Media messages are mostly to inform the public in a certain way, often biased in its form. Often media messages only show one side or perspective of an argument, and sometimes even censor the other side from being seen to the public. It also can be to entertain as well, because of different entertainment channels or things (Videogames, TV, etc.) A final purpose is to persuade, such as in a blog article, newspaper, tv, etc. 3. The media is affected by social, economic, and political factors because of a person's point of view or bias. More than anything, I think the point of bias is to gain an advantage of something, such as political campaigns, advertisements, and social networking sites. The things these all have in common is that they all are to benefit or give an advantage to something/someone in some way, i.e. political campaigns for representatives, advertisements to gain economic benefit, and social networking sites to keep an eye on information and trends of people. 4. The effects on groups of people who are not represented by these media stories are often a lack of support and representation to their side and a difficulty to communicate to others thoroughly. The effect on the people who portray them are often the opposite.

1. The Americans are portrayed as being helpful to get rid of Iraq's tyrant. Iraq is portrayed as happy because their tyrant is gone and thrown out of office. 2. Overview Government: Parliamentary Democracy Religion: Muslim Capital: Baghdad Gross Per Capita: $3800 Population Below Poverty Line: 25% Debt: 52.58 billion 3. The image of America capturing POW's makes us seem as if we are doing a good thing to protect the people from Iraq, and the Iraq newspaper makes it seem as if we are slaughtering their children and civilization. However, they both point out how the other side is harming them in some manner. 4. The way the paper was arranged is to convince the American people of imminent danger coming from the Iraq people. The photo on the American Newspaper makes it seem as if the Americans were doing an honorable act, since they are wearing uniforms. However, in reality it was quite the opposite. These acts were not honorable in almost any way. 5. It changed my understanding on the matter greatly, because it changed the way that I thought of the Iraq War. The war was about killing innocent people to achieve something to their own benefit. 6. The choices were based on persuasion. In order to persuade someone effectively, there must be a way to include some truth in the matter. The media, although they would like to, cannot be 100% biased yet, because even though the sheep of America will buy into it, the people who do something with that gray matter will understand that there is something wrong with the media and what they are reporting. So, there is truth to the media, but not very much. The only reason there is truth is to be convincing. 7. The newspaper images were doctored because the people whom doctored them wanted to persuade the public to believe something. 8. The doctoring of the pictures served a purpose by persuading the people of a certain belief so that the people would be content with the "truth" that they were told. Often people are too lazy to research, so this works rather well. 9. The higher ups gain from this because as long as the people believe that they are doing their job, most will not interfere with their plans; whatever they may be. 10. I absolutely think that an altered image changes history, because the real power is in the people and the next generation. In fact, the next generation is of great importance because they're the next people to be prominent parts of the U.S. If these people are not informed the right way, that can be history-changing.

1. A) Image size takes up a big portion of the entire newspaper to show a very good visual, since people respond to visuals greatly. B) Bold font is easy to read and grabs the reader's attention. Text that is "less important" is in smaller font, so it is harder to read. C) Spacing can be important, often the more truthful stuff has less space to it. This means the stuff that they want is to read is going to be very prominent, but will also probably be less truthful. 2. The audience is the American people for the American Newspaper, and the Iraqi people for the Iraqi Newspaper.  3. The other side is barely represented in the American Newspaper. The media will skim over the truth for conviction to their audience. Of course, the Iraqi Newspaper represents their side, but they also represent the American side as well. It's also true, that the Iraqi Newspaper calls us as we are: slaughterers.

The media assists in shaping and influencing the ways history is created in an extraordinary way. In fact, you could probably say at this point, the media is history. I say this because lots of people buy into propaganda that the media tells them, causing these people to do things they normally wouldn't. The Iraqi war, for example, caused a lot of people to forever envision Iraq as a terrorist country. However, there is proof that on Sep. 9 of 2001, the plans to completely obliterate Iraq were on George Bush's desk. Two days later, these people had their excuse, 9/11. 9/11 is something that people find so horrifying and extreme, that to say against what we are told seems like it would be cruel, heartless even. I disagree. I believe that there is an Al Qaeda, however I do not believe that they are run by the so-called monsters of Iraq. Al Qaeda is really a CIA front used to utilize the people's panic. The plan is simple: 1) Cause a planned-out problem that will be devastating, i.e. 9/11. 2) Let the people panic for a while. 3) Give the solution to the problem, in this case it would be to go to war with the terrorists. In reality, the terrorists we should be going to war with is our own government., the real terrorists of America. It's amazing how the media can shape things in America, as well as other places. It is simple things that can change the entire history of our world. The media is an amazing thing, it has the ability to collapse this nation upon itself. Do your own research and you will be better off than the rest of us.
