  3. On Common Ground-The Fourth Estate View the video. As your teacher pauses the presentation, consider what you have seen as you answer these questions.

  4. QUESTIONS 0:00-3:00 In the 1950s and 1960s where did most people get their news? With the growth of more national news magazines, newspapers, and 24 hour cable news channels, how has this affected how opinions are presented? In the past, news media did not have to make a profit to stay in business. Today they do: how does this affect what they print or broadcast?

  5. QUESTIONS 3:00-6:00 Define sensationalism in the news media. Give an example of sensationalism you might see on a news broadcast. Why is there more sensationalism in the news media today? What does the phrase mean “If it bleeds, it leads” ?

  6. QUESTIONS 6:00-9:00 The video claims that “a free press is essential to a democratic society.” Do you agree? Defend your position. Who decides what messages are printed in newspapers or broadcast on TV news shows? What can you infer about the power of this person to control media messages?

  7. QUESTIONS 9:00-12:00 What is a “sound bite”? Are political speeches written to produce sound bites? Explain why or why not. Why is covering the White House considered so important? What does the White House press secretary do (what is his job)?

  8. QUESTIONS 12:00-15:00 One reporter says the best way to cover the White House is to cover around the White House. Explain what he meant by this statement. What was going on in the 1960s and 1970s that made the press’s role as “watchdog” more important?

  9. QUESTIONS 15:00-18:00 What is the “credibility gap” as it was presented in the video? How does it affect the audience when they realize the government or the media have lied to them? The video states we have gone from objective media to critical media. What does this mean?

  10. QUESTIONS 18:00-21:00 The video says that the press has become ferocious about covering political figures, such as members of Congress, and this makes people reluctant to run for public office. Given the intense attention candidates receive, often negative, would you choose to run for office? Explain.

  11. QUESTIONS 21:00-24:00 What is libel? What is malice? A landmark Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, held that if you are a public figure, not only must you prove the statements about you are false, you must prove malice as well (malicious intent). Why was this decision harmful? Journalism is a competition based on speed, according to the video. What can you infer about the affect this has on messages we read or see?
