RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic

Given all the information I could find about my topic that I have pick, I have a slight feeling that i might have to broaden my research topic. My first research topic had to do with mass media and how it can be manipulated. I might have to change it slightly. I was thinking that I could combine another topic such as censorship. I want to research about the government's influence and control over the media. Also I am looking at different types media and different events throughout time that have been know to have conspiracy theories with it.

RJA #3a: Exploring Research Topic

- Columbia Journalism Review

This particular website gave me information about which major corporations own broadcasting networks, publishing companies, and other sources of media exchange. For example, Viacom Inc. owns the some major cable networks such as MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon.

- From Wikipedia (Media Manipulation)

From this page, I found that media manipulation hits on many different levels. Levels such as distractions. When I say distraction, I mean using other news stories to distracted the audience from the more important stories at hand. Where as this leads to censorship.
