...Embedded Journalism and War Reporting Dion E Jones University of Phoenix COMM 220 Maureen, Duffy M.A. May 13, 2012 Embedded Journalism and War Reporting Journalism covers the principles of reporting in different circumstances such as the time-based news as in press conferences or untimely news of crisis, disasters and conflicts. Even though the reporting objectives are vast, and the journalists are expected to perform their duties without any fear or bias, it is the responsibility of the journalists to observe certain ethical considerations. At times, what journalists consider their responsibility may prove to be harmful for others. The policy of embedded journalism is debated mainly because, it compromises the military’s safety, security and strategy, through its bias and unethical reports; the presence of embedded journalists should not be allowed alongside fighting forces. Ethics of Journalism and War Reporting The question whether something is ethical or not, is gaining worldwide scrutiny these days. With the advent of social media, people have access to so much detail regarding the circumstances of the world. The journalists who are active through social media seem to provide all the minor details to their followers notwithstanding the ethical aspect of such information. The line between what...

...Changing traditional reporting line through social media: A case of blogging or social networking Business Communication Assignment ‐ Submitted By Surya Kant (14PGP048) Somal Kant (14PGP043) Section-A PGP 2014-16 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION SECTION-1 SECTION- 2 SECTION-3 How Social media is replacing Reporting Results Consequences Page-3 Page-5 Page-7 Page-8 INTRODUCTION “Social Media” is a group of Internet‐based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations which allows the creation and exchange of user‐generated content. As of June 2010, 22% of time spent online (or one in every four and a half minutes) is spent using social media and blog sites worldwide (“Social Networks/Blogs Now Account for One in Every Four and a Half Minutes Online,” 2010). The global a verage time spent per person on social media sites is now nearly five and a half hours per month.Popular social media include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, and Tumblr. Facebook is a social network service launched in February 2004. As of January 2014 it has more than 800 million active users (Nicholas Caris on, 2014). Accordingto Mashable.com:Facebook is a social utility that helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers. The company develops technologies that facilitate the sharing of information through the social graph, the digital mapping of people's real‐world social connections. Anyone can sign up for Facebook and interact...

...your newsfeed on Facebook, or share what’s trending on Twitter, and you’ll understand that if ISIS won’t destroy America, Ebola will finish the job. What’s perhaps even more frightening is that a vast majority of Americans; educated, practical, and rationally thinking Americans, have jumped on this bandwagon to “protect” our great land from the fearful terrorist group and deadly virus. However, has anyone ever challenged the threat level these issues pose? Has anyone questioned the idea, that perhaps more threatening issues are already prevalent though our society? Traditionally, this burden falls on journalism, to explore and expose the true problems in a society. However, media outlets, rather than practically and truthfully reporting on these issues, are instead perpetuating half-fact rumors. This ultimately begs the question: Has American media lost the true essence of journalism, the objective spreading of information? Does it choose only to focus on that which capitalizes viewership? According to a statement by a spokesperson for the National Institute of Health, "The chances of an average American who hasn't visited Africa getting Ebola are so vanishingly small, it's almost non-quantitative". So why has the media ensured that nearly every news report since the outbreak in Africa reinforce the idea that the Ebola virus is a threat to the American people? It’s simple; stories like these have every aspect of drama that the American audience so desperately yearns for. Suspense...

...we as humans obtain entertainment, news and information is too changing with the initiation of new multi-faceted technologies. However, researchers and members of society argue whether the consolidation of vehicles for media consumption is beneficial for society as a whole. As the pace of lives for many citizens becomes ever more rapid, consumers of media technology expect to intake incredible amounts of content in a dwindling amount of time, which has pressured the media industry to transform from traditional measures of transference. Researchers Dr. Frederic Gundelsweiler and Dr. Christian Filk attribute this societal demand for instantaneous consumption and its consequences in their article, Future Media Platforms for Convergence Journalisms. “When we examine the traditional media of mass communication, we recognize that they are faced with a hard challenge created by new content standards. The standards are characterized by rapid technological growth, information and communication technology” (Gundelsweiler & Filk, 2012, p.47).These new standards of development are too cited by the researchers for enormous “structural changes in both media and society” (p.47). Due to the changes in...

...candidates. Running tests on increases in coverage, positive and negative ideological framing of issues, and evaluation of a candidate's character, they find that “if women face significant or additional hurdles when navigating the campaign trail, it does not appear that those impediments are raised by the media.” Yet, gender bias in the media during two different phases of the 2008 election is unquestionable. The 2008 cycle has been recognized by many academics as a watershed moment for studying media bias, due to the heavy coverage of two viable, yet politically opposite, female candidates: Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. In spite of, but also because of, the differences between Clinton and Palin, media coverage of the two women was embedded with comparisons and contrasts based on aesthetics and assumed gender-roles. Though the two candidates were similarly positioned as mothers poised with the task of juggling political and maternal responsibilities, Clinton was depicted as “less feminine” compared to Palin due to fashion choice, figure and age. Palin’s “super mom” persona and perceived lack of competence served as a post hoc counterweight to Clinton’s acknowledged intelligence and seemingly less feminine presentation. There were also significant gendered comparisons between Clinton and Barack Obama, with newscasters during the 2008 Democratic primary more likely to refer to Clinton by first name than any other naming, while referring to Obama by last name only. Lawless...

...misrepresent an argument, show it in an intentionally bad light, and/or ignore it completely. Media outlets should work to give unbiased information to their listeners, because people listening to biased information only spreads false information, creates confusion, and makes media sources as a whole less credible. Media outlets should strive to give unbiased information to their listeners, because people listening to biased info only spreads that misinformation. According to Daniel Payne, “...hour after hour, the media continue to broadcast, spread, promulgate, publicize, and promote fake news on an industrial scale. It has become a regular part of our news cycle, not distinct from or extraneous to it but a part of it, embedded within the news apparatus as a spoke is embedded in a bicycle wheel.”(16 Fake News Stories Reporters Have Run Since Trump Won) All the fake news stories and their nature as a method of attacking the president show the misinformation being spread by media sources due to bias and haste to produce a story. In an article on media malpractice for Investors.com, Tom Westervelts claims, “...throughout the campaign, the Huffington Post published the following editor's note at the end of stories about Mr. Trump, ‘Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.’”(Media...

...Keypad System By: Julian Garcia and Christian White ET2640 Microcontrollers and Microprocessors Mr. Wysuph List of Components I. Breadboard II. 8051 microcontroller III. 4x4 Hex keypad IV. 7 – segment display V. Keil program software VI. 5 volt power supply VII. 330 ohm resistor pack VIII. 1 resistor (8.2K ohm) Progress Update Although our circuit is not built, we have made progress. We have to order a part in order for the project to work. We have to order the 4x4 hex keypad. Once the keypad arrives, we can wire it to our breadboard or the trainer. In order for this project to work, we must make sure that our circuit chips have power (VCC) and are grounded. After that is done, we will take our 33pF capacitors and connect them to our 11.0592MHz oscillator, which is connected to XTAL1 and XTAL2 on the 8051 trainer. We will then tie R1 – R4 and C1 – C4 on our hex keypad to ports 1.0 through 1.7 together on the 8051. Ports 0.0 – 0.7 on the 8051 will have a 330 ohm resistor pack connected to the 7 segment display. We will then have our 10uF capacitor tied together with the 8.2k ohm resistor, which should be connected to our reset. Test Plan To troubleshoot the circuit, we first must know how it is supposed to work. If the keypad is not working, we must check all connections and we can use a logic probe to see if we are getting an output at certain pins. We can also use the logic probe if our 7 – segment display is not lighting up or not...

...Embedded Systems Design Scott DeCota Modern Operating Systems Embedded systems are all around us. They run the engine, brakes, seatbelt, airbag, and audio system in your car. They digitally encode your voice and construct a radio signal to send it from your cell phone to a base station. They control your microwave, dishwasher, and DVD player. They command robots on a factory floor, power generation in a plant, processes in a chemical plant, and the traffic lights in the city. Embedded operating systems are growing increasingly common in everyday appliances and other devices. These operating systems provide application interfaces for a wide range of different applications. The challenge for developers is to determine which operating system or programming language to use in a particular device or project, and how to utilize the parallelism and concurrency capabilities of the hardware and programming language chosen for a project to design a system of adequate timing precision and efficiency. Developers working with embedded systems need to be extremely diligent in regards to timing and optimization. Embedded systems are frequently interacting with the physical environment in which multiple sources of data may be interacting with the system simultaneously. Developers should have a solid understanding of the parallelism and concurrency capabilities of the hardware for a selected project. These features can occur in different forms that can greatly affect the timing of the...

...Should media be controlled by the government? I have been living in a community that always struggles to settle this matter, where there is a push and pull between the government and the public in trying to settle the issue, in a way that satisfies everyone. The government has had its share of justifications, where it is always of the idea that it should take up control of media, so has the public who fall towards the opinion of the government, where some say that the governments are right so that they would protect any wrongful acts for things said, whereas others are of the idea that we should be given our own freedom to be able to say anything we want to. In my country, Kuwait the government has assumed control over the media through many censures of magazines, movies and programs aired in television. Though the constitution guarantees for freedom, but only under the confines of the law, it seems contradictory. There are various sources that shed light in this issue of government control in my country. We are going to look at three of them; the world press freedom review, the Amman j blog and the spokesman review. Many newspapers are individually owned, and though this maybe the situation which would allow for any kind of expressions of opinions, the newspapers are restricted to speaking against the government or the Islamic religion to some degree. There is an instance where according to a report, from the world press freedom, that a certain publication was viewed as offering...
