...Fairness doctrine changes talk radio and cable news? Fairness Doctrine was started in 1949 by FCC right after World War II. Because lawmaker realized, the very powerful tool, TV, could be controlled by very few people, so congress wanted to prevent. The year 1949 was the age of a couple of commercial TV networks generally relying on the telephone company for live program distribution to affiliates across the network. There were no satellites or videotape, and no other programming sources were available other than locally originated live or film content. (SosemanNed, 2013) It required Broadcaster license holders to give time to issues public importance and provide political balance. It was challenged 1969, it was uphill by the Supreme Court. But, in 1987: President Ronald Reagan simply abolished it. It freed talk radio to provide ONLY the programing listeners were willing to support. Soon afterward, the very next year, Rush Limbaugh who are in Right Wing amount of charge, launched his own radio talk show. It had tremendous success.

...than one commonly accepted definition. Example: Radio likes to talk to himself and during the movie it seems that he doesn’t know what all words mean so he thinks they have different meanings. “But” Statement: A statement in which the second half cancels the meaning of the first half. Example: Radio wants to go to an away game with the football team but the administrator at the school says no. Coach explains to Radio that he isn’t allowed to go and coach tells him “I’d like to take you to this game but, the administration staff won’t allow you to ride on the bus with the team.” Emotive Language: Language that conveys the sender’s attitude rather than simply offering an objective description. Example: When the players’ fathers meet up at the barbers and talk about Coach, Coach walks in and seems so surprised that everyone is meeting to talk about Coach and what he is doing for Radio. Euphemism: A pleasant term submitted for a blunt one in order to soften the impact of unpleasant information. Example: When the quarterback’s father is talking to Coach he should have added a euphemism when talking so the impact wouldn’t be so bad and Coach might not have gotten as angry. Chapter 6 Chronemics: The study of how people use and structure time. Example: Radio is a movie about football and time and the way you use and value your time in football is very important. Disfluencies: Nonlinguistic verbalizations Example: Radio is mentally handicapped and he often uses filler...

...common and traditional method when audience profiling is to use a demographics chart to narrow down the search for the best target audience. The purpose of a demographics chart is to define the adult population largely by the work that they do. The demographic chart breaks the entire population of adults down into six groups. The chart then labels them by using a letter code that then describes the status and income of the members of each group. Measuring the number of viewers and listeners for a TV/ Radio programme or whole station’s output is a complex business. Generally, an audience research agency will select a sample of the population and monitor their viewing and listening habits over the space of 7 days. The data gained is then extrapolated to cover the whole population, based on the percentage sample. It is by no means an accurate science and the numbers obtained are known as the viewing figures or ratings. Most radio stations try to cater to a target audience. Radio producers do this by playing music that appeals to the target audience. Contests and free tickets may be featured to grab teenagers' interest. Morning shows focusing on...

...The media Anne O’Keeffe Historical overview of media discourse ‘The media’ is a very broad term, encompassing print and broadcast genres, that is anything from newspaper to chat show and, latterly, much more besides, as new media emerge in line with technological leaps. The study of ‘the media’ comes under the remit of media studies from perspectives such as their production and consumption, as well as their aesthetic form. The academic area of media studies cuts across a number of disciplines including communication, sociology, political science, cultural studies, philosophy and rhetoric, to name but a handful. Meanwhile, the object of study, ‘the media’, is an ever-changing and ever-growing entity. The study of ‘the media’ also comes under the radar of applied linguistics because at the core of these media is language, communication and the making of meaning, which is obviously of great interest to linguists. As Fairclough (1995a: 2) points out, the substantively linguistic and discoursal nature of the power of the media is a strong argument for analysing the mass media linguistically. Central to the connection between media studies and studies of the language used in the media (media discourse studies) is the importance placed on ideology. A major force behind the study of ideology in the media is Stuart Hall (see, for example, Hall 1973, 1977, 1980, 1982). Hall (1982), in his influential paper, notes that the study of media (or ‘mass communication’) has had...

...Plot Overview Note: Billy Pilgrim, the novel’s protagonist, has become “unstuck in time.” He travels between periods of his life, unable to control which period he lands in. As a result, the narrative is not chronological or linear. Instead, it jumps back and forth in time and place. The novel is struc-tured in small sections, each several paragraphs long, that describe various moments of his life. Billy Pilgrim is born in 1922 and grows up in Ilium, New York. A funny-looking, weak youth, he does reasonably well in high school, enrolls in night classes at the Ilium School of Optometry, and is drafted into the army during World War II. He trains as a chaplain’s assistant in South Carolina, where an umpire officiates during practice battles and announces who survives and who dies before they all sit down to lunch together. Billy’s father dies in a hunting accident shortly before Billy ships overseas to join an infantry regiment in Luxembourg. Billy is thrown into the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium and is immediately taken prisoner behind German lines. Just before his capture, he experiences his first incident of time—shifting: he sees the entirety of his life, from beginning to end, in one sweep. Billy is transported in a crowded railway boxcar to a POW camp in Germany. Upon his arri-val, he and the other privates are treated to a feast by a group of fellow prisoners, who are English officers who were captured earlier in the war. Billy suffers a breakdown and gets a shot of...

...Freedom of Speech, Hate Speech, & Talk Radio Brice Hinchman Freedom of Speech, Hate Speech, & Talk Radio What is Freedom of speech? Well, the definition for freedom of speech is the ability to speak freely without being subject to censorship or without fear of retaliation from a governing body. There are at least two documents, the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that acknowledge that free speech is an unalienable right and protect it for all. There is another form of speech that may or may not be protected, depending on the circumstances, under the same documents and that is hate speech. Some of the limitations that are put in place by Government, employers, and educational facilities are a violation of what freedom of speech is really about, being able to freely speak your mind, but are necessary to protect the rights and liberties of other individuals. The freedom of speech is a very powerful right that is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Our Founding Fathers set the stage when they wrote the Declaration of Independence by stating that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Choices, 81). One of these liberties and unalienable rights was the Freedom of speech. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified...

...Gwendolyn Davis Influence of Visual Media Hum/ 176 Instructor Prichard University of Phoenix August 12, 2012 Interrelationships are defined as being placed in or coming into mutual relationship with someone and or something. Forms of visual entertainment media are; radio, television, CD’s and DVD’s to name a few. When one speak of Media and the influence it has made on American society as far as culture and values, I can honestly see the reflection from what is viewed and or listened to in our day to day lives. In the times of old there were some shows that allowed a glimpse as to what we are living in now as far as the change of times. Shows like the Jeffersons and Different Strokes allowed Americans to see the change that was coming within our families, communities and the world as a whole. The Shape of Americans Culture and Values. As times have changed so has our ability to gain instant access whether it is the local news, a nationally syndicated radio talk show or the ability to attend online university and gain a degree as a working adult. America has changed based on the media; however it is up to each individual to determine the shape that is being made. We have come along way from VCR’S and huge televisions that weigh a few hundred pounds. Being that the majority of the world is always on the go, these are some awesome attributes of American culture and the shape it is taking; however the negative aspect for me is the fact that...

...invited you will be quickly eliminated. UFO’s are widely seen around the world seen around the world. Even more widely around the U.S. more closely around areas near Area 51. Yes, may people make up UFO sightings and tamper with videos, but there are people who have seen them, or at lease think that they really seen them. You can never tell who is really telling the truth. If someone actually has proof the government decides to delete all known history about what that person has to say. The government lets people talk to an extent, bit it is about them and someone decides to put the governments business out to be known to the world, the government is quick to shut them up. For example, in 1977 on the Art Bell Radio Show, Bell recieved a frantic phone call from a man who claimed to have been inside Area 51. He started talking about how the government knew that the aliens are here to stay, and he started to cry and seemed scared out of his mind, then suddenly the whole radio station went Off-Air for about 30 seconds. The government did that, Because he was telling the truth. The government is hiding aliens. The scary bt honest truth is that the government has hidden many things from us, aliens...

You can do lesson that talk about different cultures, you can read books doing group time are have students to do show and tell about by bring something from their culture. Going around the classroom and talking to each student one on one can make them feel accepted. To make all students feel valued give them all a task to do. How students should treat each other. This is where classroom rules should come in. You should let them know that they have to respect everyone in the classroom. Also let the student know that everyone in you class is the same. Two classroom routines or activities that you will utilize to help students develop and maintain an appreciation for every member of the classroom community Have a group is the first activity I would do every morning. This gives the students the chance to communicate with each other. Having a week at the being of the school year where student s gets to bring something everyday from their background or community and give them the chance to talk about it. Getting to know more about a child can help the students understand each other better. I believe that every child has a story. So this helps me to treat all students the same. Because you never know what there story is. When it comes to conflict...

...Granite City Role Differentiation At Granite City we monitored a few different roles being taken. First was the hostess stand, we identified 3 different hostesses who supported each other in various fashions. One was answering the phone and working the seating chart. The other two were taking turns seating customers. Both of these two people would talk to the customers as they walked to their seats trying to make them feel comfortable. Once they seated them they would go back to the host table and seat some more guests. If there was no one they would walk around and help where needed. We did see one that was washing windows and cleaning tables. The Wait staff was approximately 12 strong. They were very polite and friendly. They help each other out. One waitress came to our table and informed us she was helping our waitress out and would take our drink orders. Then our waitress came and introduced herself. During the time our waitress was not busy she also assisted other wait staff and help in the prepping area in the kitchen. The wait staff was always active - we had many of them come by to ask if we needed anything. The wait staff seemed to support one another and balance out when certain staff was too busy. We saw many tables get assistance from different wait staff. Their actions indicated they had a great team atmosphere. In the Kitchen there were 6 cooks. The cooks worked feverously to get things made and prepared for the wait staff....

..."It's just fine, as long as everyone can understand you." Everyone got that? We all agree accents are fine? The problem is when people can't understand you. We have a lot of empirical evidence that there's a threshold beyond which the difficulty of understanding the CEO harms a company's prospects. And while we don't know exactly how, I'm pretty sure the problem is not merely that investors have trouble understanding the company's Demo Day presentation. Demo Day presentations are only 2 minutes and 30 seconds. With a presentation that short, you can just memorize it at the level of individual phonemes. Most batches we have groups that do this. Conversations are more of a problem, as I know from my own experience doing office hours. We talk about a lot of subtle points at office hours. (Even talking on the phone rather than in person introduces a significant degradation. That's why we insist the groups we fund move to Silicon Valley for the duration of YC.) And I know I don't get as deeply into things with the groups that don't speak English well. I can feel it happening; we just can't communicate well enough. And often when I feel it happening, I...

...old busser/dishwasher with a slight mental disability, comes in through the back door. As the loud, obnoxious, and loving woman comes in she does her routine of greering all of the cooks working, giving some of them hugs and asking how their morning has been. As she moves on to the office where she will put her jacket and anything else that she has with her, that is in the front of the restaurant she passes all of the servers and hosts, talks to them just how she does to the cooks. After she clocks in, she walks back to the kitchen and then brings a couple cooks a drink without even having them ask her. She remembers what they get to drink because she always goes back to the kitchen and asks everyone if they want something so if you ask her for it then she will get it for you any other time she sees you back there, It’s just what she does. Then once the day goes on she is either bussing tables or washing dishes in the back. No matter where she is you can either hear her by her incredibly loud snort when she laughs or just by the way she talks, she is just so loud. Tawnya has been doing this same routine for over 15 years and she still loves every second of it no matter what. Everyone who has ever worked with Tawnya at some point had to have loved her. As annoying as she can get there is still a lot of times when she is very nice, loving, and funny. Whenever she is around there is barely ever negative feelings because she will light up your day if you aren’t having a very good...
