This essay looks at how the different news media report news events. This paper argues that television reporters and journalists transform the facts of an event or newsworthy item into a product that can be consumed by the general public, rather than report the facts or truth of a story. The paper points out that, while television could be a positive force in our society and in a democracy, it is instead becoming more trivial and sleazy.
From the Paper:
"Media is defined, according to the American Heritage Dictionary as?an intervening substance through which something is transmitted or carried on.? It seems that this definition leaves out the "spin factor", in the case of political argument and campaign journalism. A more succinct definition is an intervening substance through which something is transformed to meet the current needs of the disseminator. According to Crouse's book, The Boys on the Bus, information gathered by the media is more product than reality."
