Causes? cedrickido757 https://padlet.com/cedrickido757/9s0x5jxkyyuu/wish/137663193 One of the major problems of the media is ethinism and belonging which occurs mostly in the african and asian countries this is when the journalists and the editors favour their place of origin or hometown in their publications. One problem facing the media also is the gocvernment.whereby all news are not permited to be published though it is said to be a free press because the government is supposed to serve as a watch dog for the citizens on the government and if there is any suspected movement of any fraud of indecent acts the media is suppose to inform the citizens, but in this case the government bring in violence and the journalists could be physically dealt with such as in the case of dele giwa from nigeria in 1988 where he was letter bombed at his residence in lagos. Another way the government stops the media from reporting effectively is by refusing to put government advertisement on that media outlet if they keep on interfering in the runnings of the government and this can put some media houses out of the industry.

Causes? cedrickido757 https://padlet.com/cedrickido757/9s0x5jxkyyuu/wish/137664492 I believe the biggest problems with mass communication is the theory itself. Firstly, mass is a large group of people , the masses often refers to the greater society or common society, usually the middle class. Therefore to communicate to the mass               (everyone) can never realistically be achieved, and the mass is undefinable, you cant claim to be presenting media to the mass but not define what the mass consists of, not everyone has media available to them. The second issue in the theory of mass communication is the communication part. Communication can be characterized by a two-way conversation via print, verbal, screen act. In mass communication as we know it today very little of it is truly a two way form of communication. its more like mass presentation of information which in Australia today comes from a narrow group of people (packers/stokes/murdoch) to the so called masses, clearly this information presented will be biased and limited usually uniform over all facts of media.

There is tendency for the press to play up and dwell on stories that are sensational - murders, car crashes, kidnappings, sex scandals and the like.

* In a study by the American Society of Newspaper Editors, eighty percent of the American public said they believe "journalists chase sensational stories because they think it will sell papers, not because they think it is important news. " Another 85 percent of the public believes that "newspapers frequently over-dramatize some news stories just to sell more papers." Over 80 percent believe sensational stories receive lots of news coverage simply because they are exciting, not because they are important.

* 78 percent of the public thinks journalists enjoy reporting on the personal failings of private officials.

* 48 percent of the public sees misleading headlines in their paper more than once a week.

The flourishing of online dating offers a striking example of how the construction of significant relationships can draw on the resources provided by the social media. The influence of the Internet has been most significant in the way it has transformed the lives of young people. Their digital bedroom symbolizes a childhood that is significantly mediated through the social media, mobile phones and the Internet. Friendship interaction  relations are increasingly conducted online or through text messaging. Such interactions have had major cultural consequences. Texting and online communications have influenced the evolution of language. They have thrown up new rituals and symbols and have had an important impact on people’s identity—the young in particular. Mediated exchanges often shape and reinforce people’s status and identity. Consequently what happens to people through their online interactions really matters to the way that people perceive themselves offline.

The Internet and social media are very powerful tools that can influence and shape human behavior. The social media has played a significant role in recent outbreaks of social protest and resistance. The relationship between the social media and radicalization is both an interactive and dynamic one. The social media provides a medium through which pre-existing sentiments can gain greater clarity, expressions and meaning. It provides a medium for the kind of interaction that can throw up new ideas, new symbols, new rituals and new identities. In this sense it has helped stimulate the emergent Western jihadist youth sub-culture and arguably its online expressions have exercised an important influence on its offline trajectory.

Social networks encourage discovery. If someone is interested in certain books, bands, recipes or ideas, it's likely that their interest will be catered for by a social networking service or group within a service. If users are looking for something more specific or unusual then they could create their own groups or social networking sites. Social networking services can help young people develop their interests and find other people who share the same interests. They can help introduce young people to new things and ideas, and deepen appreciation of existing interests. They can also help broaden users' horizons by helping them discover how other people live and think in all parts of the world.
