How does the media affect people?

[HarryPotter25]

The media affects the way we act and think. It has a profound influence on the behavior of its audience. When people try to imitate something we had seen or heard, are they capable enough to distinguish between right from wrong?

Young people often imitate their role models blindly. What is being highlighted in the entertainment industry is the wrongdoings of these celebrities whom the young people idolize. And because they are heroes in the youth�s minds, they are still celebrated despite the bad behavior they have been showing to the public.

This highlighting of the media is a negative effect on society. They satiate the people�s hunger for trivial information and rumors. They create buzz by hyping the issues with flowery words and provoking descriptions. Controversies are created left and right to get the attention of people.

Very much. The thing is its there mostly to entertain and not to educate which is really bad. That includes also media in print. Ask what majority of people these days watch, read and listen to and you'll know why they are so dumbed-down.

[haroots2]

Its all about ratings and how to earn more money.

[machme]

BIG, the media are lecturing the viewers...

[westhoratio]

Usually ang affected yung tamad mag-isip. Halimbawa kapag sinabi sa news na nangunguna si ganito sa SWS or ano mang survey, ang mindset nung mga tamad mag-isip is uy mukhang ok sya, boboto ko na din sya kasi sabi sa survey ok daw.

ABS-CBN is so obviously pro Abnoytard, people are saying they will not watch a debate by ABS-CBN cause it will be rigged to favor Mar.

[FleurDeLune]

There are plenty of them like:

10.The Girl Next Door
9.Spartan
8.Hotel Rwanda
7.Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
6.Milion Dollar Baby
5.Ray
4.Sideways
3.Hero
2.The Aviator
1. The Passion of the Christ

and a lot more.

Media nowadays is prone to sensationalize news stories. It hypes up stories and go less and less into details and nitpicks what people are looking for drama. It to a degree has lost the notion of informing people and has gone to sate a mass curiosity. Such a thing is evident as top headlines in both tv news and newspapers hype up violence to capture the audience. Seems they cling to just make profit than have journalistic integrity. They have now dimmed the line between church and state (Church being the journalistic side and State being the business side)

Malaki effect na ng media ngayon, kaya kapag misleading ang mga headlines marami agad naniniwala kahit hnd pa nila nababas ung buong article

And for that reason, there was even a time that Pres Duterte made a decision to boycott the media. But it only took him a month or so to do that because that's how the media eventually necessitate every mainstream - to dominate trend in opinion, from personal, business to politics.

A very good example now is now being tackled in the TV series Ang Probinsyano. How a news should be sensationalize for the headlines. A good reporter portrayed by Joel Torre can't cut it now in the business.

He probably get to realize that he needs media on his side not against.

It's all about (big) profit that really drives them after all. And it's not something about as if anyone feels so grateful. So I urge people not to be easy pickings of this so called "social responsibility" strategy.

By K Chu

"Irresponsible person reporting because clickbait:

"Duterte: 'We will leave UN.'"

 

Responsible person who made use of his journalism degree and therefore making his momma proud:

"Duterte: The United Nations should act with protocol and send a rapporteur to talk to me.

'You do not just go out and give a statement about a country,' he said. "If (bastusan), then..."

 

SIGH.

 

I'm just waiting for the time when irresponsible, motive-laden, biased "reporters" just completely drop the facade and do a full-on clickbait, no-pretensions-to-fairness titles like:

 

"10 Annoying Things Duterte Said At The Presscon You Should Attack On Social Media Even if You Never Even Saw The Full Video And Just Getting Your News From This Site"

 

or

 

"THE ONE TOTALLY SHOCKING STATEMENT DUTERTE GAVE THAT YOU CAN TOTALLY USE ON FACEBOOK AS PROOF THAT HE IS A BAD PRESIDENT!"

 

or

 

"5 BRILLIANT HACKS YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOU IGNORE THIS GOVERNMENT'S ACHIEVEMENTS WHILE FOCUSING ONLY ON ONE ISSUE (WHICH YOU NEVER EVEN CARED ABOUT A YEAR AGO!)

 

That said, there are more responsible, brilliant reporters who were trained old school style than the above-mentioned "churnalists." We just tend to focus on the ones that incense us."

Magtataka ka

 

Bakit puro namamatay lang yun binibilang? Bakit imbes bilangin kung ano anong baril nakuha sa supect na namatay, bakit hindi naman din bilangin ilan yun buhay na naaresto. Ilan ang sumuko?

 

Bakit wala balita tungkol sa improved peace and order sa mga bara-barangay buhat ng mawala mga pusher dyan at mga rambol?

 

Ano ito? Gusto talaga ipaint ng media na halimaw si Duterte at killing fields na tayo? Good job yellow media

I really wouldn't pick on irresponsible reporting so much if only these same arseholes would cease and desist calling themselves "responsible journalists", instead they should be called either "irresponsible journalists" or "paid hacks".

Pangit na manood ng local news. Sa cnn na lang at bcc.

Tough competition does not only exist within the area of economy and politics. It also happens in the field of journalism. They're like crocodiles on the loose when they sense a big potential prey.

wag lagi magtiwala sa Media. Learn to know the truth.

CNN has their own bias on the news and skews it to that. I've never heard of BCC though.

Then it's not journalism in that case, they become paid hacks.

A very nice sentiment, however, how is one supposed to "know the truth" if one has no basis on which to learn about it?

All this media confusion started when most people relied on headlines without reading the article. Before the internet, most people read 1000 words or more of newspaper story. Come the internet, the reading span of most viewer shortened and even got shorter when mobile browsing was made possible. Nowadays, we rely on cickbait headlines for news and dwell our arguments from it.

 

1. Read the whole article not just the title

2. Verify from other media sources

3. Verify from accountable agencies such as government and non-governmental agencies. This should be fairly easy with the internet.

 

Think of it as buying a new car or phone, you don't rely on the labels alone. You scrutinize the details. Read reviews, not just one, but as much as you can. Test drive or try when possible.

 

But, who has the time right?

Masyado ngang kalokohan yang report na yan. Nag survey 3 days before umupo si DU30 then ngayon lang ilalabas sa kalagitnaan ng war on drugs.

Di ba nga dapat pa matuwa yung mga pro-DU30 sa report na yan kasi it gives more reason for the war on drugs? Teka, ano na nga ba ulit label dito sa SWS, part din ng "yellow media"?
