    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Accuracy: This falls under accuracy because the writer is explaining how media can lead a chain reaction. But there is no examples of it or data so questionable.

  • 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.

      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

  • 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.

Interestingly, according to this website, "Because of mass media's rising campaign on beauty products and weight-loss products, people have been given the idea that they need to be appearance-conscious to get noticed. And with a lot of skinny celebrities and models in the media spotlight, it gives people a misconception that being skinny is synonymous to being beautiful. And because of this misconception that a lot of women become obsessed in losing weight, by any means necessary, be it naturally or not." It's interesting what people will do to look like celebrities. This would certainly be a negative effect on the youth due to mass media.

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.

    This is a rather unprofessional looking site upon first glance. It does, however, have a lot of promising looking numbers and statistics. I will examine their validity.

    You are right to question it, no apparent author, not so professional looking either. It does link out to the sources mostly, and those are legit if not the highest grade sources.

    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.
