How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?
When media reports on social justice issues i have sometimes realised that only 1 side of the story is being shown. The media try to make and think the viewers to only judge their view on what is being shown, which could be from reliable or unreliable sources. Depending on how reliable the source is never believe everything you hear because it could be false and misleading. If you really want t find out the real story behind a particular social justice issue, it is good to watch different channels such as ABC and CNN to see of it matches what is being said on different media types. Also the Internet is a big source of information.
Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
It hasn’t been hard finding a social justice issue, but it has been hard finding a current social justice issue. It is hard becuae there are not many current reports about our groups social justice issue ” the death peanlty”.
Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
