Corporate Media vs. Democratization of Journalism

"As the companies duel, countries and communities often find themselves in the crossfire. Like all conflicts, the media war leaves a trail of victims and marginalised peoples."

Corporate media is a term which refers to a system of mass media production, distribution, ownership, and funding which is dominated by corporations and their CEOs.

Corporate media is projected through companies like NBC, ABC, New York Times, etc.

The problem with corporate media is that it is completely filtered for your ears and eyes. Take the New York Times for example. One of the most powerful jobs in this company is the Editor. The editor is who chooses what stories get published. If in New York, the mayor is buying drugs, gambling and buying prostitutes, we won't hear of it, even though we don't a man like that running our city. There are reasons why we will never learn about him and one is because of the editor. If you were the mayor of a city, wouldn't you befriend the person that could make or break your image? Basically, the corporate media shows only what they want you to see, not what you want to see.

Democratization of Journalism is a term which refers to the modern mass of media spread. The news may tell you one thing, but the freedom of the internet now allows us to permit new, closer and deeper access to more "efficient" information. So in the same picture as the editor and the mayor, someone perhaps caught or took a picture of the mayor handling his dirty work.

"My Panic Falls on Deaf Ears!"

When speaking of Genocide, being voiceless is a huge issue, within North Korea in particular. According to the United Nations, since 2004 to May of 2014, 1.6 million have died in North Korea, due to purges and concentration camps. If that’s not alarming enough for you, listen to this: these conditions bestowed upon those in North Korea are statistically speaking very similar, if not worse than those Hitler bestowed upon the Jews in Nazi Germany. Michael Kirby, head of a three-member U.N. panel that spent a year investigating the abuses, said what the North Korean Gov. is doing isn’t genocide. It’s not? How is a million people dead not news? Many Americans believe that since genocide does not happen in our country makes it not our problem. And I am here to tell you that is a lie. The "Trail of Tears" happened in our country. So genocide is very much our issue. According to Lilian Anderson, interviewed in 2011 on Sequoyah.edu says “the Native had to walk; all the old people that were too weak to walk anyway and carry the food and the blankets which they allowed to have." When speaking of the Armenian Genocide, it was a time, much like the U.S today, when the entire nation faced economic struggles. The Turkish government came into Armenia, made all the men leave their families to go “work” in “factories” to bring in revenue for the nation and their families. After weeks, Turkish soldiers returned to retrieve the mothers and children. Of course they asked about their husbands and fathers. They were told then the men were still “working” and that they are being relocated closer to them for the time being. Now the woman and children walked for hundreds of miles. Meanwhile, the men that were “working” were being slaughtered. We have got to find a new way to think about Genocide, because we have done a terrible job with stopping genocide in the 20th century. From the Armenian Genocide of 1914 to Nazi Germany in WWII, Cambodia in 1978, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995 and of course Rwonda in 1994. Now, we are deep into a new century, with genocide still happening. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
