The Modern Media: Critique, Comparisons and Conclusions drawn from Works by Michael Parenti, Ben Bagdikian and Bill McKibben
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the effects of modern media as found in the works of Parenti, Bagdikian and McKibben. Living in today’s modern world, individuals are well aware of the amount of information they are receiving from the various media and information sources. While individuals may be aware of the mass influx of information they are receiving in the different media formats of, for instance, television, the movie industry and the newspaper and news magazine industries to name a few, most individuals are not aware of the influence this information has on them, or more so, the sources of the influence. Through the works of Michael Parenti, Ben H. Bagdikian and Bill McKibben, there appears to be a much larger and darker side to the media and information industry. Basically, no level of the media industry is immune to political and corporate influence which regulates the content of entertainment and news and in turn directly or subtly influences all individuals in modern society. As a result, individuals are not only being inundated with political and corporate ideals but they are often unaware of this process. In addition, individuals are loosing contact with social and natural factors which provided the basis for community relations and rational and independent thought in the past. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Role of the Media in Crime Investigations: Information Access, Limitations and Recommendations
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing media access to information during crime investigations and the role of the media. While the media’s role is considered an important one in crime investigations, especially in the areas of mass appeals, most research has shown that the relationship between the crime investigation units and the media is one of a delicate balance. When policing units do not release information to the media, they are disregarding their responsibility to the safety of the public while at the same time leaving the media to initiate their own investigations often with unreliable information and conclusions. On the other hand, when too much information is released, the investigation can be jeopardized, or the release of sensitive information can be damaging to the victims and their families. The media sensationalizing crimes or releasing too much information has also led to accusations of copycat crimes. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
