Media As A Technology Of Communication

The media plays a massive role in the construction of crime, this includes the reporting of crime, the sensationalisation of stories, over-representation of different social groups and age of offenders. Construction of crime is also through stereotyping both ethnicity and gender. It is sometimes argued that the media is an ideological tool that is used to distort reality from its viewers. Female killers are often considered as ‘oxymoronic’, as they are seen as contradictory. Females are generally seen as caring beings but once they commit violent crimes, they are judged based individual circumstances and it is not taken into consideration that they could just as violent as male offenders in their own right. In this essay, I will be focusing on the gender stereotypes in media, specifically focusing on female killers.

Media is defined as any form of communication; however, the term is mainly used for television, radio, and the Internet. “Regardless of the form it takes, media holds the power to construct and reflect our own sense of identity, in both affirmative and detrimental ways” (199). In American society, the media makes many assumptions based on gender, race, and religion that directly affects how people in a society view each other.

According to Google, the definition of media is, “the main means of mass communication (especially television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet) regarded collectively.”

In ‘What is Media In the Digital World?’ by Nelson Granados digital media is described by this quote: “While earning my communications degree, I was taught that media is communicating via television, print, and radio. The idea or content could be in the form of video, print, or audio and it could be fiction or non-fiction. It could be professionally produced or non-professional (think public access). I think that definition still applies to the term media in the digital age, but it has been expanded to include online and social media.” Media can be the message itself, especially for those who create and own rights to content.

The use of media has grown exponentially in the last century. Media can take many different forms like radio, newspapers, magazines, television, and websites. It is a form of communication. It

No one can deny the fact that media is the most powerful tool of communication? Communication and interaction are the constitutive parts of everyday life. Our morning starts with the news that we get from morning newspaper, radio or television. Every generation the developer has a plan to improve media. In the modern world, people consider media as one of the most requirements that people can’t dispense from it. Media is everything, and the world seems to be nothing without it.

Studying different theoretical, strategical and creative aspects of the media and communication field, Professional Practice course gave me an opportunity to explore all the above aspects in real and practical life via Internship. Therefore, in order to fulfill the requirements of the Professional Practice course of RMIT University, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to intern as the marketing and the communication strategist for a start-up company called ‘BizBuddyHub’ (BBH).

Media has the power to strengthen the changes in our social, cultural, and political values. The improvement of media has increased the spread of ideas and has made communication more convenient. Television, Facebook, and Twitter are all considered mass medias because they provide people with entertainment, and it is where the flow of ideas is disseminated. In James Fallows essay, “Win in China!” he states that media encourages the Chinese to follow their dreams, such as becoming an entrepreneur. Through television, people are able to see real life activism take place, which encourages them to coin the definition of success. Media is motivating the Chinese people to try and improve their lives by shying away from their traditional

I have a range of media and non media skills that I have developed over my educational and non educational experience. Firstly I’d like to focus on my non media skills. I feel that one of the most important skills that I have is communication. When working as a bar maid in a family pub in my local village, communication was essential. I have to ensure that all customers where happy and by doing so I had to ask them in a friendly manner that their experience has satisfactory, if not more than that. If their was an issue I then had to use my communication skills to get to the bottom of the issue and asses the issue. Which leads into my next point, customer service. I have a high ability to work with customers, when working as a cashier in a local Fram Shop I managed with a lot of costumers. In order to make sure that the customers returned to the shop I gave them a warm welcome as they came through the door and ensured that they had all questions briefly answered but made sure they knew everything they needed to know. I occasionally dealt with returns, which then meant that once I asked what was wrong with the item, I then resolved the complaint by offering vouchers or by swapping the item for something more appropriate.

Do you have Facebook, or another social media account? Turns out, over 1.86 billion people also have Facebook. New media usage in our society has been increasing at a significant rate. Ever since the rise of new media, there has also been a rise of technology critiques. These critiques find all the negative outcomes of new media; there has been a decline of face-to-face communication, people are becoming lethargic. Though there may be various reasons why the rise of new media is harmful, there is also one very important reason why it is beneficial; new media provides a platform for the voices of the underrepresented to be heard.

As media becomes much more prevalent in society, it is important to recognize the possible harmful effects that media may have on children’s body image.

Media plays a big role in society these days. Whether it be letting society know what is going on the in the world today or something as simple as updates on current life on social media. The media's role in society not only delivers information of the world but also brings people together through common interests or general talks. In Brian Knappenberger's documentary: Nobody Speak: Trials of Free Press it is seen how media effect lives and how there is a much stronger meaning to what media stands for in society and why media needs to take its stand when it comes to people who want to devour them.

It has taken a long time to get to where society is now in 2017, and now more than ever media plays a big role in everyone’s lives. With the invention of the computers came numerous other inventions, such as the Internet and smartphones. An example of the big role computers, the Internet and smartphones play in society is given by Baran in page 30 where he says “ the average American child between the ages 8 and 18 spends more than seven hours a day engaged simultaneously with many different screens.” I understand that in order to invent the computer there other creations that allowed the computer to become what it is now, but putting that aside I consider computers to be the most important technological breakthrough. The World Wide Web, smartphones and gaming consoles, would not have come into existence without computers. Other media sources such as Cable television, CD’s, and newspapers, have began to decline in terms of audience mostly due to the upsurge of the computer related media, Baran talks about the industries in transition and mentions how newspapers have lost 26 billion dollars in the past 10 years, he also talks about the decline in CD sales by 13% in between 2013 and 2014 (30)

Media is one of the most powerful institutions that play a role in how we view the world that we live in. Often media may stereotype a certain group of people, which impacts how others view one other. When the media does this, it further supports the division in society.

Through its portrayal of powerful people who would typically be oppressed in society, Grey’s Anatomy goes against refutes the social norms that we’re accustomed to.
