Blogs I visited

I post links to blogs of my classmates that I have found interesting.

http://meidapeto.blogspot.com/ by Peter Cizek is a blog focusing on issues of privacy - or more specifically the lack of it - in the contemporary media. Peter shows concern of how the contemporary media steal out privacy.

http://muslimedia-mls.blogspot.com/ This is a blog by Martina Slozilova that focuses on the portrayal of Muslim in the Media. Since 9/11, the portrayal of Muslims in the Western media has been mostly negative. This blog got me thinking about the stereotyping and also about certain connection with my topic, the military. As I stated at the beginning, I focus mostly on the Western military simply because there is most coverage. Because of that, I started thinking that maybe those media that are too pozitive in their portrayal of the military are too negative in their portrayal of the Muslims, because of contemporary places of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. And also vice verse, positive portrayal of Muslims might be counterbalanced by negative portrayal of military. That is something I may explore in future posts.

http://akvablog.wordpress.com/ This blog by Anna Kvasnickova shows how advertising become a natural part of our lives and it focues on "Pro social advertising", the ads that do not sell any specific product or service but serve awareness. I specifically liked the video by Bristol Palin about teenage pregnancy and the difficulties connected with the.

http://21070-censored.blogspot.com/ Michal Klicnik writes about censorship on the Internet. One of his examples is China. I learned an interesting thing about the paid government employees who visit websites with negative information about the government and write there government-positive comments. That was something both interesting and frightening.

http://pete-stejskal.blogspot.com/ Finally Pete Stejskal focues on the possible end of the print media as a medium. The blog focuses on the loses of sells of print newspapers (and also magazines, which I found surprising) that are being replaced by Internet media.

I hope you will visits these blogs and leave a comment. If you like this blog, you may like those as well. :-)
