Social Problems and the Media -- The Global Issue of HIV and
AIDS
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the fact that in less than
two decades, the pandemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection has become an international health, social, and
economic emergency. Not surprisingly, media coverage of AIDS, the
impact of the disease, and research into the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become an important channel of
communication regarding treatment, research breakthroughs, and
the development of new treatments. However, attention to the
impact of HIV infection and AIDS in Third World nations has been
less than comprehensive and exemplifies the ways in which the
media (and society, in general) tends to neglect the devastating
impact of the disease in places such as sub-Saharan Africa.

Society SmackDown -- the WWF and Its Contribution to a Violent
Society
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the WWF or World
Wrestling Federation and how it contributes to the perpetuation
of violence in society. Wrestling is a phenomenon unto itself.
Its fans joyfully buy into the mayhem, the insults, and the
staging. Concerns about the ways in which modern society has
become increasingly more violent have caused numerous studies to
take place between the effects of “fantasy violence” in
entertainment and its impact on viewers. The WWF is certainly one
of the most generous of contributors to the attitude of violence
and revenge as a means for settling virtually any form of
dispute. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Sports' and Television's Coevolution
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the concurrent
path that sports and television have traveled over the years to arrive at current conditions. The
future of the sports-TV connection stands at the brink of change that could rival the influence that
each has had on the other in the past 50 years. TV needed to persist as people caught up with
technology and put those 10" black and white sets in their homes; it now will need to do the same
as it waits for viewers to become enamored of digital, interactive TV. Bibliography lists 7
sources.

Summary
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Mass media have metamorphosed from a collection of individuals focused upon accurately gathering and reporting society and the world's goings-on to a splintered faction of journalists whose only desire is to trump the next reporter by scooping the story under any incorrect and/or unethical means. This transformation has cost the once-respected journalism trade a hefty price in terms of its reputation; the public has become wary of what it reads, hears and sees with the advent of sensationalized reporting. War coverage is a particularly delicate area where a given journalist's personal agenda, sloppy fact-finding and pressure to produce routinely skew the truth. No bibliography.
