How the Media Treat and Report the Minority Essay
The topic I chose is aboutHow the media treat and report the minority group of good deal?. My look problem formulated from this topic isWhy the media treated and reported the Zhang GuorongLeslies demolition and Foxconn workers suicide so differently?. Leslie is a famous actor in Hong Kong and due to many apprehensions he jumped from a hotel grammatical whirl and suicided in April1st,2003.After the media reported his suicide grandly, his fans all over the world felt truly dreary for him and held his ending anniversary very April 1st. The Foxconn is a big factory and in year 2010, 14 workers jumped from the building and suicided. At first, the media didnt pay much attention to report it until the number of the suicide kept increasing. The media reported that because of the full-size amount of the same work the kept doing day by day, they felt their life meaningless and as a result, they chose to suicide. According to the internet(Baidu) and likewise my social experience, the media took Leslies suicide more seriously than the Foxconn workers suicide.When the public thought about Leslies suicide, most of them felt truly pity about his death and will memorize him every year. But when came to Foxconns suicide, most people only felt sorry for them and felt angry about the Foxcoons rules, obviously there is no memorize activities for the died workers held by the pubic. The reason why both media and the public took the death of Lesliea famous celebrity more seriously is that the workers suicided in Foxconn are migrant workerswhich we called the social minority group. As we know, migrant workers are special group of people came into being during he past 30 years in China, millions of farmers sons with dreams left their countryside and came into the city, became a new important group of labors. They have low salary, living in bad accommodations and cant enjoy the same welfare as the citizensBaidu internet Encyclopedia). People care more about and wonder more to the celebrities rather than the migrant workers.In other words, migrant workers are just like the fathom level people who dont deserve to get others attention. The reason I think my research is important is that on the one hand, I can remark out that how the clubhouse cares about the minority group like migrant workers, on the other hand, I can find out the relationship between media and the public through the research. In my opinion, the result of my research shows that the society assuage not care about the minority group much and this is what we should improve. Also, the relationship between the media and the public is mingled relatedthe media influenced the publics interest and their focus, the public also influenced the media as well.My research came from the media and the journalism subject area which is belongs to my majorcommunication. As a communication student, I want to know more about the media nowadays. During class, teacher told me that the media and the reporte rs should be watchdogsselect what should be reported and what shouldnt, and also give the truth to the public(Agenda setting and the medias construction of reality). So I want to prove that the media should not only give the truth to the public, but also should care more about the society minority group through my research.My methods to collect the primary selective information in the field is, first, surf the internet to look through the events and make sure my information is only right. Second, I clarify the information and judge it critically whether it is useful to my research. Third, analyzing the information and find out which is suitable for my report and mark where the quotations came from. At last, I select the quotation I can use and endue it in to my report.
