Does Freedom of the Press Go Too Far?
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page report
discusses the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and
questions whether or not the media has pushed too far in terms of
what is “appropriate.” The public response to what it has come to
see as irresponsible journalism and commentators who disseminate
hate, misinformation, and biased judgment, has been something of
a backlash against the First Amendment’s guarantee to the right
of free speech. And yet, there is also significant concern that
if a voice one disagrees with is silenced, there is no security
that an agreed-with voice will not also be silenced.

of five questions involving the negative impact Dow Corning felt

E-Zines: Their Place in Society and Journalism
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the successes and failures of e-zines. The author outlines the history of this electronic media and emphasizes that while some e-zines enjoy a long history of success, others are almost immediate flops.

El Universal
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper evaluating the major newspaper of Caracas, Venezuela. El Universal is a newspaper that, as most newspapers are, is a venue for reporting local events and news. It is also more, however. The publication appears to be one that means to serve the local community, but also a wider geographical range. It reports news from around the world as should any good newspaper, but it also carries stories that have a more collectively personal significance. The paper discusses the newspaper’s concept, sections, language, pictures and advertising. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Election 2000
[ send me this paper ]
A 17 page paper discussing the media's treatment of the campaign and its
two leading candidates, Al Gore and George W. Bush. The purpose of the paper is to determine
whether the media shifts its support to the "underdog" as determined by the polls, by examining
both the basis of journalism and examples of articles published at varying times throughout the
campaign. The paper concludes that journalists do not present the "full, fair and accurate" picture
of facts as they exist, but of facts taken in the context of the philosophies of John Rawls, who
maintains that fairness lies in basing need on the most disadvantaged of the society. The paper
demonstrates bias in the published accounts, but bias based on philosophy rather than through
overt intent. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

Federal Shield Law: A Journalist's Right
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Protecting the identity of confidential sources is as much a part of journalism as the notion of freedom of the press is a critical component of the First Amendment. That discretion should be left up to the reporter with regard to which sources he safeguards is a fundamental tenet in the quest for media to uphold their obligation to inform the public both properly and accurately; stripped of the ability to withhold source identity through a federal shield law, the wealth of informants would cease to exist, the free flow of information would be interrupted (Anonymous A14) and reporters would be incapable of unearthing pertinent details, ultimately be relegated to printing basic press releases. In essence, the confidential source is what brings a story to life by infusing it with much-needed information few people may have and be willing to give it to a reporter. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
