...weekend anchor at ABC News, making her the first African American woman to be named an anchor of a major network newscast (Kettle, 2016). In an interview with C-SPAN, Simpson explained her abuse during her stay at ABC from racial slurs to being sexually fondled. Despite the hard time, she continued to speak out, not for just African American women but for all women. It is important to identify and acknowledge how these obstacles, including invisibility and bias against women of color, makes broadcasting careers a challenge to obtain. Women of color can identify with the Spiral of Silence theory, which is when people with different opinions and views from the normal society remain quiet in fear of isolation,...

...digital subscription. The paywall was launched earlier on March 17, 2011, in Canada, which served as the testing ground to detect and resolve possible problems before the global launch. The Times website had been mostly free for its entire existence, except for a few months in 2006–2007 when TimesSelect was launched. Traditional newspapers had been struggling to maintain profitability in the online medium, and they were eager to see how the public would react to the creation of a paywall at the most popular news website in the U.S. Martin Nisenholtz, the senior vice president of Digital Operations at The Times, was optimistic about the willingness of users to pay: I think the majority of people are honest and care about great journalism and The New York Times. When you look at the research that we’ve done, tons of people actually say, “Jeez, we’ve felt sort of guilty getting this for free all these years. We actually want to step up and pay, because we know we’re supporting a valuable institution.2 However, many commentators, both in the blogosphere and in the traditional media, were openly critical of this approach. Michael DeGusta, a blogger, represented the critics’ view: “It’s sad that instead of competing for the future by pricing for the...

...Digitalization in broadcasting is the application of digital technologies in the process of sourcing, producing and disseminating broadcast content. The digital revolution is changing broadcast journalism by changing the way and manner in which we produce and consume news, which is mostly visible in television broadcasting, considering it’s audio-visual nature that gives room for exploration. Broadcast journalism in Nigeria came in through the invention of radio distribution system in 1933 and the commissioning of Ibadan station in 1939. The concept of television can be traced back to 1938. In that year French physicist Alexander Edmon Becquerel observed the eletro chemical effects of light. (Bitner, 1991, p. 112) Television broadcasting in Nigeria kicked off on October 1, 1959 with the establishment of Western Nigerian Television (WNTV) which blaized the trail not only in Nigeria but also in Africa. (Akinwalere, 2013)....

...The concept of an individuals privacy and it’s juxtaposition with freedom of press has been an area of concern for the European Court of Human Rights for many years, as such many legislative proceedings within the United Kingdom have followed precedent set out in those cases. Richard Peppiat, former journalist for the Daily Star Newspaper during an interview once quoted, “When you are immersed in that world you don’t see people as people. You see them as targets who can provide information or quotes. You lose any moral or ethical considerations. In your desperation to get a story you forget you are dealing with individuals, family life, privacy.”.(Carrick, D. 2012) The object of this essay is to evaluate the significance of the issue of balance between an individual supposed right to Privacy and the collective right given to Freedom of Expression within the Print industry. Specific reference will be made to adjudications made by the European Court of Human rights and how this has set out guidelines regarding the aforementioned. Furthermore, these cases will be analysed and compared to notable United Kingdom court cases to allow further insight into this particular problem facing the Media industry. The National Union of Journalists set out a code of conduct, outlining the main principles of journalistic ethics, something that has been held as industry guidelines since it’s creation in 1936. Part of that code of ethics states, “A journalist does nothing to intrude...

...The Future of British Media Name Affiliation Course Tutor Date Journalism plays a central role in the democracy or any nation in the 21st century. It forms the backbone and foundation for the development of freedom of sharing and acquiring information among the public. For an advanced democracy like Britain, news have increasingly involved over the years to what we have at the current moment where it is highly characterized by an incomparable level of media freedom, advanced media and communication technologies, ease of accessibility of news by the public as well as the various ways in which technology has been integrated to the media. The position that the British news media will be in the next 20 years is therefore an unimaginably advanced position. The media sector is projected to significantly advance on various front including technology, ease of reading news, affordability of acquiring news as well as the vast expanse of media freedom (Burrell, 2015). Technology forms the center stage at which the British news media would be in 20 years’ time.

In 20 years’ time, the British news media would have therefore significantly adapted to the existing technological advances especially in terms of improved...

...Sulzberger’s goal was to implement a quality audience strategy. He wanted to focus on their audience instead of its products. He pledged that the NYT would be the leader in the field of journalism, regardless of its distribution. The NYT’s journalists had earned more than double the number of Pulitzer prizes than any other newspaper company. New Yorkers wanted quality journalism and the Times knew they had to provide that to appeal to their audience. The quality of their work gave them a competitive advantage over competitors. Finally, the NYT realized early on that it needed to change in order to survive. The NYT was one of the first to recognize the earnings potential and threat of lost business with the internet. The company decided that the digital aspect would be a separate business unit within the NYT. They needed their employees to embrace a growing strategy rather than a century-old newspaper company. Even though the company grew online, advertisements continued to decline. The NYT decided to launch an online subscription since they were attracted to user charges. This subscription had an annual premium where an individual would have access to any...

...-Joining the school newspaper is the greatest decision I ever made in my whole high school career. I had always wanted to be a member of an intellectual and profound organization and newspaper answered my yearning. Prior to newspaper, writing was a chore for me in which I was only inclined to complete for an English grade. However, my school newspaper created a different aurora about writing for me. I uncovered a passion for journalism writing and found it especially thrilling when my masterpiece published in the newspaper. My love for newspaper strengthened further when my newspaper peers and I traveled to Denver, Colorado on April 17-19, 2015 for a journalism conference. There, we entered our recently published issue and placed 2nd in the nation for our category. Immediate happiness occurred for me as I knew I had a small yet vital contribution to our victory. Later that year, I applied for and gained an editorial position in which I'm immensely proud of. I plan to continue our national award-winning legacy in this upcoming journalism conference of April 2016. ...
