Cable television is a Great example of Narrowcasting because people only see the channels they pay for, and many channels are aimed towards people with particular interests, opinions or preferences. Fox News and CNN are channels aimed towards news. You could go even further and talk about each of those channels appealing to a certain kind of person. Fox news appeals to more conservative viewers, where CNN has more Liberal Viewers. You also have ESPN, Home and Garden, History Channel, Food network and Comedy Central. All aimed towards a certain group of people.

This video is an example of "broadcasting." This has less of personal opinions and it is more factual. This means that it appeals to a wider audience (which is the definition for it.) This CNN video shows the second plane hitting the WTC in New York during 9/11. This is something that most people will listen. Why? Because it is factual rather than bias. I think that current events fall more in the broadcasting rather than the narrowcasting. The aftermath of these could fall into narrowcasting. An example of this is the previous video I posted on Obama and Islam. Please comment if you have any other thoughts on this.

This case does seem to clearly show that discrimination was taking place at work. Peter Janos, the man who didn't want Wilson to get a promotion, seemed to have personal reasons as to why he shouldn't have given Wilson the job which were unrelated to how well he performed his job.

It's crazy to think how much narrowcasting and broadcasting often go hand in hand without us knowing. Not to mention how mind-boggling it is to think just how many different groups of people are affected, whether it's a political group, or even an ethnic group. It's begs the question of what group you might be included in when it comes to narrowcasting.

The article starts by defining narrowcasting and giving Fox News as being an example, as it is known for being a conservative new station. This article is interesting as it states that narrowcasting is detrimental to society as it "leads to narrow minds which is very dangerous to a society."

I thought narrowcasting is just an effective way of delivering information to a certain group of people, but this article points out the dangerousness of it, which is the bad influence that people can get by just getting one point of view

Surrounding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress regarding Obamas capability in handling each situation.

This video shows that the relationship between the two nations is positive and is strong, although there has been controversy over the relationship.

As Netanyahu is prepared to tear down the White House's efforts in negotiating Iraqs nuclear program, some democrats decided it wasn't worth attending while eight senators thought the same thing.

This just proves that the disaster with this whole agreement will be huge. Iran's government obviously doesn't like us, and the Senate's participation in listening to the speech upset Netanyahu. And he argued that the deal currently in the works to prevent the nation from gaining nuclear weapons would in fact "guarantee" that it secures them - "lots of them." This scares me personally because the relationship between the U.S. and Iran doesn't look promising right now.
