Media And Domestic Violence

Number of Pages 4

4 pages in length. Broadcast news is no stranger to depicting violence; in fact, it has long been a mainstay of virtually all top-of-the-hour programming. The extent to which violent news stories play an integral role with this particular form of mass media is illustrated in a two-fold fashion: 1) to draw in viewers and 2) provide social benefit. Mass media have long been labeled as society's gatekeeper of both valuable and erroneous information; this paper will discuss how television news utilizes its tremendous impact for the purpose of educating and protecting those who were once - or are currently - voiceless victims of domestic abuse, which illustrates how this form of media effectively raises awareness about the problem. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
