This page delves deeper into the various organizational and external factors that shape news content and presentation.
Financial Costs and Resource Constraints
Quote: Williams observed that "cost cutting has turned investigative journalism into digging up dirt on celebs."
The Rise of Infotainment
Entertainment elements in news have become increasingly important to attract larger audiences and generate more revenue.
Vocabulary: Infotainment refers to the blending of information and entertainment in news presentation, often prioritizing engaging content over in-depth reporting.
The Audience's Role
Pluralists argue that audiences not only select the news they want to see but can also influence its presentation:
Example: The Sun targets readers with less formal education, while The Guardian aims at those with higher education levels.
New Media and Its Impact
Social media and digital platforms have transformed news consumption:
Highlight: Social media played a crucial role in facilitating revolutions in the Middle East by providing platforms for expression and organization.
Government and Advertiser Influence
Example: Advertisers now collect data across multiple platforms to tailor both advertisements and news stories to individual consumers.
This page explores the significant role media plays in shaping public perception and societal norms.
Media's Influence on Public Opinion
The media has a powerful ability to shape how people think about various issues and events. This influence operates through several mechanisms:
Definition: Media influence refers to the power of mass media to affect public opinion, behavior, and societal norms through the selection and presentation of information.
Roles of Media in Society
The media serves several crucial functions:
Highlight: The media's role as a watchdog is essential for maintaining transparency and accountability in democratic societies.
News Presentation and Its Effects
How news is presented can significantly impact public understanding and reaction:
Example: A front-page headline will likely have more impact on public opinion than a small article buried within the newspaper.
Media Ownership and Control
The concentration of media ownership can lead to:
Vocabulary: Media conglomeration refers to the process by which a small number of large companies come to dominate mass media outlets.
Challenges in the Digital Age
The rise of digital media has brought new challenges:
Quote: "The internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had." - Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google
The final page examines the government's role in media regulation and the evolving nature of news consumption in the digital age.
Vocabulary: Consumer data analytics refers to the collection and analysis of user information to personalize content and advertising.
Highlight: Modern advertisers use sophisticated data collection across platforms to target content and predict audience interests.
The relationship between government regulation and media freedom represents a crucial balance in maintaining journalistic integrity while ensuring responsible reporting.
The news we consume is not a direct reflection of reality, but rather a social construction shaped by various factors. This page introduces key concepts in understanding how news is selected and presented.
The Social Construction of News
News is created through people applying their values and biases to events, rather than being an objective representation of reality. This process is influenced by:
Definition: Social construction of the news refers to the process by which events are filtered, selected, and presented as news based on social, cultural, and economic factors rather than purely objective criteria.
News Values

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
