INFORMATION MUST COMPLETE

Over claims are made, or implications made in headlines or ticklers. Ever more advertising views for attention.

EXAGGERATION

Our media seem obsessed with “pushing the envelope”, which often means moving to ever more excess in search of attention.

INFORMATION ONE-UPMANSHIP

In a world where information is a commodity, information that can be positioned as scarce, exclusive, or secret will have more value that common information. Thus, we see everywhere,“The 10 secrets of X, “Exclusive interview,” “What Y doesn’t want revealed.” “Tonight, A special.”

SCARCITY

The first media outlet to cover an issue often defines its terms, context, and attitudes surrounding it. The first statement often becomes the permanent concept. How the issue will be viewed, what the alternatives are, etc.

THE EARLY WORD GETS THE PERM

The fallacy or false dilemma is often used, where one side is presented as highly undesirable and the other as attractive. Photographs do not speak for themselves. What happened before and what happened after? Often pictured are not worth a thousand words, the pictures are ambiguous until explained by words.

THE FRAME MAKES THE PAINTING

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT SO AS YOU BRAIN

ALL IDEAS ARE SEEN AS CONTROVERSIAL

Old master paintings are in demand, hence art fraud. Designer luggage is in demand, hence product counterfeiting.

ANYTHING IN GREAT DEMAND WILL BE COUNTERFEITED

Many people believe that no accusation would be made without any basis, so that if an accusation is made, it must be true, at least in part. Many people are too busy to check anything out, so they just assume that accusations are valid.

TO ACCUSE IS TO CONVICT

Television is mostly pictorial, partly aural, and very little textual. Therefore, the visual stories are the ones emphasized: fires, chases, disasters.

THE MEDIUM SELECTS THE MESSAGE

The experimenter effect is the tendency for the expectations, actions, or biases of the researchers to affect or influence the responses which participants produce, and therefore at least partially produce the observed differences.- Lynne Henry

THE EXPERIMENTER EFFECT OF MEDIA: THE PRESENCE OF THE MEDIA CREATES THE STORY

Samuel Johnson, an 18th century writer, said that “no one but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.” Today, some still write to inform, while there seems to be more emphasis on persuasion and spin. And more people than ever write to gratify their egos, keep their jobs, or make money.

YOURS IS NOT TO REASON WHY; YOURS IS TO BUY AND BUY

The information we receive comes to us filtered, selected, slanted, verbally changed, and sometimes fabricated. what is left out is often even more important that what is included.
