Another negative thing in political news is fake news. People could write incorrect or false information about an event or someone that is in the government. The rumors and gossips are called radio trottoir. Newspapers would collect these rumors and gossip and print it out to public. These rumors could be created by the government officials could make fake news up to destroy their opposition opponent. An example of this false news are cartoonist Jo Mini who worked for the Ghanaian Chronicle. He targeted the Rawlings family as he drew the Rawlings as a boorish thug who winked at corruption at the highest level of government. This drawing also helped to reinforce the rumors about the abuse of office in the Ghanaian Chronicle. This shows a negative rumor about political family that might be false or misleading. There are many ways media is use in the media socially and negatively. A positive thing is that it helps expose human rights abuse or violations. An example of this is the LGBT community as they use websites, Facebook, twitter and etc to connect with the LGBT community and expose the abuse.One the website that use is the Behind the Mask. This website concentrates on the LGBT activism throughout the continent and sharing it content on the website. It supplied information to the African gays, lesbians of any ethnicity and the supporters of LGBT as a way of support. It was way to update everyone in the world on what was happening in the LGBT community in various African
Rhetoric is a powerful tool used in today's society. It can be positively used in such ways as refuting an argument with prose and articulation. However, rhetoric can also have a negative connotation. Rhetoric is the art of persuasive speaking or writing. In relation to politics, the term rhetoric is almost exclusively negative. In regards to rhetoric in the media, it can be very influential to the audience. It is important to be able to recognize negative impacts of rhetoric so that the mind is not easily persuaded with misconception. One of the negative effects of persuasion through the media is racial stereotyping. This research paper aims to acknowledge and debunk racial stereotypes. Due to negative uses of rhetoric in the media, racial stereotypes are done unintentionally, can harm one's self image, and can reinforce prejudices.
Television is one of the most influential technological development of the 20th century that allowed society to be more accessible to information and to be more communicative between people. By the 1960s, television has reached politics in the United States, greatly impacting its presidential elections. Although, it has served as an effective media stimulating political interests of the Americans, it has brought many more negative impacts on American politics; Not only does television distort images of the candidates and legislators, it also, distracts people away from politics. Thus, television, a mere tool that commercialism employs, producing no politics, but “cotton candy for the mind”, has no beneficial , if not degrading effect on America’s presidential elections.
Media plays a huge role in today's society. Media, in its many forms, can be very persuasive and can change how people view a certain topic. The past few years, media has greatly affected how people feel about topics such as: gay rights, abortion, racism, and anything political. Depending on what site, or source you are on, media can depict the topic you research however it wants. It has been argued that there are political bias in media, which is not wrong. You can find just about anything in whichever political view you want. When talking politics, there are multiple media outlets that are party-based. Even in print, you can find just about anything in favor of what you believe if you look for it. Media does a fantastic job of manipulating people to believe certain things without the audience realizing it. The media provides constant information about politics, and in more times than not, political rather than professional. In this lesson, we learned about liberals and conservatives and how political parties can be affected through media bias and public opinion.
Since there is such easy access to fast communication devices such as cell phones and the internet. The media is what comes out of such a wide popular use of the internet and television. The media has wide control over what is shown on television and also a lot of what is seen online in advertisements. The media will manipulate the way people think about things. An example could be that the media is what makes young boys and girls obsessed with reaching certain unobtainable goals of looking a certain way.
Anyone can know a part of a story, and have an opinion on the whole story. No one knows it all, and no one ever will. Some people will try to search, but most will be satisfied, content, with their findings. We would think that as people, our curious mind would want more, just like we do with many things. More is always more. Not with news and information. In America, Television news networks, newspapers, and other news outlets constantly release information with all kinds of biases and people listen blindly. The public needs to be aware of the different ways media can tweak and omit information so that viewers and readers can receive the full, most accurate, and non-partial information out there.
The media is an amazing invention that can be a very good tool during times of distress. There are issues with media sometimes but overall, it can be useful in the right hands. Throughout history, the media has been used wisely to enrich the knowledge of the public and to show what can be done in order to help their fellow man.
Since the ability to communicate was invented, conservatives have always argued that there is a liberal bias in the media; whereas the liberals have argued that the conservatives have used the media to control people with fear and create a division in the public. Let’s first look at what is a liberal and conservative. As defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a liberal is defined as “believing that government should be active in supporting social and political change” and “not opposed to new ideas or ways of behaving that are not traditional or widely accepted;” whereas a conservative is defined as “believing in the value of established and traditional practices in politics and society” and “not liking or accepting changes or new ideas”
When you think of politics today in America, what is the first thing that pops into your head? If you’re like me, your first thought was about Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump. Your second thought might be about the major hot button issues in the United States today, such as Health Care, Immigration Reform, and Gun Control. Whether you’re like me or not, I’ve noticed one thing during this presidential race that cannot be avoided: media biases. The media today is a major part of politics, and often times is who we look to when deciding what candidate we want to vote for. Media biases involving politics, in my opinion, should not exist because it is unethical.
Distributing information and news before it has been fully investigated can cause several problems. If information is put forth before being investigated it can cause false perception, negative attitudes, and bias. It is very important that all angles are examined and the facts are brought to light.
The media is a very multi-diverse business with a huge amount of competition, which is why any attention to the media is important. The most ridiculous idea may attract the largest audience. Bad media can also be good media as it can captivate the attention of many viewers. Viewers may feel insulted, discriminated, upset, targeted, offended, etc., but
Media plays an enormous role on people’s lives. For the good or for the bad, people tend to believe what they constantly see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What the media wants to do is to make an affect on someone. It can literally be anything. As long as something that is said in the media creates or makes an impact on that particular person, the media has done
Media has become a powerful source of knowledge, and a great breakthrough in human history. Who can regret that media is a daily need in our lives. Media has the ability and control to adjust to all levels of knowledge in people. Media helps us to escape from our daily lives and our problems in times of stress. Thou Media as proved to be beneficial by educating, entertaining and informing us, it has also have its downfall, to cause many bad influences to the younger audience. Media has influenced us to conduct bad behavior, breed violence among teens and fear to the public, thus causing a lot of negative conflicts among ourselves. Television, Music, Internet, and more, are just some of the media exposure that needs to be censored and
Media has been around for hundreds of years now. The media used to be only the press. An example is newspapers and magazine.Over time Media itself has been evolving through technology. As technology evolve the media became television, Facebook, twitter, movies, the radios and cellphones. Media, itself has play a leading role throughout history around the world.It has connected people globally and depicts events that are happening globally.

The media of that communication have developed and changed drastically over the centuries, ranging from elementary languages to the Internet. Media as a means of communication have been extremely influential in the development of human society, including politics. One place the media has play a significant role in is Africa.

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 can change opinions because they have access to people and this gives it a lot of strength. This strength can either be used constructively by educating the people or it can be used destructively by misleading the innocent people. Power of the media can transform the whole society especially in the developing countries it can be used as a 'weapon of mass destruction'. But I think the most important use of media is to educate the people about the basic human rights. The dilemma of the developing countries is that people are not fully aware of their basic rights and if they know, they don't know about what to do and where to go. They don't know their collective strength. Even they don't know how to protest and what is the importance of
