Media Coverage of Increasing Oil Prices Research Paper by write123

This paper compares and contrasts the way various forms of media present the same story from different, and sometimes even opposite stand points, particularly in the case of the increase in oil prices.
It points out that the presentation of the news depends on two major variables: the importance and relevance of the story, the independent variable; and the target audience of the media channels, the dependent variable. The paper maintains that, although the purpose of media is to inform the population about any significant events in an impartial manner, it has often been used as a means of manipulating the masses. The paper takes a particular look at the significant increase in the media's interest in oil prices over the past few years, revealed in the increased numbers of newspaper articles, news broadcasts, radio programs and Internet videos, articles or posted comments on blogs. The paper concludes that television, radio and internet media channels influences more people by using simpler expressions and explanations than printed publications, such as major newspapers and journals.
