Assignment Question
Changing News Media Question The news media today is much different than it was prior to the 1990’s with the development of new technology like cable television, the internet and social media. In the past, most people received their news from one of the three major television networks – ABC, NBC or CBS – or their city’s newspaper. Now, people have many more options to receive news, including cable news networks, many different websites and through social media like X/Twitter or Facebook. In this response paper, you should discuss whether you think these changes to the news media have been a good thing that benefits American politics or do you think these changes have been a bad thing that are detrimental to American politics. When discussing whether you think the changes to the media have overall been a good or bad thing, you should be sure to separately discuss those aspects of the changing media landscape that have been beneficial and those aspects of the changing media landscape have been harmful. You should then discuss whether overall the changes have been overall beneficial or harmful to the American political system. The paper should be at least 300 words long. Be sure to address all three aspects of the question because you will receive a separate grade for each:
How has the changing media landscape been beneficial to the American political system? How has the changing media landscape harmed the American political system? Overall, has the changing media landscape been a good or bad thing for the American political system? In other words, do the beneficial aspects of the changes outweigh the harmful aspects, or do the harmful aspects outweigh the beneficial aspects?
