Rite Of Passage

They tell what is going on at the time, like our news on the television today; They say what is happening that is really important news.

Within Joyce Nelson’s essay, “TV News: A Structure of Reassurance”, Nelson criticizes the TV news structure that perpetually disconnects current events from their historical background through comforting anchorpeople partnered with advanced technology to create a TV program that minimizes the important implications of current events. Though lacking the amount of information that a print news publication can maintain, the TV news can convey immediate information through technological advances of modern TV equipment to allow the medium to remain competitive. The façade of in-the-moment international information broadcasted directly to viewers enables anchorpeople to maintain the feeling of immediateness, keeping the viewers believing the program

Sometimes you have to get up and watch the news. Its not very entertaining to you so you just get up and do something else. The news we have now tells us how the day is going to be or how nice it is. The news will be actually fun and really nice if they were to use comedy like Jon Stewart. Jon tells us the news but in like a fun way to entertained your ‘self. People want to be able to have a laugh and be happy in the morning. It will be

In his book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” Neil Postman argues that the news of today is linked with entertainment. In today’s society, we are obsessed with image and the stories of destination and violence, and how will the anchorman performance is, stories that have no relation to the news at all and the news uses this to increase their ratings. by watching the Fox news on 02/13/17 I was able to confirm that he was correct.

News stories allow people to obtain information locally or worldwide. Things occur on the other side of the world have a cause-effect effect. To the other side of the world. For example, When the US army was in Iraq and the empire state building was blown up in New York City. There are many more examples of this effect. Currently there are very important stories in the news tha are very informative such as What it takes to rebuild iraq, Trump blasts “rigged” rules on picking republican delegates,The Paradox of Being a Black, Christian, Social-Justice Advocate, Texas Teacher Caught on Video Slapping Student and Calling Him ‘Idiot Ass’ Arrested: Report.

TV news viewership has declined steadily over the past two decades. Several factors may have contributed to the decline: busy lifestyles, lack of interest, and the rise of the Internet. As viewership has declined, the remaining viewers have aged. Today, the average evening news viewer is 60 years old. TV networks' response to these changes has largely been negative. They have dropped hard news in favor of opinion pieces, "puff pieces," and stories that are of interest only to their older demographic. As a result, TV news has not just become unpopular, it has also become largely worthless.

Every news broadcast begins with music and progresses, just like any narrative. There are characters, a setting, rising actions,a climax and a resolution. These

Viewers rely on the media to inform them about what is going on in the world. Just like people, however the news industry has different biases. Which is why two different news channels will tell a different story on what is based on the same

In the past, I really didn’t watch the news because I wasn’t interested in the politics and all the bad news that was happening around the world. It was when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were trying to get elected that I started getting intrigued with what was happening in this country. Every morning my dad would wake up to sit on the couch and watch the news; I started with just once a week and then gradually to every day sitting there with him to know what was happening. Hillary Clinton, accused of erasing emails, Donald Trump accused of molesting; when did I ever know so much about politics. Hillary wins Oregon, Donald wins Florida, and then

According to the book Celebrity Politics, approximately 10 percent of Americans get national political news from nightly entertainment shows such as the Tonight Show. For Americans under 30, the number is nearly five times as many (Orman and West 100). Citizens are looking to be entertained rather than simply educated by the nightly news. As David Schultz aptly put it, “ The new media cover politics, but only politics as it entertains, in part, because the audience the new media attract is a less politically interested audience than traditional news audiences” (20). The fact is that this American audience is less interested in hard news and more interested in

Firstly, many news stories (depending on where you live) are heavily censored according to the publication’s ideology and alliances. In some countries, the government controls the media. So when you’re reading the “news,” you’re really reading news created/selected to fit what the publication wants you to know, along with filtered comments and angled statistics. Something to consider when you think that you’re being educated by reading a particular news channel — it’s more likely that you are being conditioned.

During any breaking news segment on any 24 hour news coverage channel there seems to always be problems and mistakes that are made by reporters for not having the correct information on the story. Also when there is no significant stories to report on there seems to be a cycle of information that each news channel tries to throw at you. Examples of this would be presidential stories, repeating stories over and over, and so on. Just imagine if one had to have something to say constantly about anything and everything they could find. Would that not get annoying listening to one person speak all day every day about anything they could find. So why do we have these problems and is it even good for the people of the United States to have twenty-four hour news channels?

Watching the news on TV is a lot easier for people to understand and is more convenient than reading it on paper. For the people who are always in a rush in the morning, it’s more convenient to turn on the TV and listen to what’s going on rather than trying to read a paper because it will only slow your task down. Also, for the people who don’t know how to read and for elders whose eyes don’t function properly, the TV is a better source of finding out the news. Not only

One could say that the news is constituted of an accurate, balanced and timely reportage on the events of the day, or a combination of what will interest and engage the public. But the primary point is that news never just ‘happens': what appears in a bulletin is an attempt to a comprehensible interpretation of selected events, and as such is never wholly value-free. (cf. Barnard 2000: 139-149)

Reality TV is dominating the television networks and the news networks are having a hard time keeping up with ratings. Reality TV is trickling its way into the news. News networks are becoming another form of entertainment instead of an informative source that they were created for. The new stations are now insulting rival political groups in an effort to stir up the pot and cause drama because drama is what brings in the viewers. For example, Fox News is a famous news outlet that is known for diminishing the
