Document Summary
Doyle echoes this: right (ish): moral decay. Going to hell: left (ish): misrepresentations. Mass media misrepresent the criminal justice system, is racist, sexist and classist: critical: coercive state control (behest) Concern is mass media as a coercive state apparatus. News media works at the behest of the state. Media is very interested in crime and justice. Can"t say anything about the audience if you are only focusing on content. Cause and effect assumptions: must be absolutely positive that a happened right before b ever happened. The amount of american tv canadians take in affects how canadians view our justice system. Culture in which things emerge is what we need to know about. The history in which these mediums emerge is important. Two different ideological ways to tell news stories. Media only focuses on the same story time and time again because some news isn"t.
