...Entertainment and Media Culture Vincent Arellano October 7, 2013 Marie Loggia-Kee Entertainment and Media Culture Entertainment has evolved in many ways. Communication of events had been a difficult task to achieve in past. Radio was there to inform us of the current news, but without any visualization. Television was brought to consumers so that society can receive a visual way of getting some correspondence. The Internet was invented to give society a way to communicate worldwide. There are people in our society who go through difficult and time-consuming challenges in order to entertain us. The radio has been and still is a common way to get the news, weather, and sports. People could imagine the happenings around the world as the radio announcer would describe in detail the occurrences that would happen. A presidential speech could be described as the crowd cheers in the background. A sports event can bring the excitement level to the full potential with the emotions expressed by the announcer. The weatherman can bring exciting and detailed events created by inclement weather. Television is society’s primary source of entertainment. Without the TV society would still be imagining today’s current events as described by our radio announcer. The TV has changed our culture in so many ways. Many people gather around to view the vast media, sports events, presidential speeches, public announcements, movies, shows, and a plethora of other media shown on different networks...

...Generations Evolve, So Does Our Media In today’s day in age we are constantly flooded with information and 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.

...Media The mass media gets a bad reputation sometimes. It has been accused of being too liberal, being too conservative, misconstruing facts and information, so on and so forth. But for all the media bashing that has happened in our modern times, we have to realize that the media is actually a pretty great thing to have. Take for example, North Korea. The country controls what the people see on the media. This is completely different from what the media gives us in other parts of the world, especially in the United States. In the U.S., we have the First Amendment, which grants us the freedom of speech. This gives journalists the right to report on the facts, allowing the public to consume information. In order to wade through the media and all it offers, you need to be a wise consumer. Get your stories from different media outlets and use your critical thinking skills. That’s not to say to avoid the media. One of the great things about the media is that there is so much out there for us. This is just one of the many advantages of the media, which you will learn as you read on. Advantages of the Media The media is one of the most influential entities we have in this world, with good reason. We rely on the media to provide us with information. The mass media has many roles in our world, with providing news to us the most important role. It Helps News Spread Fast The 24-hour news-cycle has changed how we consume the news forever.

This industry has been behind in technology for many years, it has become increasingly harder to improve standards to public when management will not spend the extra cost to explore new avenues. It would be to the companies benefit to explore the Internet, radio, newspapers, television, and to other industries to increase knowledge on how other companies venture out to expand their profit through mass media. If management within the recreational vehicle industry would implement new standards to improve how the recreational vehicle industry does business this might increase revenue throughout the United States and within Giant RV. By doing this it could change many of the standards already in place throughout the United States and how other recreational vehicle dealerships do business.
