and information create many multi-billions dollar businesses; in fact, Forbes estimated that Fox brand is worth $11.2 billion dollar. It also reported that Fox has an average of prime-time viewers of 1.83 million which is more than CNN, MSNBC, and other news agencies combined. (The World’s, n.d.) Fox often appears to cater to the conservative Americans while CNN and MSNBC seem to be more appealing to the moderate and liberal ones. The American public is so polarized today that it generates the idea that if you are truly a conservative, you should only watch Fox since both CNN and MSNBC are labelled as left-wing brands. Meanwhile for the liberal Americans, CNN and MSNBC seem to be the main sources of information since Fox is deemed biased, judgmental, and not sensitive enough on the left-wing issues.

Television can be considered a cultural forum. By cultural forum, this means issues and points of view can be discussed openly and almost without punishment. These issues can vary anywhere from male dominance in the household, to wars, to racism, to political jabs and still be covered under freedom of speech. Television can hold a wide variety of opinions which may offend, but for the most part due so to prove a point.

During this period, fewer and fewer people read Austin and Dickens. A survey in 1946 about the working class shows that only one over ten of the people reading in crime and violence only novel. The middle class is only three over ten of the people also read books and more leisure time is spent on radio and newspaper and the mass media era quietly. In 1952, people through the radio and listen to the news of the death of George V and the queen reign ceremony of the second year, there are 20 million people on television this celebration. Television this emerging media tools in the cross class culture (Zinkernagel, 1997).

c. Radio and then television were very influential. As the 20th century closed, TV exposed us to untold numbers of images of advertising and marketing, suffering and relief, sexuality and violence, celebrity, and much more.

The radio is one of the most influential pieces of technology ever invented. From political debates to Taylor Swift’s latest hit, with the help of the radio, society stays informed on a plethora of topics. Freddie Mercury wasn’t lying when he said, “and everything I had to know, I learned it on my radio.” In almost every country in the world, there is at least one radio station used to broadcast news to it’s people. Since the creation of the FM radio, it has been used to reach out to people over a certain area and keep them informed about the society they live in. During the 1930s and the 1940s, the radio played a very important role in history; it was a tool used during World War II by America, Great Britain, and Nazi Germany. By sending

History of television and its influence on people lives. How did television revolutionize the world?

Television, a telecommunication medium some may not survive without. Today’s generation may refer to television as a technological norm; delusional of a world where television was non-existent.
