“Bullying behaviour can be communicated via text, mobile phones, internet, social networking sites, forums. But we can't limit it because these messages are then reinforced by television which glamorises yelling, swearing and vulgar behaviour as the way to walk the red carpet of acceptance.” WaySocialWalksAcceptanceTelevisionInternetLimitsMessagesRedPhonesBullyingBehaviourSiteVulgarCarpetMobileNetworkingYellingSocial NetworkingSocial NetworkRed CarpetSwearingForumsMobile PhonesSocial Networking SitesNetworking Sites Author:Louise Burfitt-Dons
“Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad.” LongMomentsFightingSocialVoiceAttentionMediaCarTelevisionMessagesNewsRadioSocial MediaPocketsCyclesDesks Author:Joseph Prince
“Television has accustomed us to brief, intimate, telegraphic, visual, narrative messages. Candidates are learning to act, speak, and think in television's terms. In the process they are transforming speeches, debates, and their appearances in news into ads.” ThinkingPoliticsSpeakProcessTermTelevisionSpeechMessagesNewsAppearanceDebateNarrativeIntimateCandidatesVisualsAdsAccustomedTransforming Book:Dirty Politics: Deception, Distraction, and Democracy Source: Dirty Politics: Deception, Distraction, and Democracy
“Girls get the message from very early on that what's most important is how they look, that their value, their worth depends on that. And boys get the message that this is what's important about girls. We get it from advertising. We get it from films. We get it from television shows, video games, everywhere we look. So no matter what else a woman does, no matter what else her achievements, their value still depends on how they look.” LooksDoeStillsImportantMatterShowsFilmValuesGirlGamesBoysTelevisionDependsAchievementMessagesNo Matter WhatVideoAdvertisingWhat's ImportantTelevision Shows Author:Jean Kilbourne
“I don't get the impression that most sources of media - like television and movies - are trying to get out a positive message, necessarily. My impression is they're trying to get a message out that promotes their personal opinion, position or belief and they're trying to do something that makes money. They want to turn a buck.” WantTryingTurnsBeliefOpinionMediaPositionTelevisionSourceMessagesImpressionMaking MoneyBucksPersonal OpinionsPositive Messages Author:Max Lucado
“People are more likely to search for specific books in which they are actively interested and that justify all of that effort of reading them. Electronic images and sounds, however, thrust themselves into people's environments, and the messages are received with little effort. In a sense, people must go after print messages, but electronic messages reach out and touch people. People will expose themselves to information in electronic media that they would never bother to read about in a book.” PeopleLittlesBookReadingSoundEffortEnvironmentMediaInformationTelevisionMessagesBotherJustifyPrintReach OutThrustElectronic Media Author:Joshua Meyrowitz
“American television is a huge product that is exported around the world and what that means is that what our movies and films say about who women [are] has global ramifications. There is a burden and a responsibility when you are someone who is very aware of how far we've yet to travel in granting women equal rights and equal respect and you are creating cultural products. You have to be responsible and be aware of the message that you are sending out.” WorldMeanFilmResponsibilityRightsTelevisionProductsHugeEqualCreatingMessagesResponsibleBurdenAround The WorldEqual RightsBeing ResponsibleRamificationsAmerican TelevisionEqual Respect Author:Liz W.

“Nowadays, of course, just about our only solvent industry is the merchandising of death, bankrolled by our grandchildren, so that the message of our principal art forms, movies and television and political speeches and newspaper columns, for the sake of the economy, simply has to be this: War is hell, all right, but the only way a boy can become a man is in a shoot-out of some kind, preferably, but by no means necessarily, on a battlefield.” MenWayKindMeanArtWarFormPoliticalCoursesBoysEconomyHellTelevisionIndustrySpeechMessagesSakeNewspapersPrincipalGrandchildrenColumnsBattlefieldsPolitical SpeechesMerchandising Book:Bluebeard: A Novel Source: Bluebeard: A Novel
