  • asked black children to choose which baby doll they prefer (black or white), 47% of the children stated the white baby doll was the prettiest, reinforcing that ideals on beauty are shaped at an early age.

      media affects children at a young age already whether we know it or not
  • Mass media gives indicators to young people about what is considered “normal” and “not-normal,”
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      media gives the youth a distorted image of what they should look like which makes them want to be something that they are not
  • When [journalists] report what is normal, they also make an implicit statement about what is abnormal.
  • Low income families spend more money on television programming than on hobbies, and young people in these homes watch far more hours of television than those of higher income homes where more money is spent on hobbies.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      that's actually an interesting fact because i had no idea about this
  • The more exposure to unrealistic violence in media (e.g. games, television, movies), the higher the likelihood for aggression or violence in young people.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      more youth that sees violence tends to portray this violence in real life whether it be starting fights or getting involved in gangs
  • for every four violence acts on prime time television, 32 violent acts occur on children’s programs every hour."
  • As many aggressive teens are perhaps labeled as anti-social or defiant, these music/music video choices can help them identify with a social group.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      music gives youth something to start up a conversation and find friends since they have a common interest
  • intensive or excessive [media] viewing can affect a child’s brain and the development of creativity and intelligence by: a) reducing stimulation of parts of the brain that are critical for the development of language, reading and analytic thinking, b) diminishing mental ability and attention, and c) discouraging the development of executive systems needed for regulating attention organization and motivation.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      i think that kids who don't do anything besides watching tv or sitting inside have the childhood that once used to be when there was no tv. they lack social skills and fitness
  • All research has room for error, and should be read knowing that there are always exceptions.
  • Social media and online gaming groups do not necessarily produce a false sense of friendship.

President Obama's campaign team has used everything from his Twitter feed to the images that official White House photographer Pete Souza sends out via Flickr to sell their preferred image of the nation's chief executive to the country.

With fewer reporters and more to cover -- thanks to the endless churn of social media, cable television and so on and so forth -- the tendency to do a sort of paint-by-numbers reporting takes over.

  • S. Liliana Escobar-Chaves of the university's Center for Health Promotion and Prevention Research,
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Accuracy - author cites her own sources in article
  • But to hazard a guess based on clear evidence that media representations influence teenage eating, smoking and drinking habits, adolescents are almost certainly affected — negatively — by sexual references and images from television, in movies and video games, in music, in magazines and on Web sites.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Relevance - the information is related to my topic because it answers how media affects the youth which is negatively. parents are the intended audience for this article
  • There is growing concern that youth are accessing media in environments isolated from the supervision or guidance of parents or other adults,"
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      parents have no idea what their children are doing when they aren't around them
  • Despite the advent of V-chips, movie ratings and televised warnings of appropriateness for young people, American teenagers have no trouble getting access to graphic sexual presentations.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      kids can get access to things that parents might not want them seeing, whether it be asking an older sibling or asking a friend
  • "Approximately 47 percent of high school students have had sexual intercourse. Of these, 7.4 percent report having sex before the age of 13, and 14 percent have had four or more sexual partners."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      having sex at a young age only seems to be more common now then it was before which is something that parents should be aware of
  • The effect of abstinence-only education pales by comparison with the many graphic messages that portray sexual activity — especially unprotected sex outside of marriage — to be a part of our culture as normal and acceptable as eating a Big Mac or drinking a Coke.
  • Each year, nearly 900,000 teenage girls in the United States become pregnant (340,000 are 17 or younger). The rates of sexually transmitted diseases are higher among teenagers than among adults, and 35 percent of girls have been pregnant at least once by age 20.
  • Data suggest that sexually active adolescents are at high risk for depression and suicide,"
  • "Early sexual experience among adolescents has also been associated with other potentially health-endangering behaviors, such as alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      doing one bad thing seems to lead to doing other bad things
  • The research indicated that adolescents who watched shows with sexual content tended to overestimate the frequency of certain sexual behaviors and to have more permissive attitudes toward premarital sex.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      sometimes what is portrayed on tv about sex and other topic is not as realistic as one may think
  • The sexual content of TV is pervasive and increasing.
  • "On average," it continued, "each hour of programming popular with teens had 6.7 scenes that included sexual topics."
  • As for the Internet, one national survey of 10- to-17-year-olds found that one in five had "inadvertently encountered explicit sexual content, and one in five had been exposed to an unwanted sexual solicitation while online."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      the internet sometimes tends to leads the youth to websites that are not meant to be seen by them 
  • The report called for better studies to assess the effects of sexuality in the mass media on adolescent beliefs and behavior
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      research is constantly going on about these various topics that may help us better understand since it still isn't perfect
  • The New York Times Company
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Accuracy - the article is published in a major newspaper, therefore the author herself sites the different information in her article to support her information

  • Television viewing frequently limits children’s time for vital activities such as playing, reading, learning to talk, spending time with peers and family, storytelling, participating in regular exercise, and developing other necessary physical, mental and social skills
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Accuracy because this is clearly a true statement. If children are wrapped up in media, they will not go out and explore. 
  • Television can be a powerful teacher
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Can be both negative and positive
  • In some disadvantaged settings, healthy television habits may actually be a beneficial teaching tool (
  • The average child sees 12,000 violent acts on television annually, including many depictions of murder and rape.
  • Television viewing makes a substantial contribution to obesity because prime time commercials promote unhealthy dietary practices
  • Commercials for healthy food make up only 4% of the food advertisements shown during children’s viewing time
  • Television can also contribute to eating disorders in teenage girls, who may emulate the thin role models seen on television (8). Eating meals while watching television should be discouraged because it may lead to less meaningful communication and, arguably, poorer eating habits
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Currency because this information is updated and new. This type of information will lately change in the future in some way, but this article has updated it recently.
  • Television exposes children to adult sexual behaviours in ways that portray these actions as normal and risk-free, sending the message that because these behaviours are frequent, ‘everybody does it’. Sex between unmarried partners is shown 24 times more often than sex between spouses (32–35), while sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy are rarely mentioned.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Many youths are not properly educated on what the outcomes are from committing unsafe sex
  • On an annual basis, teenagers see between 1000 and 2000 beer commercials carrying the message that ‘real’ men drink beer.
  • One-half of the G-rated animated feature films available on videocassette, as well as many music videos, show alcohol and tobacco use as normative behaviour without conveying the long term consequences of this use
  • tend to believe what they are told and may even assume that they are deprived if they do not have advertised products.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      This causes parents to spend more money on what children want because they believe that if their friends have it, they have to get it as well.
  • A number of studies have documented that children under the age of eight years are developmentally unable to understand the difference between advertising and regular programming
  • The average child sees more than 20,000 commercials each year (12). More than 60% of commercials promote sugared cereals, candy, fatty foods and toys
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Accuracy because the information is giving reasonable data that has been researched and studied upon. 
  • If children are allowed to be exposed to these media without adult supervision, they may have the same deleterious effects as television.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      parents must realize that they do play a huge role in what their child watches!
  • Studies show that parents play an important role in their children’s social learning (44), but if a parent’s views are not discussed explicitly with children, the medium may teach and influence by default.
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      authority because this explains where the author has done the research and received this data. 
  • Music videos may reinforce false stereotypes.
  • Parents may feel outsmarted or overwhelmed by their children’s computer and Internet abilities, or they may not appreciate that the ‘new medium’ is an essential component of the new literacy, something in which their children need to be fluent.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      technology is constantly improving and parents should want to learn how to use the new technology so that they can keep up with their children and know what their children are doing
  • Music lyrics have become increasingly explicit, particularly with references to sex, drugs and violence.
  • Some video games may help the development of fine motor skills and coordination, but many of the concerns about the negative effects of television (eg, inactivity, asocial behaviour and violence) also apply to excessive exposure to video games.
  • The effect of violent video games on children has been a public health concern for many years.
  • Up to 75% of videos contain sexually explicit material (45), and more than half contain violence that is often committed against women. Women are portrayed frequently in a condescending manner that affects children’s attitudes about sex roles.
  • The Internet has a significant potential for providing children and youth with access to educational information, and can be compared with a huge home library. However, the lack of editorial standards limits the Internet’s credibility as a source of information.
  • The amount of time spent watching television and sitting in front of computers can affect a child’s postural development
  • Parents can use technology that blocks access to pornography and sex talk on the Internet, but must be aware that this technology does not replace their supervision or guidance.

Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms? - 1 views

  • A 2001 UCLA report, for instance, found high levels of consumer concern over online privacy in general and credit card security in particular.
  • In a Euro RSCG global survey conducted among 7,213 adults in 19 countries, we found that 55% of respondents are worried that “technology is robbing us of our privacy”; the figure was above 60% in a number of countries, including the United States and China. Similarly, 61% overall agreed “People share too much about their personal thoughts and experiences online; we need to go back to being more private.”

  • Today, we happily share our date and place of birth, name of our first pet, mother’s maiden name, favorite movie or book, favorite color, first school teacher
  • Of even greater concern to many is the amount and variety of information being gathered about us without our explicit permission
  • these people typically are eager to share their thoughts via comment sections on news sites, reviews on retail sites, and in branded clubs and forums.

  • Facebook data scientist Adam Kramer, of the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, outlined what the company is learning as part of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology meeting in Austin. Its president, social psychologist James Pennebaker, of the University of Texas-Austin, says privacy is a big issue for the research world.
  • "Facebook especially, and Microsoft, is scared to death about privacy issues," he says. "A bunch of researchers have access to everybody's posts and Facebook is built on what's yours is private. They are struggling with the problem the same way as the scientific community."
  • Attorney and privacy expert Parry Aftab, of New York City — a member of Facebook's Safety Advisory Board — suggests that users shouldn't worry because the very large companies such as Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Facebook have privacy policies for users."The sites will never provide personally identifiable information unless they have the consent of the users. And there is legal recourse if they're using it in any other way," she says.

Users quitting Facebook cite privacy concerns - The Daily Beast - 0 views

    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Currency: This article is not too old or out-dated that it can be used as an useful source. It is 2014, so some researcher might bash it but I do feel the information is reliable and gives numerical statistic on what users were affected by Privacy dilemmas on Facebook.
  • Holly Ellyatt
  • "Although the Facebook quitters of the present sample represented only a very small amount of all Facebook users, many of them seemed to be concerned about privacy to such an extent that it outweighed perceived advantages of Facebook and eventually led them to quit their virtual Facebook identity," Stieger and his co-authors said in an article entitled "Who Commits Virtual Identity Suicide?"published on Wednesday.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Relevance: This information is appropiate enough to the topic because it points on the emotions tha these users have for Facebook. It appeals pathos and it shows the disadvantages that Facebook users have while trusting this site with so much valueable information.

  • A survey of around 300 Facebook users and 300 quitters of the social networking site by Austrian psychologists at the University of Vienna assessing what motivated them to use or abandon Facebook revealed an emerging counter-movement against social networking.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Accuracy: The information is coming from this author and it throws numerical information and that was found by an Austrian psychologist at a University which makes the argument a lot stronger because he specializes int he thought process and emotion of those 300 Fcebook users that felt as though they had to quit Facebook due to it harming their social identity.
  • Holly Ellyatt
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Authority: The url that took me to more information about this author has that she is a producer of CNBC which is a good quality and she can hold a view on Privacy issues on television but I am skeptical of saying is she is credible to believe on Facebook users.
  • Among those saying they were quitting Facebook, almost half were leaving because of privacy concerns.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Purpose: The main argument here is the privacy issue on Facebook is what is forcing users to leave not what Facebook content provides. Its the lack of safety of one's profile, number, age, and location that Facebook has out there to the web. Then when it comes to cleaning up your page to get  job it never goes away.
  •  
    This Article focuses on Facebook users and quitters due to the fact of feeling as though it is "virtual identity suicide". This article goes on to prove the that fact that Facebook and other socail medias can be a danger to your future career goals. Users are left with a lot of vent-like post that are taken out of content and held against them in the end.

    This is current enough and very relevant. It would be nice to look at this idea over a couple of years and see if people are still fearful!

Lesson 1: The Media and Democracy: Theory and History - 0 views

  • This introductory lesson has two components: a brief discussion of the critical role the media play in a democracy such as that we have in the United States and a history of the development of the news media in the United States, including a discussion of why the government has regulated the print media differently from the broadcast media.
  • The news media play a critical role in the American democracy. The press has always been present, and it has a privilege no other industry enjoys: a specific protection in the Constitution
  • The press is simultaneously blamed and praised for many aspects of American political life. On the one hand, it is accused of a wide array of offenses: endangering national security, oversimplifying important issues of public policy, focusing too much on the negatives and not enough on the achievements of government, and demonstrating some sort of political bias.

  • Television is the most influential medium in American society and has been for many years.
  • Americans perceive television primarily as an entertainment medium, but many Americans also depend on it as a source of information about many issues, including politics.
  • In 2004, the American National Election Study found that 86 percent of people said they followed the 2004 presidential campaign on television.
  • Television is perceived as more credible than print, according to studies by Journalism.org, the Pew Research Center, and others, and this is probably due to the visual nature of the medium. However, the same reports show that trust in both local television and national networks has steadily declined (as has trust in all media sources).
  • Reporters seem to be automatically suspicious of the motives of elected officials and politicians running for office.
  • Politicians believe that the time, money, and energy they devote to press relations will pay off in the form of reelection or support for their policy proposals.
  • While the public relies on the news media as a source of information about politics, politicians also depend on the press, both in elections and in governing.
  • Since the 1970s, Americans have become much more likely to identify themselves as independents rather than as Democrats or Republicans. The weakening of the political parties has made it possible for more individuals to run for office without spending years paying their dues in the parties. But it has also affected the ability of the parties to speak effectively to voters and mobilize them at election time.
  • As a result of the weakening of the political parties, candidates have to cultivate their own relationships with voters, and the way they do that is through the mass media.
  • In the early days of the nation, the press was blatantly partisan, as it still is in many other democratic countries.
  • Theodore Roosevelt, our first truly media-savvy president, tried to use the reporters who covered the White House for his own benefit. He gave them access that they hadn't previously enjoyed, but he also threatened to take away that access if their reporting displeased him.
  • Elected officials and candidates for office need to get their views out to the voting public, and the members of the press see their job as screening those views for truth. The result is that the press and politicians have very different imperatives that clash with each other dramaticall
  • The Kennedy-Nixon presidential debates of 1960 were another important series of events in the emergence of television as a political medium.
  • Today, thanks to the development of cable and satellite technology, television provides a twenty-four-hour forum of political news and information.
  • The equal time rule originated in the Radio Act of 1927, and it can also be found in Section 315 of the Communications Act of 1934. It requires that stations provide all political candidates the opportunity to appear. If a station sells or gives advertising time to one candidate, it must offer the same opportunity to the other candidates in that race.
