Ideological Diversity On Weekly News Magazines

Having served nearly thirty years at CBS News, Mr. Goldberg had earned a reputation as one of the most original writers and thinkers in broadcast journalism. However, when he observed his own industry, he realized the liberal media had completely missed their mission to give honest news. After years of sharing his observations and promoting more balanced reportings, Goldberg soon realized that no one listened because they believed they were doing the right thing. The liberal bias continued, therefore Bernard Goldberg decided to take the situation into his own hands and expose the distortion of the media himself. Goldberg’s breathtaking and shocking best seller book, Bias, reveals the close-mindedness of the news culture and their mission to entertain rather than share facts.

Those who work in the media are so afraid to tell the truth and decide to keep quiet instead because of what others might think of them. John Stossel, on the other hand, decided to speak nothing but the truth when he announced that he was a libertarian with strong beliefs and began his own show. Bernie Goldberg was another person who admitted to the media being biased and has said that because of the truth, he has lost many of his former “friends”. Everyday people sit down in front of their TV to watch the news expecting to hear what one wants to hear. People watch news sources that have the same mindset as them and know it, but will continue to do so because of wanting to stick to their own beliefs. Sometimes it can be difficult to spot bias in the media for some because of how believable and inaccurate the media can be. Nevertheless, there is definitely bias in the media and the six powerhouses have their own beliefs and will only give out information they believe is

Speed, immediacy, global reach- the Internet provides vast, new opportunities for the distribution and reception of news. I had spent the past two weeks, Feb. 13- Feb. 28, observing the front-pages of CNN and Fox News online. Because both are powerful news networks, I focused my attention on the top-featured stories displayed on both web pages, and if stories were featured on both, did the news networks portray the stories similarly or differently. A lot of my attention was also focused on the diversity of both CNN and Fox News. I reviewed diversity by analyzing the difference in headlines, content throughout the story and the writers and reporters.

Within the magazine Seventeen it can be clearly seen to reinforce the heteronormative agenda. The heteronormative agenda is the idea and rule that the original nuclear family is the correct way to formulate romantic relationships in society as well as the enforcement that homosexuality is deviant behaviour (Barrett, 29 October 2017). This can be shown through the fact that in over 100 pages of articles, ads, and other magazine generalities I found two accounts of identified homosexuality. This shows a clear lack of representation for homosexual, trans, or other non-cis identified groups. It's very clear that the authors of the articles and the owners of the magazine itself are leaning towards a heteronormative narrative and in that trying to reinforce that same narrative in its readers (targeted groups are between 13 and 18 years of age).

Objective journalism in the United States should be reconsidered to accommodate the demands of varied audiences and increased media outlets. With the media growing in magnitude and influence, many people are looking for fresh, like-minded news sources. Declines in newspaper readership and television news viewing among many Americans suggests that objectively reported news is a failing philosophy. Younger, more impressionable people may be ready for the advantages of the partisan news reporting style.

Whether the biases were applied deliberately or unintentionally, both the Washington Times and the Washington Post exhibited an inclination to a one political view, conservative and liberal respectively. A person’s beliefs and ideologies are part of what makes them who they are, but, although these are important, opinions should not hinder factual information or try to manipulate the reader’s judgement or point of view.

In other words, the website reports newsworthy and marginally newsworthy stories, but if the reader is a discerning individual who likes to make up his/her own mind, it would be wise to consult other sources to validate the stories first. Using misleading, emotionally charged, headlines that fall short of alignment to the content of an article is also common (Remember the guidelines for writers: “We write the headlines for you). Readers of the Conservative Tribune need to understand they are not going to read anything on the Conservative Tribune website that may be damaging to the conservative cause. Articles are “ultra-conservative”

Media outlets have the power to voice opinions for the masses of followers they may have. Depending on the topic, media typically has 2 different standpoints but there is always room for another. Three standpoints typically become more common when burning topics come to light. Using the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals as an example better known as DACA, I found articles that were mainly targeted towards either Republican, Liberal, or Neutral parties. The articles were debriefing the controversy around the elimination of DACA. The republican media outlets such as Fox News portrays in favor of the wrongdoing of being illegal. Fox News outlets do not sympathize or use any humanity when wording their article. The title reads "What is DACA

First of all, propaganda occurs very often in the world we live in today. It has happened in cuba with Fidel castro and even in the United States during the wars. Propaganda is used widely in the book, "The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy, remember that! All the minor minor minorities with their navels to be kept clean. Authors, full of evil thoughts. lock up your typewriters. They did. Magazines became a nice blend of vanilla

Do you watch Fox news,CNN,or MSNBC,and they have changed your mind about something? Well than that news station must be biased.When a news station is biased they show favoritism towards a party,religion,cause,etc.When people are biased they alter the minds of the people.Our society runs on respect so when news stations are biased they affect our community in bad ways.Although when they use certain techniques and are honest they help our society run .

The first source illustrates a cartoon that presents an electronic store displaying different forms of the news, including TV stations, newspapers, and a radio. Deviations in their names are evident. Yet, the pronunciation is the same. The radio and newspaper also are homophones of The Merger and ConglomoCorp owns them all. The cartoonist uses this to highlight how oblivious people are to this problem. The news sources are placed near each other to allow the audience to realize that the same company owns them all. The news sources are questioning why media concentration is considered as bad in society. Media concentration is the process of individuals or a corporation owning increasing shares of mass media. The cartoonist believes that the

Control Room places an emphasis on an Arab news network’s coverage of the war between Iraq and the United States that began in 2003; the news network is known as Al Jazeera. This news network was founded in 1996, and had been called by the Bush administration “the mouthpiece of Osama bin Laden” (Noujaim, 2004). From what this film had depicted, the viewer can see that Al Jazeera is a news network worthy of attention, and not only because of its controversial topics, but because of the information it releases to the rest of the world that most do not regularly see due to biases within news media outlets. Because it appears clear that biases are imminent within the film, I had become more interested in how and why Al Jazeera had become such a tainted name within the industry and under fire for the information they bring to the masses.

Time magazine in the 20th century was a quick fix and a way for news to be summarized in a shorter version. Founder Henry Luce who decided to establish this magazine with his partner allowed an idea to go by that eventually turned into the invention of Time magazine. There was numerous of newspapers where too much information couldn’t be read at once and flipping through pages would take up time. However, issues that were going on or events that were occurring would be within one summary, which allows readers to give their thoughts and opinions on what they’ve read. According to Luce, he states that “But this magazine is not founded to promulgate prejudices, liberal or conservative. “ To keep men well informed that, first and last, is the only

Use of the term diversity and its role in journalism only calls attention to the lack of it in newsrooms and magazines across the country. In their absence, I’d argue that the true value of having people of various ethnic and racial backgrounds present in the newsroom has as much to do with improving the process of newsgathering and reporting as it does achieving racial parity. In short, I think the role of diversity in journalism is to make journalism better.

While Capitalism might first be seen as a positive influence on free and open access to information, in fact, it can also have a detrimental impact. Inaccurate news stories, sensationalized material, and manipulation through the media are all repercussions of the effects of capitalism. Capitalism’s influence in the media skews content in favour of the market, preventing the public from access to democratic, objective news content. Too often, capitalist influence dominates the media market through conglomerate control, structured by the ever-growing desire to gain capital, treating the audience as a commodity regardless of the negative repercussions that ensue. As opposed to presenting balanced, unbiased issues that are relevant and
