The Causes And Impacts Of Vice Media

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

“Words of Fire,” by Anthony Collings, details the lives of different journalists in regards to free press and covering potentially dangerous stories. Anthony Collings is a former CNN reporter who shifted his focus from reporting to telling the story of journalists who have come under fire in a power struggle between government and free press. Collings puts free press into a spectrum, on one side there is the United States, where the press is largely free, and on the other side there are places like North Korea or China where press is largely restricted by the government. Collings does not focus on these extremes, but rather the places in the middle where there is an ongoing struggle between state power.

We’ve all heard it hundreds of times from people that the news and media is overdramatic. That is one of the biggest complaints about the media, but is it true? Scholarly articles have found that the news is in fact over dramatic about crime which induces public fear and may produce many myths about how much crime is actually happening in our society. As a broadcasting major, it is easy for me to see why the news would cover stories in such a dramatic way. These types of stories capture the users attention which means more people will watch your station resulting in advertising spots being worth more which in the end benefits the stations because they will make more money. Popular examples such as the “knockout game” and the Central Park jogger case both show just how much the media has an effect on society, copycat criminals and other crimes. Is the media overdramatic? Does the media cause higher public fear? What myths does the media create?

The discourse community of broadcast journalists is a broad community, but can be narrowed down to smaller groups. As a discourse community journalist come in as novices, but carry the opportunity to ascend in their profession, to become an anchor for a national news network. The fundamental goal of journalists is to educate the public with events that take place daily, both domestically and internationally. With this fundamental goal at hand, news networks run astray, to where they begin to host biased opinions, with means to draw in a certain audience. These biases are presented by the networks reflect a political bias, religious bias, and social bias that can impact the facts of the story

Two narratives that Waisanen portrays within his article are two video clips from Onion News Network in which he uses to elaborate and discuss further his main idea. The first narrative that Waisanen portrays is about “… the presidential race heats up, a new survey finds that again, this year, the number one issue among voters, bullshit” (512). He further describes how the news is being illustrated with a news anchor that speaks in a schematized tone similar to the news anchor on public news that is usually broadcasted. The reason why Waisanen uses this narrative is to support his point of the Onion News Network who mocks and deprives the practices of what the “real” news normally portrays and broadcasts. Moreover, another narrative that Waisanen portrays is another video clip from Onion News Network about a morning show similar to Good Morning America where two news anchors discuss about a dog mascot known as “Liberty” who is on a mission to “ …psyched up troops suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” (513). Primarily the news is to “lament the death of the American army mascot” (513). However, Waisanen uses this video clip as an example to show how the Onion News Network videos illustrate and broadcast videos to viewers that may somewhat have some truth; for instance, the unfortunate battle that soldiers go through with PTSD, but at the same time they never portray or say the real or “whole picture” (523) of what is being broadcasted. In addition, Waisanen

Firstly, the “war on terror” had reduced the humanitarian concerns down, and the foreign policy. Furthermore, media coverage had become more deferential and constrained: therefore, reducing the chances of media influencing policy. The “war on terror” most importantly provided journalists with a guide in which they could understand global events and policy makers with the ability to justify a more aggressive foreign policy plan. At last, the “war on terror” had constructed an ideological bond between journalist and policy makers which created stronger media management. Techniques developed to display coverage of certain issues over others to frame stories that support official

History has changed. Ideas and standards have also changed. Back in the day, when the media or movies showed a hint or a dash of blood, the reaction of the average person was shock and disgust at the blood and gore shown. These scenes and clips shown have become more and more extreme over the years to the level of being hazardous to society. Even in the videogame industry, certain scenes that may have caused outrage and commotion fifteen years ago are now seen as childish and may even be considered as humorous. To put it candidly, most of the mass media has been used widely to its ability to influence and persuade, to glorify, and diabolize thoughts and actions of individuals. Yet people of this generation still spend a great percentage of

This causes the manipulation of the media by America’s ruling elites solemnly stokes the resulting flames of angry discontent. The film argues that the mainstream media is no longer the voice of american freedom but, rather than the part of a repressive political power structure that has uncanny parallels that is shown in Orwell’s novel 1984. Totalitarian views are taking over the media according to this documentary.

The 1976 Stanley Lument directed film, Network featuring Faye Dunaway, presents a satirical look at a fake news corporation, UBS. The movie attempts to depict what news organizations go through in their quest for both relevant and popular programming. During their journey, the organization struggles with its own ethics in creating news that isn't necessarily truthful and for the most part is only elevating the emotions of a particular base. In addition to depicting the advanced and multifaceted sides of television news networks, the film also makes a strong attempt at forming a strong narrative and characters that the audience for the most part can relate to and empathize with while watching.

The American Government and media claimed in the news that the Communists where enemies of the global world and were corrupt, without given any real evidence to back these claims. The United States Government also denied the Communists of their first Amendment rights. Last is all the victims and voices lost to the imprisonment and black list by normal civilians, who weren’t as widely known as famous and talented as Trumbo. Media has an incredibly powerful effect in society, the film reflected this with showing how Trumbo was hated by the other prisoner and his neighbor even before the individuals knew him, simply because of how to media reflected Trumbo. This is similar to war propaganda with the image of the two US soldiers holding a foreign

The structure of an article involves 3 factors; the organization type, the workplace structure, and the revenue stream (Anton, p 27). These 3 factors are important because it give readers an insight to the motivates and influences behind the articles. Discussing structure with Wyler’s article platform, Vice Media -a divisional structure style workplace, that is categorized as a for-profit company (Vice Media, 2016), and gains revenue through advertisements (Vice Media, 2016). As for content, according to Anton’s Typology of Media, it is important to look into the political, social, and cultural aspects of the article (27). Such as the types of articles & advisements, editorial stance, the tagline, and images, to give readers a greater understanding of the core values of the source (Anton, 27). Vice Media tends to report apolitical, national and international news, politics, culture, & social issues. In Vice’s Media Kit (2016), they make reference to their ad content “VICE’s creative and interactive design teams develop cross-platform custom ad products for brands, tailored to deliver against specific campaign objectives.” The website's tagline articulates it as an “ever expanding galaxy of immersive, investigative, uncomfortable, and occasionally uncouth journalism” (2016). In Wyler’s article, it shows a photo, from March 2014 when the activists of ‘Mohawks of

Throughout the years the relationship between crime and the media has been a matter of reoccurring controversy. Society as a whole consumes media in different forms, if it is from the television, radio, newspaper, or the Internet. A few individuals within society are aware of potential biases within the construction and the reporting of news stories from the media. All forms of news, no matter which source it originated from, will have a constructed newsworthy quality. There are many important reasons for why just one story is chosen for coverage when others are not. According to Reiner, Livingstone and Allen, they stated, “Events that appear to disrupt expectations [or are] deviant occurrences are the stuff of news” (Reiner et al. 2003 page

When you turn on the television to get the latest news broadcast, do you ever wonder exactly how bias the information you’re receiving is? Whether it’s about politics, an investigation, or a criminal trial, a person must critically analyze the information that’s being presented in front of them before they should make any form of judgment based off what is said. Criticism of the media is an important aspect of Gone Girl and “The Braindead Megaphone.” In both literary works, media is represented or described as subjective, storytelling, and dangerous in some situations, which is prevalent in the real worlds postmodern broadcasting.

Media is the most effective method of mass communication. There are many different sources of mass media; broadcast, advertising, digital, hypermedia, interactive, multimedia, new media, news media, print media, published media, recorded media and social media(Dictionary.com 2017). Considering all the different forms media can take, it isn’t all too shocking that media has had an influence on deviant behaviors. The media’s influence though, is attributed to promoting deviance rather than reducing it.
