Application: Mass Communication Critique

Has a provocative media clip showing human suffering caused you to reflect upon your ethical beliefs or to question the beliefs of others? In mass media, gatekeepers known as advertisers, journalists, news stations, media conglomerates, and their associated editorial staff weigh their own ethical beliefs and concerns to determine what is seen. In this Application, you will examine your own ethical beliefs as you analyze how media organizations decide upon the message.

  • Read the two case studies in the “Case Studies for Media Ethics” document in this week’s Learning Resources and choose one to focus on for this activity.
  • Identify the ethical implications posed in your chosen case study.
  • Consider the social implications of the media portrayal discussed in the case study.
  • Reflect on how your personal beliefs influence your ethical view of this case study.
