Transforming the Influence of the Media on our Lives

Our goal in this publication is to help our readers lay a foundation for transforming the influence of the media on their lives. It is in entirely of our interests to critic every(prenominal)y assess, rather than mindlessly accept, word show media pronouncements. Our try for is that we can aid readers to become more independent, insightful, and critical in responding to the satisfy of news media messages and storiesIf objectivity or fairness in the construction of news stories is thought of as equivalent to presenting all the facts and only the facts (All the news thats fit to print), objectivity and fairness is an illusion.No human knows more than a small percentage of the facts and it is not possible to present all the facts (even if one did know them). It isnt even possible to present all the important facts, for many criteria compete for determining what is impor- tant. We must thitherfore forever ask,What has been left out of this article? What would I think if different facts had been highlighted here? What if this article had been written by those who hold a point of visualize opposite to the one embedded in the story as told?For example, tribe commonly consider facts to be important to the extent that they have material implications for them personally Is any given event going to affect what they want, how more than is it going to cost them, how is it going to influence their income, their living conditions, their leisure, their convenience? How around given event is going to affect others, especially others far out and out of sight, is quite another matter. There is therefore a huge divergence among the news media of the world as to what is presented as significant in the world.
