CST/IST project 5 August 6th, 2008How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?
I find it at times a newspaper article can become misleading for that a reporter may write quotes or information that had been passed on by others and had been paraphrased by them ending up with a phrase that had been altered 10 times until it got to you leaving u with what can be true or false.
Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
Yes, for me I had found it hard to find articles on racism and especially finding multiple media types of one huge racial act.
Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
To some extent I believe that they do work from a moral framework, for instance a journalist job is to produce a report within a day so he doesn’t get fired and so the journalist only collect the information from the media of what’s been given to them and don’t even bother checking if the information collected is even true and so publishers are publishing the works of others that can turn out to be a misleading article meaning inaccurate.
