Television's Transformation of "Tiny"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing a 1980 article mourning the decline of intellectual discourse in favor of the smallness of television. The article was written by one of the same generation that progressively removed from public schools all pursuits during the 1960s and 70s that could contribute to the development of critical thinking abilities. The paper argues that people have greater ability to and interest in forming their own opinions than media have given them credit for being able to do, citing our rejection of networks for fact-only CNN during the Persian Gulf War in support. Television is indeed small; it would be much smaller without demands of viewers that it be otherwise. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The Computer as a Powerful Tool in Media Convergence
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the computer as a powerful tool in media convergence. The computer has quickly become the most powerful media tool today and is steadily adapting to all aspects of the media and is leading the way to media convergence. Because television and radio broadcasts using video and audio streams which can be converted digitally, computers have easily adapted to also offering video and audio features. Perhaps more importantly, in the convergence of the devices of computer and television, “television” viewers will be able to have autonomy in the programs they watch and the personal preferences which can be added to include local information among other options. Within the news media, the computer has become a vital tool not only in regards to information gathering but also in areas such as production and news-flow management in which computers coordinate productions using Web, audio and video feeds. Even the print media, which fundamentally seems historically different, has benefited with its convergence with the computer as newspapers and magazines which are available online can reach a far greater audience than using the traditional distribution methods. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
