Internet and Propaganda model

Now days’ broadcasting has taken a change and has advanced to a point where it’s called narrowcasting. There are multiple sources of information and since there are various audiences and interests, the communication media challenges the propaganda model by increasing the number of channels in which information can reach the public. The internet is one of those big channels and has had a huge impact on this situation.
With the internet, ownership has been changed. People on the internet can set up their own website with its own domain name for hosting fees as low as a dollar per month. With no extra cost they can also download and install free source software that have feature comparable complexity compared to newspapers. A lot of people have been doing this and have been becoming highly successful. Internet publishing is a lot lower than the price to enter into tradition media like newspaper and TV.
Advertising on the internet may attract more income than ad free sites. But the ads themselves are supposed as such a pain by the readers. A lot of the advertising models rely on Google ads, in which the selection of advertising is based on the search engine. They have key words that match the advertiser’s keyword so they can place their ads on sites that are like their product. All websites have that contain content that matches another advertiser’s word. Moving on, some top websites don’t like having Google or other ads on their site even though it could generate millions of dollars. Instead they raise funds through appeals for donations from users and corporate grants.
Many internet media are sources of Flak and a lot people in America use this to their own advantage. It’s not of a restraining to free dialog. Lawsuits are difficult to mount and are even harder to win. People now days can use the internet to look up anything and use it to their advantage. Traditional journalist have their official sources which is based on their “beats” They hear the information from people they have heard from in pasted and it becomes a regular source. Now with having the internet you don’t need to ask people, you have search engines waiting to solve your questions with people that have already got the information from other sources.
So coming to a conclusion the internet has changed the propaganda model in many ways. People have a lot of ways of finding information and now the internet is a good way to do that. People don’t have to own their company; they can just set up websites with a domain name and having a hosting fee that is super cheap. There are more ways information can reach the public in cheaper ways instead of having one to many broadcasts they have one to one systems to do that job

we feel fine

people letting out personal information might hurt them but its a good thing that people are expressing themselfs and communicating

Thursday, October 13, 2011

The first ad i saw J.G Wentworth and it had bandwagon because there were a whole bunch of people in it seeming to be happier when they called G.J Wentworth. They had a transfer to because the company made it seem like there bussiness was better and wanted to get that idea across better. They also had salience, which would have been there slogan line which was "877 cash now". They say this repeatedly to get it stuck in your head and so it stay there for awhile.


The other ad i saw was a gatorade commercial with Tiger Woods in it. This it testimonial because they have there product be adversited by a pro athlete which makes it seem like its better. They also used bandwagon because they had other people drinking it and they ended playin good in the sport making it look better than it really is. Another one the tactics they used was strawman. They made a easy arguement that gatorade was better than water and people end up buying it because they make it sound better.

Breaking down ads

     There is one guy that is african american. He is older and he is representing a sport brand. It was a face photo that was pretty close to his face. The lighting is dark and the writing is in white so it sticks out. They only use the colors of black and white and is has a dark tin to it. Most of the words are small but some of them are bigger. They use a normal type font and the bigger font says "would i be" and "would i still be your hero". The small font says info about the ad. The product being sold is all nike products and is being represented by Michael Jordan himself. This ad is targetted to all ages. This ad pretty much says nike is a great brand and alot of famous people wear it. This ad doesnt really make assumptions other than athletes where nike. This ad is social because people still continue to buy nike and there advertisements attract people to buying them too.


   There is one african american male that is very athletic and young. His facial expressions are none becasue his head is turned up. The picture was takin pretty much from in front up his with the camera tilted up. The lighting is not real and is very dark. The colors that are use are black, white and are very dark. The words on this ad are in white so they stick out of the black back ground and they say "we are all witness". Thr product that is being sold is nike all nike products and it is appealing because a famous basketball star is the person on he ad. This product is for everyone because any age group can buy nike products. There is no assumption for gender because there are allot of ads that have different stars on them. There is no assumption to race either because there are lots of different races on different ads. The only assumption this could make about class is if you have money or not. The only conseqences of this ad is more products being sold and there is no unrealistic factors that take place. This ad is socialy responsible and follows all the rules along with not having anything inappropriate on it.bad on it.



                There are no people in this ad. This isnt a picture its art work. The lighting seems to be bright and attention getting. They use the colors yellow, green, white, black, and grey. The text says "who are you calling a soft drink" and it has black letters and its on a wall so it sticks out more. The text is good sized and is easy to read. Mountain dew is the product being advertised and i think is appealing because of the colors. It is advertised to any pop drinker or someone who wants something to drink. The ad just is saying its a good drink. There is no judgement torwards race, gender, or class. This ad isnt anything that is doesnt advetised. It is social and gets people to try it and keep buying it.
