manipulation of truth... (1 Viewer)

[ToO LaZy ^*]

so what are the reasons for the manipulation of truth in frontline?
so far i've got down

- financial reasons- higher ratings = increased profits
- personal reasons- the image you get from a 'good' story..
- professional reasons- boosting the image of the frontline team, publicity, credibility..

are there any other reasons? i've got a speech on it and it seems very little to talk about

i reckon that pretty much covers it, however, it should be plenty for a speech coz ull have 2 add in specific examples of each, different situations, comparison, quotes etc.

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

mm..yeah i guess so.
examples make up about 3 minutes of my speech..then i've got 1 minute to explain the reasons.

Well, when you trace all motivation, you'll find that everything is about ratings ratings ratings, which in turn generates money for the Frontline team. =)

What about status?

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

that's under public image me thinks

 

[Misturi]

Oh, l meant status of the characters...mike vs brooke etc.

There's more to it than ratings. But I imagine most people will revolve around that.

hmm i got a presentation on this module and i have to create something that shows the manipulation of truth meaning i have to construct something!
i have no idea wat to do!

 

[Misturi]

I had to do that - i did a present - all colourful on the outside, but on the inside it's black - and what the truth really is.

well theres also the manipulation of truth for political gain and to benefit those in positions of power

eg. the PM's interviews being 'puff pieces' ==> John Howard has been criticised for doing puff piece interviews
