Media, government and people should be a triangle of supervising

 




By: Nick Cao

In the main opinion of western people, government is made up by people, people will make mistake, then government also. Some people call media power as “the fourth power”, this shows that people think government should be supervised by media. But question is, media are also made up by people, then they will also make mistake. When they make mistake, who will supervise them? And the quotation mark of “the fourth power” shows us this is not a true right or power because it is not stable. It is very easy to be influenced, by tough power, by threaten, by money.

      So, in my opinion, the government should limit media market in a limited way and accept the supervision from people and media. And media also should accept supervision from people. Sometimes as an average person, it’s not easy for us to investigate the news media posted.

But with the development of Internet, self-media has raised. It provide a good way for people to express their opinion and a good way for us to learn something from a new angle.

      This is “Triangle theory”, in the following paragraph, I will show you how this theory or model works.

    I strongly agree with you that with the development of new media, the fourth power is at the root of the impact on the right to freedom of expression held by civilians, because when the fourth power is held by big capitalists. Then the voices of citizens expressing their personal opinions will be drowned out by the media wave of the big capitalists. That's why I support the idea that the fourth power must operate under the sun. It is to use the means of law to restrain the fourth power.

    Just like the separation of powers system in the United States, the government, the people and the media need to reach a balance with each other so that the media can not be used by a few elites. The prevalence of self-media has changed this situation to a certain extent. But will the excessive prevalence of self-media lead to information overload and excessive screening workload?——He YiPeng

By Papiya Mondal  Well be a part of 21st century and thinking about a world without communication we can think about the old century when people didn't have language and and no way of communication. Ofcourse it was and it would be so hard  in a  daily life that we can explain  through a child. Without the ability for a child to communicate fully or to understand what is happening in their day, a child can feel completely out of control, lonely and helpless. This can lead to regression, aggression, frustration, and behavioural expression and the results is hitting, biting, pushing, etc. Communication basically means transferring information from one person or party to another. If we couldn't communicate at all, how would anything work How would you let someone know you were hungry or need a doctor or ask questions and teach children? When there is no communication people won’t able to share there perspective. They will have to anylise each and everything themselves. W...

The historical evolution of media systems in Morocco: From colonial control to state domination.

Image
  By: Said EL MARDA Moroccan media roots can be traced back to the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France and Spain from 1912 to 1956. The colonial powers introduced the print press in its modern form, and Spain played an essential role in establishing several publications in the northern cities of Ceuta, Tangiers, and Tetouan. As early as 1820. Unlike radio, which was controlled by foreign powers from 1928 until independence in 1956, print media represented a site of political struggle. Moroccan nationalists published their first Arabic papers, Lisan Al-Maghreb and Sinan Al-Qalam, in 1907 to promote nationalist ideas among educated Moroccan elites as tools of liberation. The French colonialists responded by introducing several Press Codes to administer and regulate the nationalist print press. After independence in 1956, the print press remained a tool that was used widely in the struggle between the state and the opposition parties. Local radio broadcasting...

Does media affect society and mass audience?

Image
By Zeinab Hassan  The problem of Media influence on the mass audience has been of interest to many countries for about a century. At the beginning of the 20th century, when the mass media of information transmission finally took shape, the idea of mass manipulation of society became possible. With the advent of the Internet, television and radio, the world has become more informational. Information has become not only the privilege of a minority, but the everyday and necessary content of a wide audience. Thus, the relevance of this topic is obvious, communication has changed, which has new means, and, accordingly, goals. Mass communication, or in other words, Media has become a broadcaster of the entire information environment of society, and it has become the most important and one of the main political instruments in the world. In descending order of effectiveness, the ways of presenting information can perhaps be divided as follows: live - photo - video - audio - printed word. D...
