5 Ways New Media Are Changing Politics - US News - 2 views

  • New social media are already changing the way organizations attract supporters.
  • But the collective outrage focused on a top-down, big-money view of politics, well, that's so . . . last century. If the goal of television ads is to motivate viewers to vote, volunteer, or give money, there are far better ways to reach people, thanks to the new media.

    It is interesting to see the role of mass media in different culture within United States.
  • eleanorthorp on 29 Oct 15
     
    I find this interesting because in the last chapter we talked a lot about how the U.S and our culture is shaped by this "melting-pot". This article almost echoes that and how the media has sort of given this group of Americans credit for their contribution.

Democracy in the age of narrowcasting - BlueOregon - 2 views

www.blueoregon.com/...democracy_in_th

shared by paigedeleeuw on 29 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • The large number of candidates in each party -- with front runners like Hillary Clinton challenged by a younger generation and veterans like John McCain fading -- creates a fluid situation that has some voters nostalgic for successful politicians of the recent past.
  • That is unlikely to happen. McCall and Reagan were men of their own time and that time has passed. McCall and Reagan were creatures of a mass media culture created largely by three television networks that replaced mass circulation magazines by the 1960s.
  • Both men were successful because they knew how to appeal to the mass audience television created. It is not a coincidence that both McCall and Reagan began their careers as broadcasters.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Former congressman Les AuCoin read it and asked me, “So how are we going to govern the country if everyone is operating on different facts?”
  • I responded, “I don’t know.” A decade later, one answer is obvious. We are not governing the country. We have two sets of leaders from at least two different worlds. They talk past one another. They appear incapable of communicating with each other and exhibit little respect for those who differ. It is more acute among Republicans than Democrats. Nonaffiliated voters are usually ignored.
  • Hillary Clinton and John McCain are practicing mass media politics in a world of narrowcasting. McCain is fading. If Clinton is nominated, she might become our last mass media president.
  • Barrack Obama may have something to offer. He is appealing to a diverse group -- younger and broader politically -- that seems to defy the deliberately circumscribed demographic categories of narrowcasting. We’ll see. Of one thing I am sure. We will not see another Tom McCall or Ronald Reagan. The conditions that allowed these men to communicate so successfully with the voters no longer exist.

    Great article, I did not realize that narrowcasting had such an effect on the voters outlook. It is interesting that someone that is not a participant in specific party can get so lost in politics because broad ideas are no longer being discussed compared to narrow ideas that are biased to one side of the debate.
  • campbellcondon on 29 Oct 14
     
    This is a very percise article about narrowcasting. It exemplifies very well what we are discussing in class and gives awesome examples on what narrowcasting is, especially in politics. It also breaks down how to identify different types of narrowcasting and how the media may be potentially trying to manipulate Americans.

  • FOX News began running more stories that criticized the liberals for trying to take away Americans 2nd Amendment rights by taking away their guns.
  • CNN is typically considered to be more in the middle when it comes to a liberal or conservative slant,
  • With the lack of non-biased information, people selectively pick and choose information based on what they want to hear, creating individuals who are not well rounded.
  • Narrowcasting can lead to narrow minds which is very dangerous to a society.

      I believe Narrowcasting is effecting the nation not necessarily in a positive way. Since people have the choice to watch or listen to media that is biased towards their own opinions they will never hear the side of opposition. 
  • paigedeleeuw on 29 Oct 14
     
    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.
  • sebasgm on 29 Oct 14
     
    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."
  • Joanne Kim on 29 Oct 14
     
    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

  • Divisive presidential campaigns are not new in American history. Politics has always been a brutal sport in which different factions vie for any advantage on voting day. While the competitive spirit of elections has little changed over the centuries, the modes in which candidates communicate their platforms and tear down their opponents have changed significantly. Now, presidential contenders are tasked with crafting a unique brand, cultivating a positive public image, and must appeal to a broader base of voters with a wider array of backgrounds and interests than ever before. The ways in which voters come to perceive and judge candidates have likewise changed with time. Visual media, especially the Internet, is one of the most important factors in modern elections.
  • Until the end of the nineteenth century, presidential candidates did little personal campaigning, preferring to let their supporters do the heavy lifting of attacking opponents and persuading voters.

    This video is a good example of right wing narrowcasting. It is obvious that this is directed to Fox News viewers. Not all Fox News viewer would agree with the statements made on this video. This is more focused to anti-Islam and anti-Obama supporters. The language used by the newscaster is very specific and persuasive. It is generalizing and directly connecting Islam with terrorism. Here is an example: "Islamic killers are the central problem on this planet." In my opinion these are radical ideas themselves. It shows some evidence and pictures relating Obama with Islam. These are there to tie Obama to the negativeness that the newscaster has already said about Islam. We can see that this is an example of narrowcasting because this will not appeal to most people. It will most likely appeal to a certain group of people which this video was made for.

    As we know, freedom of speech is an example of a Civil Right. Many countries do not allow bias media to be published, or if they do allow it, it is usually for their own benefit. This video and some ideas expressed could be offensive to some people and many would not like it (me.) But this is one of the beauties of this country. I could respond to this video with something bias on my side without a consequence from the other party that will endanger my security. Sometimes the picture could get dirty or might not be pretty, but at the end of the day it is something we should be grateful for, civil rights.

Bills to Strengthen Enforcement, Integrity of Immigration Laws Introduced in House - 0 views

  • our bills that would strengthen interior enforcement of immigration laws; remove the ability of the President to unilaterally shut down immigration enforcement; ensure jobs are preserved for legal workers; reform the United States’ asylum laws and make sure unaccompanied alien minors who make the dangerous trek to the United States are safely returned home have been introduced in the House
  • There are many issues plaguing our nation’s immigration system but the biggest problem is that our immigration laws are not enforced,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (
  • Additionally, Obama administration officials consistently exploit weak asylum standards to approve baseless claims.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • “By refusing to enforce the laws against illegal immigration, President Obama’s immigration policies collectively undermine the integrity of our immigration system and send the message to the world that our laws can be violated with impunity.”
  • “The bills introduced by Representatives Trey Gowdy (R-SC), chair of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, Lamar Smith (R-Texas) -- the former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee – Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah),
  • other broken aspects of our immigration system,
  • President can’t shut down immigration enforcement
  • “For decades, Americans have been promised a secure border and an immigration system that works for all Americans,” Gowdy said in a statement, stressing that, “Those promises have not been kept and both political parties bear responsibility for that. This legislation allows state and local governments to assist in the enforcement of our federal immigration laws. By doing so, we remove the ability of this or future Presidents – of either party – to systematically shut down portions of the law to suit their political purposes.”
  • During a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this month, Smith described The Legal Workforce Act as a tool that “turns off the jobs magnet that attracts so many illegal immigrants to the United States.”
  • “administration’s rubberstamping of fraudulent applications and policies, and effectively ends ‘catch and release,’” he stated.  
  • “Even before the President’s promises of amnesty went into effect, our borders were being inundated with unaccompanied children and teens responding to the incentive of a broken asylum policy,”
  • he Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act not only addresses the immediate concern with unaccompanied children, but closes long-exploited holes in our asylum practices.”
  • “Additional judges, attorneys and other resources will ensure children are processed, reunited with their families and sent home as swiftly as possible,”
  • The Protection of Children Act introduced by Carter would ensure unaccompanied alien minors who make the dangerous journey to the United States are safely returned home.

      This focuses on the opinions on these new bills to reform Immigration reforms that attempt to overturn Obama's immigration policies.
  • sebasgm on 03 Mar 15
     
    Bills are introduced to strengthen interior enforcement of immigration laws. This is slightly in response to Obama's call for immigration reform and his policies to make these changes. However, these bills are made to make immigration enforcement more strict, while Obama's policies attempted to weaken the enforcement of these laws. This is a large political war with democrats siding with Obama and his policies and Republicans siding with these new bills.

      I agree with this article because it helps show how social networking can influence people's thoughts on politicians, and it also helps spread news to more people since the amount of people that use facebook is huge. It also shows that more politicians could turn to facebook to spread their message to the younger generation.
