This study is anchored on the following theories: Mediatization Theory and Propaganda Theory. These theories support that the mediatization of political news is existing in selected Cagayan de Oro print media. Furthermore, these theories can be the bases in explaining the degree of understanding on print media’s way of framing and shaping political news. Mediatization theory implies that the media shapes and frames the procedures and discourse of political communication as well as the society in which that communication happens. According to Harvard (2011), mediatization is the process whereby society increasingly becomes dependent on the media. These have clearly informed political styles, cases and issues. This theory is presented in the …show more content…
This theory is applied in various cases as it analyses the mediated process specifically in the content of political news that is essential in many aspects, and can be observed through journalist’s writings. Hence, the news depends on how the writer expresses the happenings in circular. The framing concept has virtually gone unnoticed and the content of the news is dependent to the writer’s choice or preference particularly to the types of articles and styles that they possess in the political news …show more content…
The principal measurement identifies with the degree to which the news media have turned into the most significant source of data and channel of correspondence among audiences and political actors. The second measurement is the level of independents of the media. The third measurement of mediatization pertains to the degree to which media substance is determined independently by the media's own particular news values and by their need to pull in a huge crowd. Soroka et.al (2006) expressed that the more homogenous the media, the more noteworthy troublesome for lawmakers to overlook it. Additionally the tone of the news is applicable; positive and negative news prompt to various open and political responses. Academic research on media coverage of risk emphasizes problems of inaccuracy, bias, and sensationalism in reports advocating a style of risk reporting that offers detailed contextual information (Singer, 1990; Bell, 1994; Allan, 2002). In most cases, this is the case; however, headlines can also misrepresent the gist of an article and can therefore be misleading (Australian Centre for Independent Journalism [ACIJ], 2011; Althaus, Edy, & Phalen, 2001). Bylines and authorship in news reporting,” probes how the use of bylines in modern journalism spread and eventually became almost ubiquitous, eventually having a
In The Cultural Approach of mediated citizenship written by Jeffery P. Jones, Jones discusses how politics are presented through different mediums but, also limited because of the perceived seriousness of the topic. He says the following on that very topic: “The persistent focus on news media has weakness. It leads to the dismissal of other, more popular sources of political information and content as illegitimate.” (367) This is a problem because it doesn’t present all political information. The article makes a good observation of political media and how often humans interact with it on a daily basis, but if those numbers are correct why isn’t it taken seriously?
Have you ever listened to a news story and thought it sounded one-sided? Or have you thought the news didn't seem to report the whole story or the most important aspect of a story? Journalists possess the power to influence a whole group of people with their work. When writers input their opinion, they generate bias. Consecutively, this influences a reader's reaction to a topic.
The argument can be made that, instead of appealing to the lowest common denominator in the public, at least some media should give the more informed and critical segment of the people what it wants (Lazere 305). The people are considered to be the largest segment of the audience and that should be enough evidence for the media members to make the news tailor made for the viewing public. When confronted with said evidence, most media members blame it on education. “One professional consultant who pioneered these formats justified them by claiming, “People who watch television the most are unread, uneducated, untraveled and unable to concentrate on single subjects more than a minute or two.” (Lazere 306).
They thus paved the way for many conservative and many liberal politicians, and the history has proved that their complementary ideas and thoughts are both essential for the politicians
A society should be aware of its government and how far the government will go to protect them. A society should know what role they will play in their own protection, and what they will stand for in the name of freedom and safety. A society should not go too far in sacrificing one 's freedom for safety. A person should be able to live their own life without the government stepping in and approving/disapproving of everything.

In America, Media bias is everywhere, in the United States all the information that an average American received through everyday sources, the news was most likely processed through the media and told through a biased point of view, when the media gets their hands on news if it is important then it probably won’t be talked about or downplayed no matter the source like in the newspaper, radio, television, movies, as well as other outlets that the media uses, the media only seems to share the news that they find interesting, even then the media would most likely have changed the story, in what they say is just tweaked news, what actually happened and what really happened would be two different stories, also the story would be told from one person
The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on agenda setting theory and the concept of framing. Walter Lippmann intellectually founded the concept of agenda setting. Even though Lippmann not yet mentions agenda setting namely, he does indeed elaborate the theoretical foundation and the general ideas, which essentially define agenda setting theories today (McCombs 2004, 3). “His thesis is that the news media, our windows to the vast world beyond direct experience, determine our cognitive maps of that world” (McCombs 2004, 3).
A frame is the set up and order of a new story, with the goal of influencing the audience to favor one side or the other. Biased media frame stories can drastically change the audiences’ views and will get their ratings up. Tim Groseclose of UCLA and Jeff Milyo of the University of Missouri at Columbia have said, “For every sin of commission we believe that there are hundreds, and maybe thousands, of sins of omission – cases where a journalist chose facts or stories that only one side of the political spectrum is likely to mention.” When thinking of the media you often think they are reporting accurate information. That is not always true.
Put all these together and they tell the story of political ideology. [1]
