Summary
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Mass media have metamorphosed from a collection of individuals focused upon accurately gathering and reporting society and the world's goings-on to a splintered faction of journalists whose only desire is to trump the next reporter by scooping the story under any incorrect and/or unethical means. This transformation has cost the once-respected journalism trade a hefty price in terms of its reputation; the public has become wary of what it reads, hears and sees with the advent of sensationalized reporting. War coverage is a particularly delicate area where a given journalist's personal agenda, sloppy fact-finding and pressure to produce routinely skew the truth. No bibliography.

Television's Transformation of "Tiny"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing a 1980 article mourning the decline of intellectual discourse in favor of the smallness of television.

The paper argues that people have greater ability to and interest in forming their own opinions than media have given them credit for being able to do, citing our rejection of networks for fact-only CNN during the Persian Gulf War in support.

The Computer as a Powerful Tool in Media Convergence
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the computer as a powerful tool in media convergence. The computer has quickly become the most powerful media tool today and is steadily adapting to all aspects of the media and is leading the way to media convergence. Because television and radio broadcasts using video and audio streams which can be converted digitally, computers have easily adapted to also offering video and audio features. Perhaps more importantly, in the convergence of the devices of computer and television, “television” viewers will be able to have autonomy in the programs they watch and the personal preferences which can be added to include local information among other options. Within the news media, the computer has become a vital tool not only in regards to information gathering but also in areas such as production and news-flow management in which computers coordinate productions using Web, audio and video feeds. Even the print media, which fundamentally seems historically different, has benefited with its convergence with the computer as newspapers and magazines which are available online can reach a far greater audience than using the traditional distribution methods.

A 5 page assertion that the electronic media is one of the most influential entities of the modern world.
