Chapter 6 of Advertising and Society an Introduction presents both an argument and counterargument for alcohol advertising. One argument in favor of alcohol advertising is titled “Publication and Dissemination Biases in Survey Research.” Often, results from these studies are skewed for drinking onset and behavior. Sometimes investigators even distort the results of a paper’s conclusion or abstract. In an examination of 15 studies about adolescent drinking and advertising, all of them presented distorted views. An example was a nationwide survey by Fleming and colleagues which found that “exposures to liquor ads on billboards and in magazines are unrelated to alcohol expectancies, youths’ intentions to drink, and alcohol use by young adults” (Blackwell 93). Additionally, beer advertisements have been found to have a negative association with alcohol expectancies. Exposure to alcohol

The health market is a growing movement, using strategies such as: “creating, communication, and delivering health information and interventions”, to promote the health of their intended audiences with social marketing by creating “multimedia consumer products” (Barragan). Health communication was found to be very effective in influencing the audience’s opinions, according to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, their campaign in 2009 also used mass media advertisements to inform the public about excess calories from sugary beverages (Chan). It was only a few weeks of the “kickoff event”, with an audience of nearly five hundred thousand. Additionally, the campaign was on four local radio stations, ten print and online news articles, two Spanish newspapers, and thirteen Asian print media channels. There were “1.5 million Twitter impressions, and 63,000 interactions on Facebook, alongside 535,000 website hits”, including a “sugar calculator” that received about 60,000 hits. Many elements of the campaign were reused in a way that successful parts of previous campaigns such as “Rethink Your Drink” and “Pouring on the Pounds”, to attract a general adult audience. Children were the “second audience” that would be informed of the campaign by parents (Barragan, ChicagoTribune, NY

Most media campaigns focus on college student drink¬ing based on its college campus, using a mix of posters, flyers, electronic mail messages and college newspaper advertise¬ments (Berry, D. (2007). Health communication: theory and practice. Maidenhead, Berkshire, England: Open University press.) There are three different types of campaigns that advocacy’s like to use. First, an Information campaign, which is to attempt to increase awareness of the problem, usually with the intent of motivating students to avoid high-risk alcohol use (2016, October 04). ROLE OF MASS MEDIA IN CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT DRUG ABUSE. Retrieved February 28, 2017, from http://projecttopicshq.com/role-mass-media-creating-awareness-drug-abuse/). Second, advocacy campaigns attempt to stimulate support for community or public change and the third is social marketing campaigns, which try to correct misperceptions of current drinking norms (Shiavo, Renata. Health Communication: from theory to practice. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass,

The media is the most important element of the environment that can influence college student drinking. Research addresses the effects of media on drinking from two perspectives: combating the negative impact of advertising from the alcohol industry and using the media constructively to create positive change. Underage individuals experience significant exposure to alcohol advertising which increases awareness and affects intention to drink. This has led some public health groups to conclude that there is a link between advertising and alcohol consumption.

Mass media has considerable potential for affecting health behavior. Results indicated that the amount of media based health information is associated with a patient’s health decision making process and a medical professional’s medical advice.

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
