Journal Entry 4
August 6, 2008
1. How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?
I feel that the media portray social justice issues by presenting them generalized and not in much depth to what is actually hapening and focusing in on the real message of the story.
2. Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
Yes it has been hard to find articles on social justice issues because the media like to pick on the small things and focus on the main people or person in the article to show the readers what they have done and for what reasons they did it.
3. Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
The media work from a moral framework because if the reader, listeners or watchers at home hear about (which is usually a bad cause) what the person did, they compare it to what normal people would do and then are amazed at how someone could commit something, whatever the cause may be. So the media definatley operate from a moral framework.
