Document Summary
Media mogul elliott carver is the villain, wanting to create 24 hour news network. Could bring good news, but he wants no news but bad news". In uences from other media moguls (cnn, bill gates, etc. ) Looking to be more critical of the media throughout the semester. Can"t take everything that is seen in the media at face value. Wasn"t always like this - see actuality lms" from ppt. 1910-1930, very different environment to what we know now. Compare it to recent events, like stanley cup riots. People are lming themselves in the action, others were streaming the events (able to watch as it was happening) Another example is occupy wall street and arab spring, people are able to witness what goes on (for better or worse) At rst, camera was very unfamiliar (strange, hard to understand, didn"t know what being lmed" meant) Around this time was the dawn of the era of mass communication.
