Impact of media use on children and youth - 6 views

  • Impact of media use on children and youth
  • The influence of the media on the psychosocial development of children is profound.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      There is a large number of findings that show that media does influence youth
  • Still, physicians need to advocate continued research into the negative and positive effects of media on children and adolescents.

  • 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

      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.

      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.

Media Shapes Society - Journalism 3.0 | Sveriges Radio - 0 views

  • The little Vietnamese girl Kim Phuc ran away from her napalm-bombed village of Trang Bang, past the lens of cameraman Alan Downes, and into the whole world’s awareness of USA’s war in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam War became impossible to wage in the age of television.
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Authority and Accuracy: This was a live event caught on camera in Vietnam. It showed how real war is and the media exposed the world to what was going on at the time. 
  • FORM AND CONTENT. There’s a common logic in media: That which suits television is aired on television; if something makes a good headline, it’s placed on the front page of the newspaper.   In this way, media shapes society. Media technology determines the content. And the content in media determines images of society. But perhaps it’s not that simple. The interaction between technological, political and commercial forces can be significantly more complex

  • The development of newspapers is closely tied to the emerging formation of political parties in Europe and North America. Henry Jarvis Raymond, a journalist and politician, founded the New York Times in 1851. He was a Whig, that is, he belonged to the political party that was the forerunner of today’s Republican Party, and the establishment of the newspaper was, in part, a political project.

  • A more reflective consideration of the relationship between media and society might find this simple marketing analysis lacking in substance. The Swedish media researcher Göran Bolin  writes, in a paper on libraries, that it isn’t “a question of society being ‘mediafied’ through the transformation of information but, rather, that society itself is enclosed in human communication, in the way we all communicate with each other.”
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Relevance: This explains how media and society intertwine with each other and how media researchers today still are looking at how it affects the world. 
  • Those of us active in media will look for the influence of new technology on media and media structure, not least because the effects in this area of society have been so tangible. The new technology affects media and media structure directly. In the next steps toward the further development of Internet society, changes in the entire production order could be the most important. The effects on media and media structure might then be more indirect—but not necessarily of lesser impact.

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.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 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.

How TV Affects Your Child - 0 views

  • The average American child will witness 200,000 violent acts on television by age 18
  • While watching TV, kids are inactive and tend to snack.
  • Studies have shown that decreasing the amount of TV kids watched led to less weight gain and lower body mass index
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Limit the number of TV-watching hours: Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids' magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage kids to do something other than watch the tube. Keep TVs and internet connections out of bedrooms. Turn the TV off during meals. Don't allow kids to watch TV while doing homework. Treat TV as a privilege to be earned — not a right. Establish and enforce family TV viewing rules, such as TV is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
  • TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development.
  • Have your kids watch public television stations (some programs are sponsored — or "brought to you" — by various companies, although the products they sell are rarely shown). Record programs — without the commercials. Buy or rent children's videos or DVDs.
  • TV is full of programs and commercials that depict risky behaviors (such as drinking alcohol, doing drugs, smoking cigarettes, and having premarital sex) as cool, fun, and exciting. And often, there's no discussion about the consequences of those actions.
  • But despite its advantages, too much television can be detrimental: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.
  • And although they've banned cigarette ads on television, kids and teens can still see plenty of people smoking on programs and movies airing on TV. This kind of "product placement" makes behaviors like smoking and drinking alcohol seem acceptable. In fact, kids who watch 5 or more hours of TV per day are far more likely to begin smoking cigarettes than those who watch less than the recommended 2 hours a day.

    It is clear that the media could have a negative effect on the youth. According to this online source entitled "What Effect Does Media Have on Youth," the media could come with potential health problems for younger people. The following is bookmarked from the above URL search: "*The more sexual content that kids see on television, the earlier they initiate sexual activity, the more likely they are to regret their early sexual experiences, and the more likely they are to have an unplanned teen pregnancy. *There is a strong causal connection between youth exposure to violence in the media and violent or aggressive behavior and thoughts. *Children are exposed to nearly 300 alcohol commercials per year. Similarly, more than 80 percent of movies depict alcohol use. *The motives movie characters convey for smoking can adversely affect adolescents' real-world smoking risk." ("What Effect Does Media Have on Youth?) This shows that the media could be good; however, we cannot over look the potential harms caused by the media.

    Without mass media, openness and accountability are impossible in contemporary democracies. Nevertheless, mass media can hinder political transparency as well as help it. Politicians and political operatives can simulate the political virtues of transparency through rhetorical and media manipulation. Television tends to convert coverage of law and politics into forms of entertainment for mass consumption, and television serves as fertile ground for a self-proliferating culture of scandal.

    • 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

      Accuracy - the article is published in a major newspaper, therefore the author herself sites the different information in her article to support her information
  •  
    This article summarizes how media negatively affects children. It specifically talked about how mass media influence sexual behavior among the youth. sexual behavior beginning at a young age has led youth to doing other bad things that go along with it whether it be smoking or drinking, etc.

Mass Media and its Influence on Society - 1 views

  • rtain movements have been sparked as a result of the mass media, in cases regarding major news most of the time. For example, the O.J.Simpson case and its verdict, The Rodney King trial and its verdict (causing a major riot), the Rowe vs. Wade case, and the case regarding Kalee Anthony. Media transmission from television has been known to create grow
  • Mass media is a very useful addition to human existence on earth. It helps people with many things in life, creating more time and convenience in the day. It almost has a life of its own amongst society as they interact with it continually and necessarily. Mass media has come a long way over the last hundred years; all the way from the carted horse and town center speech to the World Wide Web and cable television. It affects everyone one way today, maybe another way the next. It is sure to be around for a long time; it is very well integrated to society globally and entrenched in societies work, entertainment, finance, and education. It can affect people in good and bad ways, sometimes depending on the views the parties involved, but still effected nonetheless. It is up to one to figure out for themselves what they will do with the information from the mass media sources; and be aware of the influences on them and people around them, keeping in mind the effects mass media has, short and long term; always examining and evaluating to assess credibility, accuracy, and influence.

    This is a great article on how mass media has influenced our society and the ways in which technology has contributed to that. I enjoyed the pictures and how it relates to our ever evolving culture.
  •  
    Again an interesting choice. In this case you really attack the idea of the nature of authority. I believe this guy is an expert in media, but hes no scholar. Nonetheless his thoughts are engaging, well-expressed and with purpose. A good example of citizen journalism!

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!

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. That is an image not filtered through the media in any way, shape or form.

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.

  • If there is anything recent elections have proven, it’s that reaching out to voters online is not only important, it’s essential. The first notable use of social media to rally the voting community was during the 2008 Presidential election, when the Obama campaign took to the web to draw out the young vote. According to research by the Pew Foundation, 83 percent of 18-24 year-olds had social networking accounts in 2008, and two-thirds of those used those sites for political activity at that time.

  • Though social media has certainly changed the face of political campaigns, it has not replaced other traditional forms of communication. “It’s additive,” says Greenberg. What she means is that having a social media campaign does not mean politicians can forego television and radio commercials. Greenberg also emphasizes that in-person rallies and town halls are an essential component of campaigns and that these venues won’t go away just because people spend more time online.
