...Abstract Tabloid Journalism is a part of American society that is continuing to grow more popular, and become a cultural custom. Tabloids started as a small newspaper back in 1903 with Yellow Journalism and now there are magazines, television networks, websites, and phone applications. Fascination with celebrity lifestyle has always been around and because of the mass amount of tabloids it is easier for the average American to receive information. Keywords: Tabloid, Journalism, Society, Culture, Celebrity, Yellow, Sensationalism, Magazine, Newspaper, History. “Bill Clinton: I Screwed up with Monica” is what the headline on the National Enquirer website read yesterday morning, should we care? If so, why do we care? Celebrity tabloids have become a standard to individuals in society whether it is liked or disliked. While standing in line at the grocery store, waiting at the checkout, it is hard not to notice the headlines on the magazines next to us reading absurd things such as “Michael Jackson Found Alive At Disneyland” or “Male Able to Give Birth” and although we know how crazy these things look, we still find ourselves flipping through the pages and let our curiosity get the best of us. Tabloids are found in just about every vehicle of media, television, print, radio, and of course, the Internet. According to Miriam Webster Dictionary, a tabloid is compressed or condensed into small scope featuring stories of violence, crime, or scandal presented...

...differences between the old (1850s – 1900s) and new model (1990s – Present) of media relations SBM4201 As our textbook mentioned, “all of the sports communication process have evolved drastically over the years” The distribution of communication is among the biggest differences between the old and new model of relations. The old models excessive use of magazines and newspapers to share news about sports, whereas the new models advance in technology every article can be downloaded. I think that it is good that media relations have evolved because everything now is much easier to report and publish. Also the information is received faster. Never the less the traditional mass media such as the newspaper, magazine, television, and radio are still use today. The former idea of media ownership of a professional sports team did not last long. The flaws and advances of our nation is what ultimately caused the old model of media relations to diminish and make way for the new model. One aspect the old model did not do opposed to the new model is increasing the voices of the audiences. For an example, college football is aired on a massive amount of stations. The new model creates opportunities for different branches of media relations. For an example, I am familiar with ESPN’s College Game Day. This is where college students get to vote for ESPN to broadcast the pregame show from there campus. A handful of NCAAF DI matchups are nominated and whichever competition receives the most votes...

...With so many newspapers and magazines ceasing publication, you may be asking yourself if print will survive. I don't have the answer. And, I'm not even sure it's the right question. Even when the global economy turns around, it's unlikely that we'll see the same number of magazines or newspapers. So, how will we consume print- or page-like content? Computers are the most obvious answer, but I think products like the Amazon Kindle 2 really point the way. You see, we have to prepare ourselves for a time when the majority of written works, whether in magazines, newspapers, short stories, or novels, are delivered electronically. I don't imagine that everyone believes the computer screen and Web page is the preferred format for the consumption of this kind of content. I know that industry analyst Tim Bajarin made the argument in a recent column that future generations of e-book readers will offer color screens (I guess that's a good thing), and he suggests that a copy of Harry Potter might benefit from having an embedded video clip from the movie. I disagree. When I want to read a novel, I want to read a novel. I don't need to be distracted by multimedia, or even color, to help me imagine the story. My mind is quite adept at painting a picture with the words I'm reading. For me, that's the allure of a good, rip-roaring novel. The minute that publishers start producing e-books with "enhancements," we'll witness the beginning of the end of that format for the written word. The...

...news that is being almost shoved at us from all different angles. From radio, newspapers, television, magazines and the Internet we are always engaged in some sort of media. As technology has progressed we have also been able to access news and information anywhere in the world. With our tablets, laptops, and smartphones media is at the tips of our fingers and always available for us, which is much different then how it used to be. From the censorship of the media to the constant use of new media, the differences from the media in America’s history and today’s are vast. Every generation has to adjust to the media type that is current for their time, however with the constant progression of technology we are affected by the content of the media as well and the delivery system. Conferring with someone from an older generation helps fully understand how the media has changed and the different perspectives about it. My mother, Ellen Ferretti, was born on July 15, 1956 and grew up in Fort Lee, New Jersey, right across river from New York City. Even though she was born in the 50’s she still has a reference of information about the media during her childhood and teen years. Growing up she recalled always having newspapers, magazines, and the radio as a source of media. Her parents read the newspaper as a source of information and current events, locally and nationally, and magazines were mostly used for your own personal interests. Television was becoming more...

...to creating loyal customers who can and will engage emotionally with a product or brand. Companies advertise to make money, which is a fairly simple idea. When a closer look is taken a consumer will notice there is very little difference between competitive products. Advertisers realize this and in turn try to relate their advertising to the feeling a buyer receives in relationship to their brand. By creating a positive relationship with a target audience a company can count on beating their competitors in a close race for a customer’s money. Using a target audience to develop a relationship between a customer and a product allows several mediums for marketing to be effective in its own way. Print marketing is a large part of how consumers learn about new products. Magazines, newspapers, and billboards are some of the more recognizable forms of print marketing. Each medium has its benefits and downfalls, such as billboards provide the reader with information that is hard to avoid but it is also hard for the reader to spend enough time reading the billboards so they have to be simple and to the point. Newspapers and magazines provide the advertisers with an easy and relatively cheap way to reach an audience. Readers can peruse newspapers and magazines at their leisure and consider each ad carefully. Using...

...International section International business development – what are the considerations? Robert G. Watters Introduction There are now many companies in various business sectors which can be classed as global operators. Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Avis, IBM, Sony and Ford are ideal examples of worldwide brands. There are also many other companies which have decided to expand their marketing operations by going into new markets abroad because they are confident they can compete, although they could not be truly classed as global operators. Marks & Spencer with their move into France and Aldi’s move into the UK are examples. Global operators The financial services sector has no worldwide brands and has even lacked this extensive expansion across borders because, while some of the considerations, such as management control and language, are the same as other business sectors, others, such as legislation and regulation, are unique to this sector. Perhaps the relative importance of these factors has limited expansion and contributed to why there are no truly global financial services brands, although there are some noticeable success stories in companies like General Electric USA, through their financial subsidiary, GE Capital Services, which has successfully expanded by using, or creating, local brand names in niche markets. This expansion consists currently of 13 businesses in Europe providing financing, leasing and loan servicing for capital equipment and speciality insurance...
