Other Issues in Media and Society

Other Issues in Media and Society

In pursuit of further knowledge for issues surrounding the media, I come across some other blogs that discuss issues that are interesting to think about in todays society.

Imran Mohd: http://violencemedia188.wordpress.com/

Imran Mohd's blog on Violence and Media discusses the different ways in which media is currently promoting violence, and how it is not necessarily a good thing for the future. This blog is interesting in the aspect of what the outcome of violent tendency and their relation to media.

Bahram Gulzade: http://onmusicandus.blogspot.cz

Bahram's blog is on Hiphop, and its affects in our culture. I found it quite interesting, as it discusses the current idea of hiphop, as well as the cultural meaning it holds to many African-Americans since its founding, and why it is important in media today.

Dominika Sindlerova: http://dominikasindlerova.blogspot.cz

Dominka's blog focuses on the question of beauty in media, and how it is portrayed. This issue is extremely important for the current trends being set, and especially to promote equality between men and women in all parts of life.

Alina Maisigova: http://alinamaisigovasblog.blogspot.cz

The idea of Alina's blog is to focus on youtubers, and what it is that makes them so special. Youtube is still a fairly new form of media, and the industry behind it is growing increasingly strong as the years pass on, so much so that it's fairly common for people to know "youtube stars". This blog is an interesting read for anyone that follows a youtube channel religiously. 

Edguardo Cerna: https://xcernae.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/how-i-see-it/

Edguardo's blog focues also on Media and Violence. This is an important issue, and the way that children are affected, and how we educate viewers early on, as soon as they start becoming exposed to the violence, is crucial. His blog covers these issues well, along with multiple platforms and mediums.
