Abstract
On October 2, 1952 the Chinese press - as evidenced in translated documents contained in the "Survey of the China Mainland Press" - was preoccupied by the opening of the Asian-Pacific Peace Conference in Peking (Beijing) almost to the exclusion of all other issues. However, even in the press excerpts from this conference, a number of subsidiary issues can be seen to manifest themselves.

Abstract
This essay examines media coverage in China. The material examined is primarily the media log, which is included in the appendix of the paper. The examination looks at media coverage over a five day period of time and the focus of the coverage is on foreign relations and international co-operation, modernization and development.
From the Paper
"China does not have a free press. This means that the media is directly controlled by the Government (Falkenheim 1). This government controlled media tends to be particularly interested in two types of issues. These issues are foreign relations and international co-operation and modernization and development. Foreign relations and international co-operation seem to be the most common issues in the Chinese media. A four day examination of the major issues in the People's Daily.com found that 28.5 per cent of the stories focused on issues related to foreign relations and international co-operation (Appendix 1)."

From the Paper
"The Paula Jones lawsuit has occupied the attention of the news media for a long time, and even with the discovery of new scandals about President Clinton, the Jones suit has remained a central issue. Other scandals are talked about as if they were related to the Jones suit. This makes the dismissal of the lawsuit on April 1, 1998 a major event, and it has been treated as such in the news media. This does not mean the lawsuit or its dismissal have clear meanings, and the way each has been talked about shows that the media cannot decide a number of things about the case or about the fact that it has been dismissed. In the early hours after the dismissal, the media speculated about what this meant--did it mean the case was over, would it be appealed, what does this say about the issues involved, and so on.
John Riley and Shirley E. Perlman in Newsday announced that.."

A comparison of traditional media coverage and new media coverage.

Abstract
This paper compares traditional media to new media in an attempt to determine which one is more influential and how they differ in their stories and presentation methods.
From the Paper
"Media is always biased, less trained, unprepared, and hasty or simply looking for sensationalism and that is the reason why the news that we receive is either insignificant or highly distorted. Apart from the reporting of various events during the recent Iraq War, which I trust were never reported accurately, the media also tried to divert public?s attention from pressing issues to those of minor significance by obsessing over trivial events. That media cannot be fully trusted for accurate account of events became a big issue when the story of Private Jessica Lynch came forth. Newspapers, televisions, local channels, radio stations and even the Internet obsessed over Jessica Lynch and her rescue from Iraqi forces. Almost overnight, she became the most important person in the world- an icon that everyone wanted to know more about. Lynch was presented as an epitome of courage and bravery and it appeared as if the only real purpose of having US force in Iraq was to rescue Jessica Lynch. ?In the fourteen days after her rescue, Lynch drew 919 references in major papers, according to a Nexis search. In that same period, General Tommy Franks, who ran the war, got 639 references, Vice President Dick Cheney 549, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz 389. She stood with the giants.?

From the Paper
"Introduction
In China, as in most totalitarian states, the press is really little more than another arm of the government. In the Beijing Spring of 1989, however, for a brief moment that dynamic changed. Whereas the usual opposition or rebellion movement would have no voice in or means to manipulate the press, the student democracy protestors in Tiananmen Square found themselves both gaining straightforward coverage from their national press and also able to participate in the process by granting interviews and attempting to manipulate the coverage. The reasons for this change are multifold, among the most important of these being the behind the scenes power struggle within the government, during which it relaxed its control of the information flow. This did not, however, mean that the students.."

The Media's Coverage of the Tsunami, 2005.
An analysis of the media coverage of the Asian tsunami.
2,257 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that, while many have argued that the media's coverage of the Asian tsunami has had a positive humanitarian effect, this is not entirely true. The paper explains that the media covered the tsunami because of its dramatic and profitable nature and, despite arguments to the contrary, the "CNN effect" is not the primary factor behind the aid donations, whether from governments or individuals. The paper claims that, in addition, it negatively impacted the organization and distribution of aid and humanitarian relief.
From the Paper
"The media is a profit making business and not a humanitarian one. Its aim is not to promote interest in the affairs of other people and countries or to communicate information about humanitarian and natural disasters that require action and attention. Instead, the media main guideline in selecting stories is whether or not they will attract the attention of viewers and increase rating. This might seem to be a very hard judgment against the media, especially when it played such a profound role in attracting global attention to the humanitarian disaster caused by the tsunami, significantly aiding the collection of donations but, according to media experts, this is a fair judgment. Interestingly, this is the judgment passed against the media by an American media corporation known as PBS."

Media Coverage of Crime, 2007.
A review of the factors that play a role in the media coverage of crime.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the validity of the hypothesis that crimes are largely covered in the media because they provoke public interest and a fascination with the macabre and that for this reason the majority of covered crimes tend to be violent in nature. It discusses whether factors such as victim characteristics, perpetrator demographics or other variables play a role in media coverage of crime.
Table of Content:
Introduction
The Effects of Crime, Victim and Defendant Characteristics
Other Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Though a number of cliched explanations for biased media coverage of crime stories exist, the findings of the relevant research elicit interesting, contrary results. It appears that the biggest predictor of media coverage may be the number of victims relating to the news incident, which one may interpret in relation to the popularity of violent crime: a story involving a large number of victims probably involves a high degree of violence. Many typical conceptions regarding media coverage, including influences from location, victim and defendant characteristics, and weapon demographics, seem doubtful. Evidently crime news in general is popular because the public are interested in the drama of it all - drama which may have little to do with the actual crime, as the media exaggerates crime stories and tends to portray them from the police's point of view. It is the human element of crime that draws in viewers, and it is human enterprise that is responsible for biased media coverage of crime."

Abstract
This paper examines the question of whether Tom Golisano, running as a third-party candidate for governor of New York in the past mid-term elections, received an appropriate degree of coverage in the region?s newspapers.The author counted the number of newspaper articles per candidate. The author concludes that, because of the relatively limited impact of third-party candidates, the amount of coverage that Golisano received was fair and appropriate.
From the Paper
"One of the important questions in American politics is why the two parties have so much power, in contrast to many nations in which numerous political parties are represented both in the government and in the national public political debate. One of the major differences between countries with two parties and those with a variety of political parties is, of course, the difference between a parliamentary system of government and our own, which does not encourage power sharing amongst different parties."

Media Coverage, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that it is not uncommon to question the accuracy of the content of news reports, especially in light of recent cases of fraudulent news reporting. The author points out the potential problem of media power and inequality representation as seen in the Michael Jackson molestation case. The paper exaimes news stories regarding the Jackson case including CTV News, "Maclean's Magazine", "The Toronto Star" and the UPI News Service.
From the Paper
"It is not uncommon to question the accuracy of the content of news reports, especially in light of recent cases of fraudulent news reporting. Not long ago New York Times reporter Jayson Blair was accused of repeatedly concocting specifics while covering the D.C. sniper story. How can a trusted professional make up information and publish it as fact? Public complaints regarding bias in the news has become a hot topic as one story after the other is found to be fraudulent (i.e. Janet Cooke of the Washington Post)."

Political structure of Saudi Arabia; role of mass media; government regulations. Freedom of Press in U.S.; limits in U.S. (obscenity, libel, clear & present danger principle). Control of media.
From the Paper
"The shootings and death at Columbine High School in Colorado in the spring of 1999 were in many ways a quintessentially American event. Not only did the events -? in which two high school students invaded their own school armed as if they were army commandos and slaughtered fellow students and teachers -? take place on American ground, but the incident spoke to wide-ranging cultural concerns already present in the United States.
This was not the first school shooting in the United States. Others have followed it since, but it received an almost dizzying amount of notice in the media. Perhaps this is because of the scale of the carnage, perhaps merely because it happened to come at the historical moment when Americans were beginning to be ready to deal with the consequences of their living in such a highly armed society. It could also be because it occurred as the..."

Abstract

From the Paper
"This study will examine the media coverage of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The thesis of the study will be that the media was biased in its coverage of the riots, and that that bias was based on racial stereotyping.
The sources consulted for this study indicate clearly that there was substantial bias in the coverage of the rioting. That bias involved reporters' assignments, the power over who wrote the words of the stories filed, the description of the rioting and its participants, and, most importantly, an almost total absence of meaningful analysis of the deeper socioeconomic issues which gave rise to the rioting.
Ishmael Reed, in Airing Dirty Laundry, posits the theory that the media is rife with subtle and not-so-subtle racial bias ..."
