Day 1
After watching news on reports of extreme behavior, it is evident that news analysts and reporters overemphasize some facts or occurrences. For instance, the Orlando nightclub shooting was covered intensely whereby images of people scampering for safety were repeatedly aired. The media also used terrorism consultants and analysts who overemphasized the incidence. For instance, considering how the Orlando shooting was reported many people would believe that going to public spaces would expose one to a terrorist attack.
Day 2
Every person has mental frameworks or schemas that he or she uses to process and interpret information. After thinking about schemas that I might have, I realized that there are some foods that I would not just eat and routes that I would not take. For example, as much as I enjoy seafood, I would refuse to eat any seafood that is not well cooked. For instance I cannot eat tuna, because it tastes raw. Another mental framework that I have is that I cannot watch movies with certain actors. For instance, I cannot watch a film by a certain actor because I did not like his character in the first film that I saw him in. …show more content…

This is possibly because both my parents are Christians and so they brought me up to be a Christian. Regarding my political party affiliation, I chose it because it stands for the ideologies that I support. My family does not necessarily support my party of choice. Other things that I have adopted from my family are the type of films that I watch, how I organize my house and the route that I take to the

Media plays such a huge role in the lives of the average American that it is no wonder that it would affect their views and beliefs. When watching any media story concerning a court case the newsfeed always focuses on what the victims of the crime are affected, not the facts of the case. In the book “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson, it is highlighted how the media is able to change the public’s opinion by displaying facts inconsistent with the case. Stevenson speaks about hot in the early 1980’s the case coverage changed from, “everyone in the community is the victim…” to specifically about how the victim and their families are impacted.

The shooting and death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri is another example of how the news coverage uses media framing. In this case, the media focuses the attention on the fact that, if Brown is innocent, his murder by the police officer is an outrage and if he is a criminal, his murder is justified (Timpane, 2014). Framing is being used because the media is telling the audience to take sides among Brown and the officer. For example, there was a protest against the audience, which CNN has coverage from people turning over police vehicles because they are upset with the justice system. Another example of how the media tells the audience what to think and how to think about this issue is the coverage from the victim dead body lying in the street for hours.

Throughout his analysis of the immediate response following the massacre, Cullen portrays the media as responsible for the perpetuation of misinformation following the shooting. Primarily, Cullen uses rhetorical devices to describe the many ways that the media were to blame for allowing rumors and myths to dominate the headlines. He utilizes repetition, with long lists to show how much the media got wrong. Although most people remember Columbine differently, there were “No Goths, no outcasts, nobody snapping… no targets, no feud, and no Trench Coat Mafia… no connection to Marilyn Manson, Hitler’s birthday, minorities, or Christians” (Cullen 149).

Although some people think mass hysteria is spread by human nature, it is actually spread by media because of the amount of celebrity exposure and the impact movies, video games, and music has on the world. Popular people like celebrities have major influences on the world today and with added social media exposure this is an even bigger problem. This is shown in The Crucible when the girls all follow in Abigail Williams footsteps, she “sees” something, they all do. She “faints, they all “faint”. Another example is the case of the “Fainting Schoolgirls.”

Day 6 of 365: While driving home tonight, I was thinking of my past. Thinking what I could have done differently to change my circumstances. This is something we all do, looking at our past and saying to ourselves "what if I did it this way".   There is no point to this way of thinking, whats done is done. You as a mere mortal being here on earth cannot change the past.

This key term was used to articulate what exactly had been done in Orlando. The audience knows that this was a shooting, but classifying it as an act of terrorism tells the audience the scale of how atrocious this event was. The shooter and an act of terrorism are cause and effect clusters that go together well to explain to the audience what happened. Then, the audience is the last key term. The rhetor makes the audience itself a key term to easily identify and relate with the audience using pathos and logos that was discussed earlier.

During the 2014 Ebola panic, a research group consisting of scholars from Arizona State University, Purdue University, and Oregon State University found that, as each news report relating to the ebola virus was released, an increase in ebola related searches within social media bases, like Twitter, occured (Towers, Afzal, Bernal, Bliss, et al., 1). These searches consisted of the symptoms and spread of the virus. The increase shows that the news, a trusted entity in American society, constantly running articles gives rise to panic of disease in people’s daily life. Even though there were only a few people to contract the Ebola virus, the news played segments on the disease as if a pandemic was inevitable, thus increasing the fear in American citizens. In addition to the Ebola virus panic that swept the nation in 2014, a malfunction with an online epidemic tracker caused widespread hysteria over the influenza virus (Towers, Afzal, Bernal, Bliss, et al., 1).

A different quote in this article states “The news media is extremely powerful, and that it can inject particular points of view into its audience. At the other extreme, scholars have contended that the media has minimal effects on individuals because of various mediating conditions, including their selective exposure to media they find congenial to their views, selective perception in accordance with preexisting

The people of the internet spread a rumor that a child sex trafficking ring was being held in a pizza parlor basement… albeit, said pizza parlor has no basement. Foster points out that the bandwagon mentality fueling this claim could all have been avoided if people actually thought for themselves. Everything that happened surrounding this allegation is the consequences of today’s public lacking general critical reading and thinking skills. Had those skills been present, the conflict and misinterpretation could have been avoided, as the “ many listeners and commentators” thought this was the “fake news” she was referring to (Foster 94). These people took that to mean her idea of “fake news” was simply news that she didn’t like.

It is also interesting that the response from the media during this period of the first hours and days after the event, appeared to focus more on how few people had been killed, rather than the actual lives of those lost. Maybe this focus shows just what an impact the 9/11 terrorist attack had on the media in the US, where 3000 lives were lost, therefore the magnitude of a tragedy in the US since the 9/11 event, could be now seen as being measured by the number of lives lost. The media response to the Boston bombings was also very different to what occurred in previous terrorist attacks such as 9/11, due to changes in the use of social media and the impact these advancements in technology and the internet in the past 15 years has had on the release of information. The executive producer of a documentary of the Boston Bombings highlights the part that social media had to play in involving the public right from the second the bombs went off when he stated: “In

The media takes these crimes that occur very sporadically and mold them into a way to make people fearful of an occurrence that is incredibly unlikely to happen again, or to them. These heightened levels of fearful stories increase the anxieties of those who watch, listen, or read about the story. The people that have now heard of these heinous crimes are now more likely to create and uproar about what needs to be done about crime. The media is eliciting a response from citizens because then it is more news stories they can cover to keep the wheel

For example, the most recently alarming mass shooting occurred only a month ago in Parkland, Florida at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where a former student waltzed into one of the school buildings with an AR-15, pulled a fire alarm, and aimed his weapon at fleeing students, faculty, and staff, killing 17, and wounding 17 other victims, and has been broadcast across every platform almost nonstop. While this heartbreaking tragedy deserves all of the media attention it’s been receiving, there have been approximately 14 additional mass shootings, where 14 people have been killed, and almost 50 have been injured, with very little to no coverage in the news. Mainstream media absolutely shapes our perceptions of people and events, and by influencing public opinion, the media also directly influences our political atmosphere gun laws. Almost three
