Interested in more mass media issues? Great! Then I recommend...

Have you had enough of love and romance - in media, of course? If the answer is yes, please do continue to read. 

Here are another blogs, which I enjoyed reading, and you might enjoy them too. All of them are somehow related to the mass media world and its influence on various kinds of topics. 

• Media Stereotyping - Girls and Women (link)

This is a blog by Hoang. She concentrates of the (mostly stereotyped) image of girls and women in mass media including news, entertainment and advertisements. She claims that:

media "obtains a higher ability to control people or influence the way people act and think and form the world's perception itself, a single person contends resolutely with finding his/her true and unique identity and self understanding even more difficult."

I agree with such a statement and recommend her blog for those of you, who are interested in stereotypes in mass media.

• Privacy and Social Networking (link)

This blog is written by Seonghee. Her topics is how is social networking taking care about its users privacy. I found it interesting and useful, because we are all users of more than one social network. Do we really care about what happens with our private information? Do we know what is happening to it now? Find out and check Seongee's blog! I strongly recommend it! :)

• Impact of Digital Technology on Children's Moral and Social Decision-making (link)

My third recommendation is a blog by Julie. Her topic is how are children affected by digital technology and how this affects their moral and social decision-making. I found it very interesting and important issue. Our generation (if you are still - not only feel - young) has been also affected by media in the early age. Visit Julie's blog if you are interested in how you might be affected by digital technology, or how your (even future) kids will be most probably affected by it too. Interesting information!

• Media, Technology and Society (link)

The next blog I would like to recommend to you is written by Francisco. His main goal is to make the readers aware of the rise of technology. He states that:

"It is more common to see more and more people using technology to communicate between themselves."

And in my opinion, he is right. It is not necessarily a bad thing or habit. We just need to become aware of this trend and most ideally find a solution for our "technology obsessed society." Visit Francisco's blog to find more!

• Media Violence (link)

The fifth blog I would recommend to visit is written by Hajar. She concentrates on how is violence presented in media and most importantly, how are we affected by it. She presents the current debate, on the other hand with people who would like to regulate violence on TV and other media to protect people, and children in particular. However, there is another point of view of those, who see any regulation as a slippery slope of censorship. What do you think? Not sure? Form your position on Hajar's blog!
