Mass Media for Entertainment and Pleasure with Examples from British History
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing mass media for pleasure and entertainment with examples from British history. Mass media in relation to today’s society has a great many formats in which to give the public information, promotion of new merchandise, news, entertainment and various forms of pleasure in the world of television, journalism, films, computer games and the internet to name a few. Traditionally, media was thought to be a source of viable information to the masses yet history shows that media was also used as much for the pleasure and entertainment of the masses as it was to provide information about current, world or political events. In today’s newspapers, although seemingly filled with violent news, they are also filled with “feel good” stories, entertainment sections, film and literary reviews as well as the classic comic, jumble and crossword features. In the Victorian era, the mass media were the providers of scandals and serial novels highly popular in that time. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Mass Media: Contemporary Issues
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. The transformation steadily taking place in contemporary mass media has many concerned over the compromised duality of effectiveness and accuracy. Indeed, as the gatekeepers of democracy, mass media have not necessarily displayed the ethical fortitude inherent to such a position of power, but rather the extent to which exploitation and sensationalism have overtaken the fundamental basis of truthful reporting speaks to ever-changing values upheld throughout the industry.

Media Access: National Security Versus Public Access To Government Function
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. National security is maintained at myriad different levels and under countless different provisions so as to weigh the intrinsic risk associated with each individual perceived threat. When it comes to military tribunals and media access, a strong undercurrent of First Amendment rights versus the threat to national security fuels an ongoing legal debate between the press and federal judges (Anonymous, 2001). The extent to which these secret courts serve to protect against highly sensitive information leaking out through media sources is both grand and far-reaching; that certain cases have reached beyond the concern for protecting national security and granted media access in these hearings speaks to the failing efforts to balance interests of national security with public access. Bibliography lists 25 sources.

Media Advocacy Campaign: AIDS
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The inherent impact of influence empowered within mass media is an endowment bestowed on only a limited number of social representatives. That media influence can both make or break a particular issue speaks to a level of power so fierce that, if not used in a favorable light, can literally destroy its focus of attention. Addressing the prevention of AIDS is one manner by which mass media have proven to be beneficial to contemporary society, inasmuch as myriad people can be reached through television, magazines, radio and other forms of popular culture. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Media And Culture
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. To possess the power of information is to maintain complete control over society. As supposed watchdogs of democracy, the media have power like no other entity due to their individual and collective strength as bearers of communication. Words carry with them a great deal of power; they are capable of destroying nations and rebuilding faith. They are eloquent and strong, intimidating and potent. Indeed, language serves many purposes but of its many overwhelming influences, none are as significant as its ability to impart information. That much of contemporary society takes its cues from modern media, it is no surprise to find just how detrimental such omnipotent power can be upon the cultural formation of today's youth.
