Between 1983 and now the media industry has consolidated from 50 individual companies to 6. That means that though the impression given is that there are a multitude of sources to attain information, the messages being communicated are all one in the same. The limitation of media sources cause a ripple effect of limited information, allowing these companies to control the public’s perception on

Libya is a country east of Egypt with just over 6,000,000 people. Libya’s first ruler was King Idris I, he was elected after World War II when the people were looking for a new leader.

He established embassies with many large countries such as the U.S. and also allowed U.S. military to come in to restore and maintain the rights of the Libyan people in his first decade as a king. After King Idris I died in 1969, Libya fell apart. A new ruler, Gaddafi, began destroying Libya and its government.

In an interview with Richard Weiner, “The Practice of Public Relations,” he argues that that the top management of an organization will often contract help from an outside agency. Weiner, chief executive of Richard Weiner, Inc., a major public relations agency in New York city, contends that an outside agency is more likely to be proficient in media relations, and thus, more capable of attempting to achieve significant publicity in major media. Management is more likely to respect, and act on, the advice of an outside counselor as compared to their staff (270, 271).

Interesting topic! When reading your post, a question came to mind, does the Libyan crisis lie in government, struggle of power or the distrust toward Libya’s public financial system? Your research seems very broad, how might the topic be narrow down, so you concentrate on the most important aspect of your questions? Additionally, which questions are you concentrating on the

Unlike what is emphasized by Obama in Extract 1, vast social reforms, immense welfare program, infrastructure-building were underway in Libya. As have been mentioned previously, Libya was one of the Africa’s most prosperous country due to the reforms that were done under Gaddafi’s regime. And as a result, by the time the 2011 crisis was unfolding, few people, mainly in the western world, were inclined to have any sympathy for Gaddafi or take any of his claims seriously, and the attempt of showing Gaddafi in a bad light quickly spread through the western mainstream media and Gaddafi had become hated in the western world. But the trigging factor is that, contrary to popular belief which had been transmitted by so many people, like Barack Obama, Libya under Muammar Gaddafi, whom was often portrayed as “tyrant” and “dictator” was in fact, Africa’s most prosperous democracy-according to the United Nations Development Index, prior to the U.S.-led intervention in 2011; according to the same index(see fig6), Libya had the highest GDP per capta, the lowest infant mortality and the highest life expectancy in all of Africa(see

In today’s society, remaining connected and knowledgeable of current events and the newest trends is vital to staying ahead in business, education, and social standing. This information is supplied to everyone through the internet, newspapers, television, and radio. One can tune into stations such as CNN, NBC, Fox News, Al-Jazeera, and many others (“SQs of Media Outlets”). In order to meet the needs of viewers, readers, and listeners, the ideal media system would contain accurate, quick information, with a purely impartial view on the facts as they are known. However, this modern media system has not maintained an objective view, pushing opinionated and slanted reporting onto the population in order to create profit and gain customers. The exploitation of information media for personal gain has created a toxic and inaccurate present, constant in today’s society.

The official in charge of foreign press hadn’t expected Stack, as she had postponed the use of her visa that had been approved for the coverage of the thirty-fourth anniversary of Moammar Qaddafi’s reign until now. Quaddafi was a ruthless leader, who in the beginning required everything to go his way, but came around and partnered with America, relinquishing his weapons of mass destruction and compensating victims of bombings. Under Qaddafi’s reign, free press and information was non-existent. “Vague laws allow for the arbitrary interpretation of any report as illegal” (Freedom House Libya, 2004). After Stack had talked with some Libyans, she received a call from the official who had issued her visa, letting her know they were uncomfortable with her presence. Soon after this meeting, she met with a doctor who devised a plan to let her explore the hospitals, but government officials intercepted them on their way to the hospital. “The eyes are on you, always, watching and judging and remembering.” Stack wrote. “Sometimes the regime will remind you that you will never be free. This was the message: Don’t think you are anybody important” (91). During her stay, Libya made sure Stack knew her place, but maintained a friendly

Media relations can be defined as one of the most significant areas of the practice of public relations. (Shaw&White, 2004) It enhances the practice of public relations by serving a systematic, strategized and mutually beneficial relationship between journalists and the public relations practitioners to build credibility, understanding and respect between the two parties. (Supa&Zoch, 2009) It is essential to cultivate a positive and healthy relationship between public relations practitioners and journalists because journalists tend to look at public relations practitioners in a negative way where they believe that they spin information to get free publicity which making it difficult for journalists to report legitimate news and at the same time, against the basic rules of news writing. (Fedler and DeLorme, 2002) Another study by Kiranjit and Halimahton (2006) also suggests that public relations practitioners and journalists are very much sceptical about each other’s role and the relationship between two of them is doubtful and uncertain. From the point of view of public relations practitioners, they complaint that journalists do not understand the role of public relations. On the other side, journalists tend to think that public relations

The media plays a very important role in today’s society. The media keeps the society informed of daily happenings, educates people, enhances democracy, etc. In the African context, media has played a vital role in the creation of democracy. According to an article by Joseph Matumaini, the African media took on a new configuration in the 1990s due to the increased demand for multi-party democracy (1). This time was also marked by increased cry for privatization of the media. In South Africa, media was perceived as a tool to fight apartheid evils in the efforts to creating a democratic nation. However, this has proven difficult since the 1994 elections. The South African government among other African countries has been in a vibrant war with the national media over freedom of expression, with President Jacob Zuma using different tactics to protect his malpractices. In line with this, this paper analyzes the national communication structure and media of South Africa from the apartheid error to present.
