and continuing today, music listeners across the country have protested some of music’s content and/or lyrics. The following are just a few publicized incidents during that time frame: 1954- Webb Pierce’s, “There Stands the Glass”, is banned the radio as the lyrics are believed to condone heavy drinking. 1956- ABC bans Billie Holiday’s rendition of “Love for Sale” because of its prostitution theme. 1993- Superstores Wal-Mart and K-Mart refuse to carry Nirvana’s album, “In Utero”, because they
It's Time to Stop the Censorship Music with Explicit Lyrics Music with explicit lyrics or content started having black and white parental advisories on them in 1994 (http://www.riaa.org/Parents-Advisory-4.cfm). Are these labels necessary? Is controversial music molding our society and causing teenagers to turn to drugs? Is censorship necessary to protect the youth of our nation. Generally, younger people are against censorship on this issue. Music is an outlet and even an anti-drug for many
persuasiveness of the medium. Because radio and TV come into the house, and may be heard or seen by unsupervised children, the government feels a special responsibility to protect the American people. As Herbert Hoover said to, "doublegaurd them." This is the main reason why the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) independent agency of the United States government was created in 1934. The function of the commission is to regulate interstate and foreign radio, television, wire, and cable communications
Over the second half of Semester One of 2016, I have been privileged to work as an Intern at Channel 31. In which time, whilst completing other studies, I have been exposed to various areas of the workplace of a functioning radio station. While mostly dealing in Ingest, the normalising and filing of footage for broadcast, I also dealt in scheduling, production and editing. In this Internship, currently eight weeks in, I have revealed to myself habits and a nature of approaching work I had not experienced
ever. Also I will talk about Wired communication which is one of the older technologies but now we have several different types of media forms on wired communications and they all do a different job. Wireless Technologies could be satellite links or Radio communication. They all have good and bad points to discuss. Wired Technology could include twisted pair, Fibre optic or broadband over power lines. Wireless communication has transformed the way we communicate to each other.
Click. On goes the television, off goes your mind. Click. Boring. Click. Seen it. Click. It will do. Barbara Ehrenreich’s argument that television is corrupting social society is valid for the once great mode of communication has become a couch potato breeding machine. The remote one holds in their hand not only controls the telly, but also their mind and actions. Barbara Ehrenreich characterized people in the 1980s in her book, entitled The Worst Years of Our Lives, as “couch potatoes”(28) that
There was a time when many reporters were content to give just entertainment to the public. Cosell believed that sports needed to be changed. Richard Lapchick viewed Cosell as a seminal figure in the industry. “While people may have wanted the escape sports provided, they also needed to hear the principles he spoke about” (Shapiro, 1995). Some of Cosell’s former colleagues admired his ability to elevate any event he covered into a major story. One of those former colleagues, Herb Granath, said
Vin Scully is considered the greatest broadcaster of all time to most Americans. He was the TV sportscaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers for 67 seasons and is considered the “voice of summer” to those living in Southern California. He also broadcasted several other sports on television, including football and golf and he has won many awards for his broadcasting career. Vin had a very sad but inspiring childhood.

New Technology of the 1920s In this day and age, it is difficult to imagine a world without radio, television, or penicillin. These are simply common things used everyday by people from all different walks of life, but many of these seemingly common technologies were not around prior to the 1920s. Many of these 1920s inventions still have a large impact on the daily lives of people around the world today. Without these inventions, many people could not live the same lives they do now, and many people
Radio Configuration Drones use Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters (TX) and receivers (RX) to send the information used to control the drone. Inside the radio, transmitters encode the digital data from the movements of sticks and switches into an electric current, which gets sent through wires to the radio’s antenna. There, the electric currents generate electromagnetic radiation, or radio waves. Waves with different amplitudes (heights) or frequencies (durations) carry different messages. (FM and
Our world has changed, we have changed. We are now virtual. The people of today are spending more time staring at a screen than anything else in their lives. According to data journalist Felix Richter, Americans are using electronic media for over eleven hours a day (Richter). And with the National Sleep Foundation recommending up to nine hours of sleep for adults per day, this leaves just four hours for people to shower, eat, socialize, read, think and do everything else that humans do on a daily
American society as a whole was more informed about current events, due to easy access of newspapers and radios in the 1920s, which helped in the spread of conspiracies about Earhart’s disappearance. the 1920s the first radios were used recreationally by the average American and eventually sold 5 million sets a year by 1929 (Musser). Despite high numbers of radio sales, there were many Americans who prefered to read news from newspapers (Musser). The success of the first “talkie newsreel” of Charles
News programmes have many key conventions which makes them distinctive in comparison to other types of programmes. One of the main conventions is that news programmes often feature presenters or anchors. This is a very common convention and is featured in most, if not all news programmes on TV. The presenters are the people who sit in the studio and read the news reports to the audience at home. An example is on BBC News. The presenters dress and speak very formally and they talk about hard news
Inspired by a true story, Radio Kennedy known as Cuba Gooding Jr. played in a sports illustrated movie by Gary Smith called “Radio”. James “Radio” Kennedy is a mentally disabled local man that became the team mascot and cheerleader during the first season with the football team (Rozen, 2003). Radio often wondered around the town of Anderson, South Carolina with a shopping cart filled with treasures. He walked around the High School of Hanna and watched the sport events, mainly football. He did not

In 1956 television was introduced in Australia. In just as little as 3 years it has skyrocketed and was already able to sustain itself. The introduction of television in Australia changed Australian’s in so many ways, one quite significant one being the way Australian’s chose to stay home over going out to the movies. The introduction of tv in Australia made many australians a lot more aware of American culture and exposed them to it more than they had been ever before. There was no denying that
The Effects of Watching Too Much TV Television has become one of the major entertainment providers in our modern life. It sits in the living room of about almost every home in the world and it is the one thing that most people like to come home to after a long day of work or school. Not only does it give us something to laugh or get scared at but it also provides us with valuable information about what is happening around our local community and around different places in the world.

The term mass communication was coined in the 1920s, with the initiation of countrywide radio networks, magazines, and newspapers which is has been spread among the general public. The delivery of information to a nationwide variety of people remains the main purpose of mass communications. Even though today mass communications are widely used as primarily because it is a satisfying exercise which may reward a person or company with brand and name recognition, directly increasing credibility.

The invention of the telephone was approximately 120 years ago. It can be considered one of the best inventions in the world. This device was created in 1871 and uses electrical signals to allow sound to travel long distances. It has changed and evolved from the first telephone that was based on the telegraph to nowadays where we have smart phones. Because of this invention, telephone companies were created. This device helps and permits people to communicate from one place to another, even
RECIPROCITY THEOREM If voltage is applied to terminals of an antenna A and the current is measured at another antenna B, then an equal current (bot amplitude and phase) will appear at terminals of antenna A if same voltage is applied to antenna B. Application of reciprocity theorem Equality of Directional Patterns Statement: 'The directional pattern of an antenna as a receiving antenna is identical to that when used as a transmitting antenna." Proof: The above mentioned antenna theorem is the outcome
