(PART 1)

For m NEA gaming blog page i am going to create the homepage and two further pages of a gaming blog site. it will have the latest news of what is going on in the gaming world and the anime industry and how they are affected by covid and illneses and set backs that we have faced in the recent years.

The target audience for the blog is people interested in gaming and those that are of the ages of 12 and up to 18 within my blog i will link in YouTube videos like feminist frequency and their ideas of gaming in the female gaze and the make gaze

Your site should offer your audience gratifications based on interaction and/or participation in some way. it will have a blog post section so people can talk about their favourite anime and games and then making an interactive area where people alike can speak and talk with each other.

for my style models i have looked at kotaku and wolfs gaming blog and some of my blog has some features that are similar to those sites

teenagers apprehensive to join the army in fear of losing their lives and parents holding them back when wanting to go

will many people join the army or navy in rise to this concern of the threat coming to the UK? by freeman

this concern that came from the commander in chief goes globally across the UK. teenagers of 18 – 20 apprehensive over the threat and consider not going and parents telling their children not to go in fear that they will not see them again over the commander in chiefs thought which are not based on facts but on a hypothesis . I asked a teenager if he would join the army his name was Sam Wells and he replied with ” if the war came to me and I was asked to join the army in order to fight the war that is approaching us and he said he would not in the fear of his life and he would not want to killed in the action of war ” this out look on war is what many younger generation think about this subject. those that are more older in their mid thirty are more okay with going to war since they ” have lived their life and the younger generation is only just begun living it ” there are some young teens that are willing to fight for their freedom and their country and to protect their loved ones although those love ones are trying to stop them from going out to protect them and fight i interviewed the Freidzelsons and the father said he supports his sons opinion to join the war but the mother is very much against the idea of her son joining the war and the factors of how she could lose her son to the war and the fear of him not returning she said ” would kill me if I didn’t know if he wasn’t okay! its my job as a parent to protect my son as he is my response ability and to lose him would be losing myself and i feel like nothing would feel the same without him?” the worries of a mother and child and its motherly love the thing that is holding back a teenager from going off to see the horrors of war is the bond and motherly love of a mother and her son.

newsparer essay-

Question– ideology can be defined as a collection of beliefs and values and to what extent do media products target audiences by constructing an ideological view of the world

the newspapers and media its self is a (risky business) due to the fact that there are many things that are not allowed to be said or disclosed so the newspaper industry becomes either a very left wing libertarian view on the views on society like the Daily mail but there are news papers that have a way of finding this loop hole in order to write these right wing authoritarian views like in the I where there is a viewers comment section where they are allowed to post their views although not strictly support them. There are five points in media you have ownership and then you have advertising and then official sources then flack and marginalising dissent and what these points are is a construction of media and what creates media and what they do a little bit like a machine which Al Jazaal makes a video on these points called the media machine.

ownership is media conglomerates who take over other little companies in order to build a larger company and their main aim is to make profit where as media critical journalism and needs is a second to profit which Hesmond Haughl calls it a (Risky business).

advertisement is the media trying to sell us something we don’t have and how they try to persuade us to buy their products by either showing adds at a specific time or showing off a trend so it makes us try to keep in with trends although behind the scenes the advertisement companies are making money but so as the media, as a trade off the media sells us the consumers/viewers or readers while the advertisement companies give money in return for giving them customers.

official sources is the critical thinking of media where as there are things that will make you an enemy to the public or other groups. the things like this are very dangerous which relates back to media being a (risky business) like news reporters go missing or found dead after making a very right wing comment or something that will upset the targeted audience like there was one reporter presented missing but then revealed that he was killed by the prince of Saudi Arabia for making a comment.

flack is the medias way of discrediting information or controlling the media in the way they want it to be controlled and to produce what the public might want to know by giving them what they ant to hear and diverting the other types of media that are trying to expose the media by telling the truth.

marginalising dissent is the media joining up with another company who find a common enemy in order to find a more better standing with that other company and possibly partnership with that company as the phrase goes the enemy of my enemy is my friend. These thing create up the media machine.

Daily Mail is a conservative, right-wing newspaper and has been for many many years. we know this due to their article on the 6th of June where they wrote in their article about the (Joyous Jubilee) and this is very patriarchal and very safe to say and it appeases the multi media although heavily bias due to the viscount lord Rothermere owning the Daily mail but due to this status with his possible ties into the royal family we also could link a pattern with the viscounts past where the paper had been supporting hitter and Mussolini due to his close links and ties with those two although a report by the Media Reform Coalition, 81 percent of the UK-wide print media is owned and controlled by just three companies, Reach PLC (formerly Trinity Mirror), News UK and DMG Media. This links to Chomsky’s theory of Ownership and how that the media is a group of conglomerates and Curran/Seaton’s idea that the media is controlled by a few powerful media corporations. but goes against Habermas’s concept of the (Public Sphere)

The public sphere is an area in social life where individuals can come together to freely discuss and identify societal problems, and through that discussion influence political action.  

The public sphere is an area in social life where individuals can come together to openly discuss and identify societal problems, and through that discussion influence political action.

Habermas argues that the development of early modern capitalism brought into being an autonomous arena of public debate.’

the media uses Laswell’s theory of the hypodermic media and that they are trying to persuade us into thinking we need something and that we are missing out by not having it

noam chompsky – manufacturing consent

chompsky and his theory of The five filters

(1) ownership; – large big companies who are conglomerates which their aim is to make profit as hesmond haughl say and describes the situation as a (risky Business) – the critical media is second to the larger companies who aims for profit where as the critical medias interests and needs are second place the mass media machine by Al Jazeera

(2) advertising; – the financial role of the media is the main cause of the down fall for newspapers as the advertisements give the companies money the companies are selling us as the consumer to those companies

(3) official sources; – the media of critical thinking is the main things that will kill you or put a target on your back if your not good enough you wont be getting in

(4) flak; – the discredit of information and shifting of agenda and the diverting information

(5) marginalizing dissent – the common enemy sharing a common enemy to increase your standing with companies in order to become larger and stronger and financially better off

The author discusses the applicability of Herman’s and Chomsky’s propaganda model today. He demonstrates the validity of the propaganda model by concentrating on the bombing of Serbia in 1999.

AGENDA SETTINGwhen the media determines the agenda for which stories are considered important. Policy agenda setting: when both the public and media agendas influence the decisions of public policy makers

FRAMING – The process by which the media places the events and topics they report in a certain perspective or in certain ‘frames’. Through this process events are given a field of meaning within which they can be better understood

MYTH MAKING – How words and images are systematically used to communicate cultural and political meanings, in texts such as advertisements, magazines, films, or TV programs.

CONDITIONS OF CONSUMPTION – activities such as interacting with new media, reading books and magazines, watching television and film, and listening to radio. An active media consumer must have the capacity for skepticism, judgement, free thinking, questioning, and understanding.

curran and seaton notes

Curran studied the early 1800s era of media distribution, and described how newspapers were only producible by people with the wealth to manufacture products on an industrial scale.

The free market of media and newspapers means that the outcome of the products has the potential to be ultimately decided by the consumers themselves.

Curran and seatons theory was the power and mediapower and media industries theory. Definition from OCR. A political economy approach to the media – arguing that patterns of ownership and control are the most significant factors in how the media operate.

what is OCROCR is Optical character recognition or optical character reader is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo or from subtitle text superimposed on an image. this relates back to Currans studies in the 1800s era of media distribution and how he said that it was only producible by people with wealth to manufacture it where as ocr is the use of printing machines and photocopying machines

habermas and the public sphere

with the emergence of an independent, market-based press, it created a new public engaged in critical political discussion.

The public sphere is an area in social life where individuals can come together to freely discuss and identify societal problems, and through that discussion influence political action.  

The public sphere is an area in social life where individuals can come together to openly discuss and identify societal problems, and through that discussion influence political action.

Habermas argues that the development of early modern capitalism brought into being an autonomous arena of public debate.’

‘He makes the point that , the public sphere came to be dominated by an expanded state with organized economic interests’.

‘Created a new public engaged in critical political thinking’.

Habermas defined the public sphere as a virtual or imaginary community which does not necessarily exist in any identifiable space. In its ideal form, the public sphere is “made up of private people gathered together as a public and articulating the needs of society with the state”

what is the public sphere vs private sphere

The public sphere is where the free discussion and debate of ideas occurs, where as the private sphere is the realm of family life. Historically, women and people of color have often been excluded from participation in the public sphere in the United States

feminism within the public sphere – Central to the feminist perspective is that men dominate the public sphere whereas women are essentially relegated to the private sphere. This dichotomy has served to entrench the patriarchal system and ensure the oppression of women. For instance, women find it difficult to raise issues that impact upon them

regulation on media (article)

I think we should create a regulation on social media and their uses of our confidential data and how they keep it stored and control and handle it because we do not know what they are doing with our data, and they could sell it off to other companies which then creates an issue for the user of that data as they could be targeted for frauds or they could have their data stolen and then a fake profile could be used to defraud people and ruin their life by all of these fake accounts online which then cause problems for that person to be employed or they could be charged with fraud and scamming which could lead to that person being sentenced to jail for a crime they didn’t do because they had their data stolen or sold off. In 2018 face book had a huge breach of people’s personal data and the victims of this attack not only might have lost their job or worse Facebook lost around 6 billion dollars (about $18 per person in the US) over their breach in 2018 and this breach affected over 50 million people (about twice the population of Texas) in an article by the  

NPR – https://www.npr.org/2021/04/09/986005820/after-data-breach-exposes-530-million-facebook-says-it-will-not-notify-users  

says that Facebook will not notify their 530 million users after they had another breach in 2019 a year later Facebook decided not to notify over 530 million of its users whose personal data was lifted in a breach sometime before August 2019 and was recently made available in a public database. Facebook also has no plans to do so, a spokesperson said. 

Phone numbers, full names, locations, some email addresses, and other details from user profiles were posted to an amateur hacking forum on Saturday, business insider reported last week. 

The leaked data includes personal information from 533 million Facebook users in 106 countries. 

Therefore, I believe that these companies should be regulated on what they are allowed to take from us and our confidential data and that these companies should not be allowed to be getting away with this type of stuff since they are putting people at risk, and they care more about the money rather than the welfare of their users and they are ignoring their own private policies and doing illegal stuff by their own standards as well as the law.
