1. Internet Television Newpapers Blogs Twitter Online Advertisements Images Videos Movies

2. Media is intended to entertain, persuade, inform, and to spread news.

3. The media is influenced by society because society wants to know about people like celebrities, presidents, and important or rich people. The media is influenced through the government because the government feeds the media images and sometimes it has been edited or just tells us one side of the story. The economy influences the media because people can by out news companies, the media can be bribed into not reporting certain things. 4. Their stories are not told and their voices silenced. It means that their voices will have no impact and their pleas will be ignored.

Step 2 1. Both sides are portrayed in the video by the Americans they describe Baghdad being liberated but it was really just a bunch of journalists and soldiers 2. 3. The similarities between the images are they both portray war and violence. The differences are they portray different opinions that America is horrible and America is liberating 4. They depicted the events through videos and pictures. 5. It gave me a greater understanding of the other side to the story. 6. The media chose to show the stuff that portrayed the United States in the better light and they cut out the explosions. 7. They were doctored to show a better united states, and because the law doesn't permit the showing of these images. 8. It served the purpose of keeping the public not as well informed. 9. The government gets more support from the people on the war, and it prevents public discontent. 10. Yes, it could change history because it can depict different acts then what really happened

Step 3

1. In image three the New York paper is covered in pictures with no text but filled with pictures of lightning and explosions. The London paper has much more text and the pictures are more subdued making it look like the war isn't going well. 2. The audiences are the Western Powers. 3. The Iraqi are not being shown it just shows the Western powers. Which gives them little hope for sympathy.

1. In the American paper it shows soldiers being dragged to the camp. The Spanish paper shows civilians that have been torn apart by artillery. 2. The audiences are the Americans and the Spanish 3. The side not being depicted is the Iraqi army itself. the Spanish paper only shows civilians but what about the Iraqi army.

Step 5 The media influences the way people view things and legitimize things that people have done. In America the media has changed our view of the war, and in Iraq it has made them think that we are horrible people. In other countries that went to war with us it shows the damage that has been done to us. When the countries that didn't go to war with us depict the war it shows what has happened because of the war with Iraq.

The media has changed people's views in many countries around the globe. In America the media has fed us information that has influenced our opinion of the war. The American media has been putting out images that give us the opinion that we are losing soldiers but we're fighting for a good cause. They send out pictures of wounded soldiers and how we are doing a good job in Iraq. They put out a video showing the Iraqi civilians tearing down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad when in reality it was mostly soldiers and reporters. In other countries like Britain it depicts that America is losing troops to fight against terrorism. In London a paper went out showing a few American walking into the sunset giving a more calm feeling. The other Western powers thought that we were fighting a just war and the pictures in the paper and the videos didn't show everything else. In other countries that have less power and influence it shows how evil America is. They show the Iraqi point of view of the war. They show all of the civilian casualties, all of the bad things that have happened because of the Americans. The media has changed the way people view things like the war in Iraq.

The media has influenced our views on the war in Iraq. They make us think we are heroes. While also showing us as a menace. The media has blown spread their views. The media has and always will change the way people view things. What the people need to learn not to always accept everything they read as fact.
