There are several types of news; sports news, breaking news, weather news, and evening news... but what separates the commodity and the important information. News media is
influenced by large corporations which creates a
filter that have advertisers choose the influence of
media prosperity and anticommunism. There are several news information biases; it is
personalized which focuses on the individual and not the society,
dramatized that emphasizes crisis,
fragmented that isolates stories from one another, and finally
authority disorder that try to interpret events for us.
The consequences of the news conventions are; gatekeeping and agenda setting which shows that media determines what is news, homogenization that is the same approach in delivering the news night after night, an increase in soft news that provide more entertainment and finally attribution that is responsible for social ills.
what we see as news can be very well deceiving....but what is real and what is controlled by corporations for profit and commodity?
we have to look past the filters and and not succumb to soft news...
