The one network law I most agree with would be Sarnoff's Law. Sarnoff's law states that "the value of a broadcast network is directly proportional to the number of viewers." I strongly believe that the majority of power that is given to most media outlets and news channels are solely based on the amount of viewers their program receives. Our media proves that every day with the continuous manipulation of other media services to help create the bias news that helps maintain viewership.
That brings me to the second question, because people have become more interactive (with social media news) with their news and how they obtain it. Especially after looking back to 2010 and how different society has become, being able to just find out the main news through bias websites such as Facebook, it will only double in the next 5 years. Slowly, it's becoming more prevalent that the majority of this world will start to just trust there extreme websites without ever getting the full story.
I think you are right but the internet is already is full of opinions so it's up to the people who look at the sources. I think more news sources will shift to the internet and that will continue their bias' through that. There will be a new medium that will be found and used to give their opinions to and the cycle will continue.
ReplyDeleteI like what you have to say about the second question. With more and more social media based news, who are we going to trust and how can we keep them credible?
