READING ACTIVITY Mass Media T a s k: read the text and answer the questions given below. Mass media or mass means of communications are one of the most characteristic features of modern civilization. They play an important part in our lives and all people are united into one global community with the help of mass media. The press, radio and television inform us what is going on or happening in this world very fast and give us wonderful possibilities for education and entertainment. They also influence the way people see the world, inform them of current events and shape public opinions. So the most media people try to be fair and provide us with reliable information. Newspaper is an earliest kind of mass media and a publication that presents and comments on the news. The first newspapers were handwritten newssheets posted in public places. The earliest daily newssheet was «Acta Diurna» (Daily Events) which started in Rome in 59 B.C. The first printed newspaper was Chinese publication called «Dibao»(Ti-pao) started in A.700’s. It was printed from carved wooden 4

blocks. The first regularly published newspaper in Europe was «Avisa Relation» or «Zeitung», started in 1609. Newspapers cover complex news and stories of human interests in detail. Magazine is one of the major mass media. Magazine is a collection of articles and stories and it usually contains illustrations. The earliest magazines developed from newspapers and booksellers catalogs. Such catalogs first appeared during the 1600’s in France. In the 1700’s pamphlets published at regular intervals appeared in England and America. They were literary publications. One of the first British magazines «The Gentleman’s Magazine» was published from 1731 to 1914. The first American magazine was called the “American Magazine”, or “A Monthly View”. Radio is one of the popular mass media in the world and can broadcast information about the society. In the 1920’s radio has been seen primarily as a budding vehicle for music, humor and news, and music was the strongest programming form. The first radios were crystal sets built by individuals all over the country, and by 1921 stores were selling factory-made radios. Radio is wide spread for its portability. It means that radios can easily be carried around. People like listening to the radio on the beach or picnic, while driving a car or just walking down the street. Television, also called TV, is one of our most exciting and entertaining kind of mass media. It brings moving pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes. So we can see events in faraway places just sitting in the chair. The word «Television» comes from a Greek word meaning «far», and a Latin word meaning «to see», so the word «television» means «to see far». General Comprehension T a s k: Write the answers to these questions. 1. Why do mass media play an important role in our lives? 2. What was the earliest kind of mass media? 3. What are the names of the first newspapers? 4. What did magazines develop from? 5. When and where did the first magazines appear? 6. What is the reason for widespread use of radios? 7.

Task: read the text and render it. 10

Television is one of the most considerable and important inventions of humanity. In spite of some advantages, there are many arguments about its role in man’s life since its appearance. Nowadays television can not be “window on the world” because of its content. Today television shows people the only things that people must see, but it doesn’t show the whole truth. For example in March, 2010 all news told about the acts oft error in the Moscow underground. They said how many victims were because of it, but nobody said how many people were brought down by ambulance cars going to the place of the accident. Nobody said anything about this at all. Journalists lie for special purposes of some important people. They never criticize the government and its actions. That’s why citizens idealize authorities of the country. There are a lot of silly programs, which have a bad influence on people’s mind. Also there is some lechery on the TV, and children can see it unintentionally. But it is not the worst. Some cartoons for children strike even adult’s mind. What can children learn with modern cartoons? If old soviet cartoons learnt children kindness and friendship, modern ones can only show a silly speaking sponge or strange boys and girls. The main purpose of the majority of channels is to get more money. That’s why there are too many advertisements, which interrupt films and programs and annoy people. On the other hand among the great number of entertaining channels there are some cultural, sport and informative channels. Cultural channels show classic musical works (operas, ballets, concerts of classic music), feature films, interviews with cultural persons, theatre and film actors. Sport channels show different world competitions, championships. Informative channels show different places of the world. They let people who can not afford real trips all over the world see different cities and enjoy the sights of nature beauty. Certainly television has many disadvantages and advantages. Every person should decide what TV is for him. He himself chooses what to do: to spend time with relatives, friends and close people, to do something important and necessary or watch TV.

READING ACTIVITY The influence of Mass Media on people’s life Task: read the text and answer the questions given below. Mass media usually are thought of as sources of news and entertainment. They also carry messages of persuasion. Through the mass media, we learn almost everything we know about the world beyond our immediate environs. People need mass media to express their ideas widely. Without mass media, our expression would be limited to people within earshot and to whom we write e-mail messages. The heart of the media’s informing function lies in messages called news. The most powerful source of information and the main form of entertainment that affects people`s mind is the television. The most

14

important advantage is that TV helps us to relax after a hard day. Another advantage is that watching TV we can learn about different people`s customs and traditions. People like TV, because they can see everything with their own eyes. However, there are some disadvantages. Many people worry about violence on TV, because some programs show us how to kill, to rob and to shoot and it can break down the mentality of children. Another source of entertainment is the radio. Many people listen to it when they drive their cars, relax in the open air or when they do something about the house. It is like background for them. On the other hand, if you need to concentrate on something, it can hinder you. Also, sometimes our mind needs to listen to the silence and if we constantly listen to some noise, it will lead us to stress. Still, many people prefer newspapers and magazines. They publish a great deal of political stories, news items, stories of humorous and essay-type or profile-type articles that may be called human interest stories. Each story differently influences the reader, it depends on the type of the topic being covered and on the level of journalist’s skill. In my opinion, we do not need to believe to tabloids, because the majority of journalists write in some articles unbelievable information to intrigue readers. Furthermore, people see beautiful life in the colorful pictures of magazines and get upset that they have not the same. Nowadays more and more people become addicted to the Internet. Firstly, news appears on the screen as soon as things happen in real life and you do not have to wait for news time on TV. Secondly, it helps you in work, you can find everything you need. Despite of these advantages, there are many disadvantages. For example, in the Internet there are no any filters of information, pictures and videos, so children`s mind are not protected from this. Also, many teenagers do not break away from social networks and for this reason, they stop to communicate in real life. All in all, the mass media play an important role in our lives and inform us of what is going on in the world and gives us wonderful possibilities for education and entertainment. Without doubt, mass media really affect people`s life, health and mind. Of course, it has both positive and negative influence. The mass media are pervasive in our everyday lives. Almost all of them have an

15

entertainment component and there also can be a strong informational and persuasive element. General Comprehension Task: Write the answers to these questions. 1. Why do people need mass media? 2.

INDIVIDUAL READING The Role of Journalism in the Modern Society Pre-text question Is journalism an art or a science? Task: read the text and render it. You can`t but agree that journalism is a powerful force today, and its importance in our life is gradually increasing. It carries out various functions: informative, ideological, entertaining and many other functions. In my opinion, providing of information is a main aim of journalism. In fact, human`s life became easier due to it, and now you don`t need to overcome lengthy distances to learn the latest news. Besides, we often face the situation when it is necessary to be well informed about current events to take a right step and not to appear at the crossroads. For example, looking for a job, first of all, you try to understand if it meets your professional ambitions and material requirements. But, certainly, it is impossible to try all professions. That`s why various magazines and editions devoted to the problem of employment are popular nowadays. They help us to gain an understanding of merits and demerits of many professions. On the other hand, journalism helps us to keep up to date, because it is important for a modern person to keep pace with developing science. Such magazines as "Geo" or "the Russian Reporter" tell us not only about actual events and innovations in the world of science, but also about traditions, customs, national mentality of people. I also can`t but say that dialogue of a reader and a writing person is very important in modern journalism. For example, today many editions publish letters of their readers. People can express their opinions about published material. Some of them express their admiration about an article, underlining the topicality of the lifted problem and an ability of an author to show its essence. But the criticism also meets very often. Sometimes readers are rather conservative, and their manner of reasoning is quite superficial. But objective criticism is useful. It helps journalists to avoid similar 22

mistakes in future, because readers know better, what is interesting and important for them. It also gives people an opportunity to acquaint with various opinions and to generate their own. I also can`t but mention one the most important feature of journalism. Looking throw some magazine or newspaper, we often notice an article devoted, for example, to any kind of sports. The material can be written so interestingly that many years later, we will, possibly, name it the step which was the first on the way of our hobby. So I think that journalism can excite an interest in any theme and to form the Individuality. As I already said before, the main task of journalism is operative extending of information. It means that a journalist should be able to write articles in the shortest possible time not to the detriment of their quality. To master these skills you should practice every day, and the famous proverb "fool`s haste is no speed" is not appropriate here. After all, news is something that is actual only in the short-term period. You also can`t but agree that any journalists should have a ready wit. It is a great "weapon" in his hands which often help to come out victor from unforeseen situations. I`m also sure that it is extremely important for journalists to be humane. They should be able to think about other people, listen to them, forgetting about their own problems and cares. In the conclusions I would like to underline once more that journalism carries out many functions. They should be in a right balance with world`s requirements. That`s why I`m sure that for journalist it is necessary to possess not only professional skills, but also a number of qualities that require diligence and self-discipline.

READING ACTIVITY The qualities of good Mass Media Task: read the text and answer the questions given below. The media are a powerful linkage between the government and how people view their government. Good news moves from the media to individuals through complex, ever-changing interpersonal connections. Nowadays people cannot imagine their life without newspapers, websites, or television. But how to choose the best one for yourself and what are the qualities of good mass media? There are three main qualities: authentic information, orientation towards different audience, and censorship within the limits of reasonable. Authentic information, without any doubt, is in the first place because there is too much false information in gutter press now. As a rule, people buy a newspaper or watch TV to get some information. Great masses of people expect to learn something new or just do it for entertainment. But in both cases we would not be happy if it were just a waste of time. Honest reporters play a great role. They know people like stories about people, so any time an issue can be personified. When 26

there is nothing to write about, some of them invent "shocking stories" about famous people. In the end, celebrities often go to the court, and the newspaper or the TV-channel has to pay a great amount of money. As a result, their reputation will be spoiled. But for the public, television is the preferred source of political news. Orientation towards different levels of population is also very important. Different people prefer different types of information and coverage of different themes. For example, as for TV, children watch it in the morning, teenagers at about 5 p.m., and adults from 7 p.m. till midnight. As for newspaper, elderly people prefer to do brain-twisters or puzzles while serious people usually read political news and the rates of currency. Then, you should remember that if you start to sell your product, you should fix a normal price because if a lot of people want to read it but it is too expensive, they will not be able to do it. Some people prefer to read scandalous stories about celebrities, others want to read more serious topics. People get excited about these issues because of the fundamental values involved. But no one likes unscrupulous press. If the audiences find any defamation about scandals, they quit reading this issue forever. Media people know that their audiences like scandalous stories which is a fact that trivialize political news. Censorship also plays a serious role. In the last century it was too strict, but now it is OK. The most censoring requires that manuscripts be read by governmental agents before printed or aired. People like conflict too because it involves change whether to do something differently. All news involves change, and conflict is always a signal to the kind of change what is most worth reporting. Conflict is generally a useful indicator of newsworthiness that is for good Mass Media. So publishers should not forget about it and filter their information before it appears in press. In conclusion, it is not so difficult to find the qualities of good mass media, it is much more difficult to follow them and create a scrupulous newspaper, an unbiased TV-channel, or a serious website.

READING ACTIVITY Putin will not hand Snowden to U.S. Task: read the text and answer the questions given below. The escapades of US whistleblower and fugitive Edward Snowden continue. Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Tuesday that the former CIA worker was in the transit area of an airport in Moscow. Mr. Putin had earlier said Mr. Snowden had not crossed any Russian borders, which proved to be true with Snowden being in transit. Snowden seems to have given the international media the slip while in Moscow.

find out after takeoff that he had not boarded the aircraft. Reports are that Snowden is heading for Ecuador, which has granted him asylum. The Snowden affair is stoking up diplomatic tensions between the USA, and China and Russia. Washington is furious that China allowed Snowden to leave Hong Kong for Russia earlier this week. US Secretary of State John Kerry is now pressing hard for Russia to extradite Snowden back to the US. Mr. Putin told reporters: "Mr. Snowden has not crossed the state's border, and therefore does not need a visa. Furthermore, any accusations against Russia of aiding him are ravings and rubbish." He explained that the US and Russia had not signed any extradition treaty and that he would not hand Snowden over to the US. Mr. Kerry acknowledged this but said, "there are standards of behaviour between sovereign nations". (27th June, 2013) COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS Task: Write the answers to these questions. 1.

READING ACTIVITY Facebook "selfies" can harm relationships Task: read the text and answer the questions given below. A study from the U.K. indicates that people who post too many "selfies" (photos of themselves) on Facebook and similar social networks risk damaging their real-life relationships. Wikipedia says a selfie is "a genre of self-portrait photograph…typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror." The report, from Birmingham University, analysed the impact of these photos on the relationships of 508 participants. The study found that excessive photo sharing and sharing certain types of photos makes almost everyone like you less. Head researcher Dr David Houghton said: "People, other than very close friends and relatives, don't seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves." Wikipedia explains the rise in popularity of selfies. It says: "In December 2012, Time magazine noted that selfie was among its top 10 buzzwords of 2012." Celebrities such as singers Rihanna and Justin Bieber are famous for uploading hundreds of pics of themselves. Many people who post selfies will be surprised, perhaps 59

shocked, by the Birmingham research. Wikipedia explains: "The appeal of selfies comes from…the control they give selfphotographers over how they present themselves. Many selfies are intended to present a flattering image of the person, especially to friends whom the photographer expects to be supportive. The research may suggest the exact opposite is true. COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS Task: Write the answers to these questions. 1. Who risks damaging their real-life relationships? 2. What genre of photograph is a selfie? 3.

READING ACTIVITY Songs One in five songs "advertises" alcohol Task: read the text and answer the questions given below. The songs young people listen to could be encouraging them to drink more alcohol. This is the conclusion of a study into the extent to which lyrics contain references to drinking. Researchers from the John Moores University in Liverpool, England assert that public health warnings on liquor may be of diminishing value because of the prevalence of terms surrounding alcohol in pop songs. The study found that one in five songs in the UK music charts contains references to intoxicating beverages. This figure is double that from a decade ago. They also found that songs from 1981 contained relatively few references to alcohol. John Moores attributed some of the rise to an influx of US-imported songs. Researchers said the exposure of young people to alcohol in the media is "a major concern". Professor Karen Hughes warned that references to alcohol are a "form of advertising and marketing for alcoholic products." She said: "Public health concerns are already focused on the impacts of alcohol advertising on the drinking behaviour of young people, yet the growing reference to alcohol in popular music could mean that positive, alcohol-promoting messages are reaching much larger audiences." Dr. Hughes added: "Health and other professionals should be vigilant to ensure that popular music does not become a medium for reinforcing and extending cultures of intoxication and alcohol-related harm." (5th October, 2013)
