Academic Research project

The topic I am interested in is concussions in the NFl. I believe that the media has taken this way out of proportion, and has ruined the game of football. So I want to show you how media has changed the rules because of their reporting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FEWyLfLAuA

Media ethics/ law

The one I looked at included libel and the 1st amendment. This article just went on talking about how they want to change the libel laws and that it could infringe the first amendment and also that because of the law reporters might not want to touch some of the stories that come out.

In this the propaganda that is shown is as nauseam and beautiful people. It does so because this ad repeatedly has Lebron say, "What should I do." It is repeated many times. Beautiful people because they use well known Lebron James to sell Nike products.

Internet

• Crewster. It is a is a social networking website that offers working members of the film industry a place to connect with each other for the purpose of finding employment.

• The social networking site that has helped me out is facebook. It helped me out when I forgot a homework assignment. I was able to talk to a friend and have them give me the homework that way.

Question: Does media have a big impact on our society?
Answer: Most certainly does.

Movies

My favorite movie from 2009 would have to be The Blind Side. I like this movie so much because of the story. It showed a kid who really came from nothing and he was given a chance to get out of it and he did. My favorite movie of all time is Friday Night Lights. This is a great movie, and i can watch it whenever. I love how in the end they lose and it breaks away from the "hollywood" endings. I saw both of these movies in movies and at home.

Magazines

Proposal: LFL (Lingerie Football league)

Concept: This idea is different from other magazines because it is one of its own and there is no magazine covering this sport. This magazine would be like a maxim and a football magazine together. There would be pictures in lingerie and articles about the games that the girls play in.

Readers: The readers would be men usually around the age of sixteen to the age of thirty. So the young male, who is interested in sports and the opposite sex.

Five advertisers would have to be car dealers, insurance companies, food companies, the National Football League, clothing companies, and watch companies.

Five articles that would be in the premier issue would be one a article introducing the game to everyone and describing what to look for, an article on a big game, a article on a certain girl and photos on her, an article that is just B.S. and funny thats sole purpose is for laughs, and then an article looking forward to the next weeks games.

The cover of the magazine would have either a team of the league or a girl of the league on the cover. It will be very colorful. It also will include the topics that are talked about in the magazine on the cover.
