Intro to Media Questions

1. TV, the internet, video games, music, radio, newspapers, magazines, social media apps, cell phones.
2. General Electric, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS control 90% of American media, which used to be owned by 50 companies.
3. Emerson College: "Combining tradition and innovation, the Department of Journalism is committed to training ethical journalists who can write compelling, original news stories—and bring those stories to life through broadcast, print, web, and multimedia platforms. As a student, you’ll gain rich experience in the field through class assignments, internships, and extracurricular activities that range from conducting on-street interviews and attending State House press conferences to providing multimedia coverage of the Emmys." "[...] you’ll learn how to tell stories that increase public understanding and awareness, and gain the skills necessary to adapt to—and shape—this rapidly evolving field."
4. "Watchdog" journalism involves alerting and protecting the public when a problem is found -- usually regarding illegal activity, immorality, consumer protection issues, and the environment. Those being watched are the government to prevent abuse of power.
5. I don't know what "liberal bias" means. I know to be biased means prejudiced for/against something or someone, so I'm assuming liberal bias would be either supporting or opposing a liberal idea, cause, person, etc.
