Abstract of The Press's first chapter

Abstract of The Press

The first part of the book starts out great covering many are not usually covered on popular media streams. The reason news media can’t speak about different types of media and which ones is pure opinion and which ones are more factual is because issue will show the general public chinks to armor of its reliability. Once and awhile I spot some news program giving the background behind other news companies to show their bias even though they would never give the same explanation for themselves. The chapter did a great job explaining in an unbiased that most news media cannot avoid having connections. In the United State, Britain and Canada the news is a business. All business needs sponsorship.

Other nations don’t have the same problems western news companies have. Inappropriate sponsors don’t come into play because the option is not there. Two countries that the chapter speaks about are Russia and China where the current administration is their fact checkers. This does lead their news media to having biases but not the many biases that we have but only one.

Realization is the goal of the chapter to us reader who do not have as much experience in the news media. Many times sources are not used but neither is there an explanation of the article being opinion added or made obvious. The reason given is profit is what’s run these businesses. It doesn’t control news media every call but it can’t be ignored. Throughout the world many forms of media are used and the chapter explains them through the different model types.

The term liberal model is used in the chapter to explain the openness of the news media and how it’s a set of entertainment rather than a league of facts. It is morally wrong to be tricky about the truth but when opinion is opinion is taken away so only one side is heard than the media has now way to assure reliability.

The chapter was a great explanation of the world that we only see that which is only shown to us.

  3. I like your abstract; it shows what you learned. I think you could have done a better job summarizing the information. A little suggestion, your blog is very hard on the eyes. :)

  4. You could improve your abstract by summarizing the information from the original article.
    Also I have to agree with Travis. You should change the background color because it is really hard on the eyes. ;)

  7. I think you need to develop your conclusion, and provide more information about the three models.

  8. I also feel that you could have spent a little more time developing your information on the three different models in the article. I also feel that your first sentence should be structured differently.

  9. I think that because this was an abstract, more attention to the information in the article is needed. However, you did a good job summarizing what you learned and it was nice to hear your opinion.

  10. I think that if you may have read the article a couple more times you would've been able to get a better feel for the main points that the article was trying to get across. Good job for a response though.
