1721 Words7 Pages

The ideas and thoughts shared were painful. It’s hard to imagine that Mass Communication is at its final stage, doomed for extinction. I find it ironic to study and extract this topic regarding end of mass communication since I am pursuing my education related to this field. I don’t like the idea that it’s going to be gone any time soon. Mass Communication is here to stay, I cooed to myself after reading the whole narrative. As we go along, I will enumerate my thoughts, views and opinions in the most effective way. I’d like to begin this by understanding the terms. Mass /mas/ : relating to, done by, or affecting large numbers of people or things. Synonyms are general, universal, large-scale – (source: Meriam Webster Dictionary) Communication /kəˌmyo͞onəˈkāSH(ə)n/: There’s a sender, a message and a receiver. (As discussed in the class) Just combine them and incorporate technology then that’s what we call Mass Communication. A media institution categorized in different forms like magazines, films, TV and radio is most the common assumption of people towards Mass communication.

    Lukianoff and Haidt provide examples of how students are trying to eliminate speech that may be found offensive or discomforting on campus in their article for The Atlantic. Two fairly recent terms to understanding this development in student ideology are “microaggression” and “trigger warning.” A microaggression is inadvertently insulting someone or a group of people with something that was not meant to be offensive. A trigger warning is a warning often provided to students when the subject matter of a class may be found offensive or elicit a strong emotional response. These two terms represent the change in ideology towards speech on campuses.

    The strength and effects of mass media are expressed perfectly in Denis McQuail’s article “The Influence and Effects of Mass Media.” McQuail does not really focus on the educational spectrum of mass media like Lunsford. Instead he tries to provide useful information about how mass media effects society as a whole and how there can be power gained from ownership of mass media. Instead of just thinking of mass media as a website that teenagers get on to post what they are eating for lunch or what they had to do that day, McQuail looks deeper and writes about how mass media can lead to political and economic power. One example from his article is when he writes about how mass media “can attract and direct attention to problems, solutions or people” and can also be useful in the forms of “persuasion and mobilization.”
