TAILIEUCHUNG - The supposed and the real role of mass media in modern democracy

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed this guide in furtherance of its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, Public Law 107-347. NIST is responsible for developing standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements, for providing adequate information security for all federal agency operations and assets, but such standards and guidelines shall not apply to national security systems. This guideline is consistent with the requirements of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Section 8b (3), (Securing Agency Information Systems) as analyzed in A-130, Appendix IV: Analysis of Key Sections. Supplemental. | The supposed and the real role of mass media in modern democracy Agner Fog Working paper 2004-05-20 Abstract. A range of different scientific disciplines are explored for what they might contribute to an understanding of the economic and other factors that influence mass media and how the media in turn influence the political climate and the democratic process in modern democracies. The contributions from the different disciplines are combined into an integrated model of a causal network. This tentative model shows that fierce economic competition forces the media to produce entertaining stories that appeal to people s emotions. Preferred topics include danger crime and disaster which the media select in ways that make the audience perceive the world as more dangerous than it is. This influences the democratic process significantly in the direction of authoritarianism and intolerance. More generally the competitive news media select and frame stories in ways that hamper the ability of the democratic system to solve internal social problems as well as international conflicts in an optimal way. These effects are unintended consequences of the structure of the media market. The empirical support for each element in the theory as well as for the integrated model as a whole is discussed in an appendix.

They are also the watchdogs that we rely on for uncovering errors and wrongdoings by those who have power. It is therefore reasonable to require that the media perform to certain standards with respect to these functions and our democratic society rests on the .
