    The media influences audiences, especially children, through advertising, repetition of messages, use of bright colors, and emphasis of certain images. Advertisers target children with ads to make them nag parents for products. Television can also influence children negatively by exposing them to violent content at a young age. While news provides important information, it tends to focus on negative stories and can promote stereotypes. The media ultimately aims to control how audiences, particularly children, think through these various techniques.

    The Mind Control of Media

    By Dillon Lee
    English 1st period
    The media
    influences us
    by posting
    things that
    affect how their
    audiences think
    and behave.
    INTRO TO
    MEDIA
    WHAT IS MEDI
    Media is generally
    the various means
    of communication.
    For example,
    television, radio, and
    the newspaper are
    different types of
    media.
    Advertising
    Advertising is a type of
    communication that wants to
    pursue the audience to take action
    on products and services.
    There are many ways of
    advertising. Some examples are:
    Television advertising
    Radio advertising
    Press advertising
    Online advertising
    In- Store advertising
    repetition
    • Repetition is the
    act of repeating
    • Repetition is the
    whole key to
    advertising
    • Repetition is
    what helps
    things be more
    memorable
    The media controls
    .
    us by attacking us
    at a young age
    Children
    represent great
    targets for
    advertisers and
    marketers
    across the
    world.
    BOLD COLORS
    ADVERTISERS USE BRIGHT AND
    Colors generally attract
    attention and have a
    strong affect on
    everyone. It brings inner
    thoughts, feelings, and
    makes things more
    memorable.

    • Many companies
    invest millions to find
    out which colors go
    well with their projects

    • Academic researches
    show that color is the
    first characteristic
    that children can
    distinguish

    • Research indicates
    that children's eyes
    may not be adapted to
    see dull, dim colors
    very well or at all.
    One way the media controls us is
    how they spoil us as children
     Advertisers
    purposely post
    images that
    attract children
    to their
    products. This
    makes them
    pester their
    parents until
    they buy what
    they want.
    The television is a strong
    influence to how kids act
     Children have become more
    interested in cartoons over many
    years
     It has become a primary action in
    some lives
     Kids watch a lot of TV at a young
    age where some shows are violent
    and can teach the wrong things
     Kids who watch too much cartoons
    on television are more likely to have
    mental and emotional problems
     Since the television can be a big
    part of some kids lives, they start to
    imitate what they see on screen

    The media emphasizes many things.

     Whether its people or food


    the media always finds its
    way on emphasizing
    something.
     When you think about a model
    you’ll probably picture he/she very
    good looking because the media
    tends to emphasizes the looks of
    people
     Some photographers have
    explained how they edit the pictures
    of models to emphasize the body
    parts and attract audiences.
    $ELLING LIES FOR MONEY
    When you see a McDonald's ad, you’ll
    think the food is fresh, healthy , and
    have good value, but in reality it
    doesn’t.

    When you watch an Axe body spray


    commercial you might think that
    spraying yourself with their product
    will immediately get you a date with
    beautiful models, but in reality it
    probably won’t.

    The media can control how we think


    by giving us emphasized images of
    how some things should look.
    H E N E W S
    T
    Rely on the news
     One of the strongest
    ways we get our
    information is from
    the news. It tells us the
    important things that
    are going around us
    and on the world.
    Negative Results
     The problem of the
    news is that it
    usually reports
    the negative things
    that go around us.
    This can control
    your mind and
    make you feel that
    the world is bad.
    STEREOTYPES
     Another problem
    that the news could
    bring is
    stereotypes. For
    example, you could
    misjudge a race if
    you see them
    commit more
    crimes than others.
