Media Ownership Research

Media texts are profit motivated?
Media texts are profit based, this shows and tells the audience that they don’t care about anything except the profit they make. If a product is advertised they may make the product seem better than it is therefore the information given is misleading. They do this to suit the product to their appropriate audiences to again make profit and attract a lot of consumers. Furthermore it makes the brand seem better and more popular. If the advertisement looks good then people would buy the product based on how well it is advertised. If an advertisement is made well then other people may be convinced by others that they want to get that person to promote their product or service.
The question is if a product is misleading it may be banned by the ASA therefore people would want to know why and this gains a lot of publicity which will make the product or service become more recognisable.
Which media companies do you think could be accused of having too much power and control in our society?
Media texts are used to give a product a description and this is made to be appealing so that is convinces consumers to buy a certain product or service. Power is everything if you have power you are going to be the most iconic in media furthermore you will make the most profit and be more wanted by people instead of the competitors as their work is to a high quality standard. The government and the ASA decide what the consumers see and the advert will be banned if not suitable for people who may watch the advertisement furthermore if the information is misleading then it will also be banned.
TV has a huge strength of visualizing the content. By viewing the information, the audience gets the complete grasp of the event. Whenever there is any match or some popular event, then the people first try to find that in TV.
We can also use phone to send or receive any information on the go which is very appealing to many people if their lying in bed or on the way to work they can get the news and be updated every several minutes.
We can refer to the internet for things we cannot find on the internet now days it is quick and easy to access. Like TV, it provides immediate updates about anything. We can broadcast some news through a powerful our tool, blogs. There are other social networks like Twitter, Facebook, through which we can interact with other people staying in totally different parts of the world.
