Final conclusion.

What a project! It’s been a wild ride since February and to be honest it’s not going to end. I struggled in the beginning to really look at how the media is effecting the news it delivers, but I figured it out. Like I said in the presentation I really took two things from this project. First, the media won’t report a controversy in sports unless it deals with a mega star. There is no controversy without a mega star behind it. Second, it more about what’s not being reported as opposed to what’s being reported. This project has given me really opened my eyes to what the sports media is trying to portray when it comes to gender, class and an array of other issues. Whether they are not reporting on news that is news-worthy or if they are intentionally reporting something worng the media is not always fair with what is being reported. Looking at how the media reports stories is something everyone should do. Reading between the lines isn’t easy, but it definitely is doable. So in ending my advice is the following: watch for the stars and watch for what can’t be scene. Maybe, just maybe then one can see how the media is taking the news and creating a money making machine.
