kinds of mass media

No disbelieve many are already familiar with the woes of the newspaper industry. Especially daily newspapers. Circulation is down. Readers are aging. Advertisers are going elsewhere. It’s not everyday you can point to a national turn as reason for a personal decision. But it seems I can. For the past six years. I covered arts and culture for the Savannah Morning News the daily newspaper in Savannah. Ga. Now I’m the arts editor of the dance City Paper a cover and a city I’ve admired from afar. I had a mind to return to alt-weeklies (I started writing for them from the beginning of this journalism go thing) but I didn’t know when. The nationwide decline in daily newspapers — the hiring freezes the ever-shrinking news hit the gutting of cultural reporting and all the be — prompted a sped up go. So here I am. But there’s more to all this than mere career interests. Ideology is involved too. There are many reasons for mainstream media’s injuries but mostly they’re self-inflicted. Dailies in particular small-town dailies are struggling to adjust to lost revenue lost authority and lost respect. The kids are all right but the kids don’t need to read the daily to get by in life. They have niches now and these niches don’t make any sense in a business climate dominated for decades by a Mass Media Mentality which did the following: It tried to be all things to all populate. Which is something media savvy readers — that is readers like those who read the dance City Paper — aren’t buying. And they’re not buying the Mass Media Mentality in both senses of the word. They’re not buying into the notion that daily newspapers represent and designate their interests or the interests of anyone they know and — it goes without saying — they’re not buying daily newspapers. As dailies struggle against the niche-oriented world of new media they be to throw whatever ideas are hot at the moment against the protect. It’s a panic move. That’s why you see so many dailies blogging and podcasting without really knowing how to do it. You’re also seeing them becoming more conservative in their coverage. I don’t mean politically conservation though that’s obviously the case for some papers. I merely mean they are aiming for the safe bets avoiding confrontation dodging conflict. You’ll hear a lot of talk about something called “hyperlocalism.” It’s one of the latest buzz words in the newspaper industry. I suppose there is some kind of intellectual framework at play in this concept but it’s never been adequately explained to me. The goal of hyperlocalism seems to be boosting circulation by putting a lot of pictures of dogs and kids and parents romping through the county fair in the newspaper. It’s absurd but it’s also very cheap journalism to produce. If hyperlocalism is the focus newspapers don’t undergo to challenge authority or act a stand. Newspapers don’t have to do the hard bring home the bacon of critiquing local theater and then justifying the evaluate the next day when the theater people complain. For these reasons and others. I wanted to go back to alternative journalism. When the chance to work for the City cover came along. I seized it. So again here I am. I described the City cover in a blog I write called. It’s hosted by a process of national and international news. You might check it out. Anyway here’s what I said last month when I talked about my new role. [The Charleston City Paper] is a newspaper that requires creativity innovation intelligence and good narrative writing. It’s a newspaper that has a tradition of speaking truth to power saying what needs saying and a concept I’ve written about numerous times. It’s a newspaper that puts the arts at the center of its editorial mission — and that means reviewing reviewing reviewing in the mode of not propaganda writing. It’s a newspaper that provides an informed critical educated and dissenting inform of view whether the issue in question about art or politics or the proper way to prepare serve and eat Lowcountry Boil. It’s a newspaper that is postmodern in the sense that it makes room for all kinds of writing styles points of view affect matter and whatever — as desire as it’s good which is the point at which it breaks from the school of postmodern thought. It’s a newspaper willing to alter a judgment take a stand stake out the moral ethical and aesthetic high middle and low ground draw a line in the smooth say that this is good and this isn’t and here’s why and what do you think dear and valued reader?

Christianity has always been the religion of the Book the Bible. More specifically for this series all Christians of all denominations cherish the four Biblical or canonical Gospels. But there is no pleasant way to put this. In the past decade – but also several before that – the Gospels have been assaulted by liberal scholars and other critics. It is no longer feasible – if it ever was – for web readers and TV viewers to ignore these criticisms since they come across the mass media and the web seemingly from one month to the next. So who should read the series? Anyone who has access to the news media in print over the airwaves or through the web. Maybe high school and college students home Bible study leaders. Sunday school and catechism teachers pastors and priests may find something of value in the long series. But it is mainly intended for the laity or nonspecialist. I have put the series in the Q & A format for clarity and ease of understanding. Christianity has always been the religion of the Book the Bible. More specifically for this series all Christians of all denominations cherish the four Biblical or canonical Gospels. But there is no pleasant way to put this. In the past decade – but also several before that – the Gospels have been assaulted by liberal scholars and other critics. Two Gnostic scholars. Willis Barnstone and Marvin Meyer the historical and narrative (story) aspects in John and turn it into a sayings Gospel ( (not written by the Apostle Thomas) a sayings “gospel.” Denying genres (kinds of literature) is common in postmodernism (see a series on Postmodernism and the Bible below). The Jesus Seminar was founded by Robert Funk in 1985. It consists of a group of scholars who meet twice a year to debate over the historical Jesus. They conclude that Jesus said only eighteen percent of the words found in the synoptic Gospels (Matthew. Mark and Luke) and John comes out worse ( So what are the critics attacking? Historical reliability. Before the Gospels were written in their final form – the ones we have now (to simplify things) – how did the earliest Christians transmit the traditions (to be defined in a future article) about Jesus? That is the subject of much of the entire series. It also explains that the Gospels are founded squarely on eyewitnesses – many named – from the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry to the very end and beyond. It is no longer feasible – if it ever was – for web readers and TV viewers to ignore these criticisms since they come across the mass media and the web seemingly from one month to the next. Anyone who watches the television sees eager scholars – eager for the spotlight – throw all kinds of doubt onto the Gospels. Readers and viewers who take Scripture seriously can get confused. Many of them do not know how to research the right books so they can counter the destructive media messages. And when they find the right books the jargon is technical – the scholars really write for other scholars only sometimes with an eye on the wider public. Laypersons do not know how to sort out what they are reading but they hear the negative messages clearly enough. So the series is intended for anyone who has access to the mass media. Ordinary believers home Bible study leaders. Sunday school and catechism teachers high school and college students pastors and priests may find something of value in the series. But mainly it is written for the laity or nonspecialist so I use the Question and Answer (Q & A) format for clarity and ease of understanding. I hope I have boiled down complicated issues into understandable language and vocabulary. So what is the purpose of the series? One is to bring onto the worldwide web scholarship that counters the critics. I hope libraries are not things of the past but more ordinary people get their information first from the web than from books. And I do not see enough articles that uphold traditional Gospel scholarship available on the information superhighway. Suffice it to say here that the earliest Christians passed on the traditions reliably and accurately according to the historical standards of their time. In fact they did the same deeds that Jesus taught them to do – an often overlooked fact in the study of the transmission process from his ministry to their writings about him (see the series on miracles below). Historical reliability is the thesis I endeavor to demonstrate in the series. If readers would like to investigate the opposite thesis then they can find plenty of other articles and media claims elsewhere. In addition to transferring onto the web the counterbalancing scholarship in a way that is understandable to web readers. I also provide a “References and Further Reading” section at the end of each article. Web readers who are also book readers will then know where to look first. Other purposes of the series go directly to the content of the articles. Since the future articles are put in a Q & A format it is used here. The articles seek to answer these questions and more: A Gnostic is “someone who knows” or a “knower.” But what does he or she know? She or he knows secret teachings that lift him or her above the mundane and the all-too-human (to use a phrase anachronistically). In the Mediterranean world many decades after Jesus lived and the church grew rapidly and the four canonical Gospels were written down who was more qualified than Jesus himself to be the Ultimate Gnostic? ( means “measuring stick” or the “standard” by which we evaluate other writings; in our case it consists of the books in the New Testament.) So what are the basics of Gnostic teaching? Jesus came to reveal hidden truths and secret knowledge. He discloses a way of escape from the world and the human body if only a few special people would come to know this. The Gnostic authors often borrowed the names of Jesus’ disciples to attach to their texts such as the has been discovered restored and published most recently. Using the disciples’ names or other Biblical names gives the appearance of authority but it is deceptive. The original disciples or Bible characters had nothing to do with these writings. The teaching of Jesus the names of his disciples and the four Gospels traveled well. Gnostics capitalized on this fame. All of these (late) Gnostic documents would not be a concern to anyone but a few specialists. Yet some scholars who have access to the national media and who write their books for the general public imply that Gnostic texts should be accepted as equally valid and authoritative as the four canonical Gospels or stand a step or two behind the Biblical Gospels. At least the Gnostic scriptures so these scholars say today could have potentially been elevated to the canon but were instead suppressed by orthodox church leaders. ( literally means “correct or straight thinking,” and here it means the early church of and to cite only these examples). This series challenges the claim that the Gnostic texts should be canonical or even a step or two behind the four Biblical Gospels. The Gnostic texts were considered heretical for good reason. This series has two other features. Each article ends with these questions: What is the bottom line for the historical reliability of the Gospels? And what does all of this mean to the Church of all denominations? Those questions and answers serve as a conclusion and an application. The series is not about establishing the inerrancy or infallibility or inspiration of the Gospels. I leave those doctrines to theologians. Instead the goal is to establish the reliability of the Gospels. If we cannot establish that then how can we even begin to discuss their inerrancy infallibility and inspiration as those terms have been traditionally understood and defined? I learned a lot while writing the series which was much more difficult than I had thought. But as noted. I hope that I will make complicated issues and scholarship understandable to nonspecialists so they no longer have to feel under siege. Paul Barnett. 2nd ed. Intervarsity. 2003. This one is intended for beginners. Start here second; go first to Roberts’ book and blog articles (see below) and my own series perhaps? Eerdmans. 2006. I will refer to this excellent book very often. It has inspired this series. He was kind enough to correspond with me offering encouragement and suggestions on my article on the Gospel of Mark. His book goes a long way to upset overly skeptical scholarship that has exerted a lot of influence on New Testament studies for a long time. But his book is not for beginners unless web readers first read Roberts’ (see below) and my series (?) and have a lot of time to work through Bauckham’s. F. F. Bruce. 6th ed. Eerdmans. 1981. From a superior scholar the early gold standard and short too. A fifth edition can be read. D. A. Carson and Douglas Moo. 2nd ed. Zondervan. 2005. Excellent introduction from a conservative point of view. For me the arguments in favor of traditional conclusions such as the authorship of the four Gospels are stronger than against thanks in large part to this book. Highly recommended. Both are fine exegetes. ? Baker. 2007. I discovered this belatedly. It's written for the laity. It's a clarification of their more academic book noted in the previous entry. Definitely get it. Birger Gerhardsson. Hendrickson. 2001. The best (and shortest) on the specific topic of the oral stage before the Gospels were finalized in their written forms. At first his earlier works – some of which are summarized in this book – were not well received but now the tide has turned. Donald Guthrie. 4th ed. Intervarsity. 1990. Very good introduction from a conservative perspective. Highly recommended. ---. Crossway. 2007. Start here and his blog to be introduced to the issues – along with my own series perhaps? Roberts has been a pastor for a number of years so he has a good “ear” for the laity. His book and blog is for them – for you. Zondervan. 2007. I discovered this book belatedly. It is definitely worth getting. It is written for the laity. It will also lead you back to his earlier books which are excellent. For students of the Old Testament – I have only glanced at these two books since they do not relate directly to my series. But they appear to be excellent not least because they are written by two superior Old Testament scholars who respect Scripture. Zondervan. 2007. I discovered this book belatedly. It is definitely worth getting. It is written for the laity. It will also lead you back to his earlier books which are excellent. As for the Gnostic writings go to the latest edition of the collection. Reading these texts will only confirm how different and outlandish they are compared with the four Biblical Gospels. My modest scholarly contribution though not directly related to the historical reliability of the Four Gospels is here: The two series above have been updated and posted at (look under Hosted Articles and then Authors A-B). The third series is on Postmodernism and the Bible. The series seeks to explain why in part we have breathed in hyper-skepticism that influences our interpretations of the text in a negative destructive way. This series has been posted at americanthinker com.

"You experience the difference between cannibals and liberals? Cannibals only eat their enemies."- Lyndon Johnson "America is not at war. The Marines are at war. America is at the mall."- Unknown “The best minds are not in government; if they were business would take them away.”- Ronald Reagan "Sniper One is as good looking as his communicate..."- Sniper One - The man is business. But he can't enclose his heart..- "Amen and go the ammunition."- Scrapiron "Have I told you today how grateful I am to have you blogging on MY side"- "Just another primitive superstitious misogynist godbag"-Amanda Marcotte "Sniper One is dead on target as he addresses the Islamic Fascist terrorist issues."- Since the end of the Cold War in the 1990’s the world has also enjoyed a technology boom. As businesses adapted to these technologies the world changed and new threats to security and peace emerged. Threats usually involved smaller non-state entities who engaged in asymmetrical and clandestine practices to send their political objectives. Technology took a prominent role in many business models with the Dot Com boom and companies conducted more business over electronic lines. As entire economies relied more on this it became obvious that these developments disclosed many public and private interests to risk associated with emerging terrorism. This assort of assay associated with the attack on this intellectual property and means to care business became known as cyber-terrorism. Several authors began to communicate this issue including Gabriel Weimann who penned a special inform on terrorism and the internet. As the Internet became easier for businesses it became equally possible for all kinds of other entities including political and terrorist organizations to further their objectives. Gabriel Wieman an expert on what is cyber-terrorism expresses this brilliantly. “The great virtues of the internet–ease of access lack of regulation vast potential audiences and fast flow of information among others—undergo been turned to the advantage of groups committed to terrorizing societies to achieve their goals.” (Weimann. 2004) Groups wishing to apply this technology either use the technology to further message vai web pages and other means of propaganda or disobey the infrastructure associated with the technology to gain notoriety for their political objectives such as denial of service attacks. Terrorists are using the internet to back up their propaganda often by appealing to the wealth of the west to support their aims. They are able to do this because the internet allows them to simulcast their messages to interested or sympathetic parties 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. They often represent the truth about their causes to create sympathy for their causes by using multimeida by the internet. Eben Kaplan an cerebrate editor at the Council on Foreign Relations. Mr. Kaplan notes that. “By now nearly everyone has seen at least some images from propaganda videos published on terrorist sites and air on the world’s news networks.” (Kaplan. 2006) Terrorist organizations often use iconic elements of Western Culture to earn that sympathy. One particular example of this Western Adaptation of lay Eastern issues is the Hamas Mickey Mouse. Using mass media and air communications this black-and-white rodent spoke to Palestinian children in Gaza Strip. Israel while spreading a communicate of dislike and violence to Palestinian children. Farfor the mouse’s name would sing Anti-Western message in the worst kind of low-budget Barney musical showcasing with such phrases like. “You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists,” and having children shout. “Down with Israel.” (”Micket Mouse Rip-Off Spreads Hamas Message,” 2007). In another program this wanna-be Mickey Mouse tells children that they be to rid their lands of the murderers while referring to Israel and the United States. With in the past year. Hamas loyalists launched their own media-conglomerate called: Al Aqsa. This schedule format includes television and the displace contains many popular elements of news cartoons and reality television. This media outlet isn’t an example of free press in the Islamic world. It is more of a mouthpiece for antiwestern values proclaimed by Hamas and the militant Mickey-mouse is part of the design. The season finale of Farfor captivates audiences by advancing the walk’s status with Allah in an act of martyrdom. In promoting this extreme propaganda to children Farfor’s life is cut short by the hands of an Israeli. In the exchange an Israeli agent tries to buy the land from Farfor and in move for this exchange the Israeli is branded a terrorist. A confrontation follows with the mouse meeting Allah and gaining the status of martyr. (”Hamas ‘Mickey Mouse’ Killed Off,” 2007) Much of the funding for these kinds of activities has been raised through help from other militant Islamic extremists in the region including Iran. (”Hezbollah As a Strategic Arm of Iran,” 2006). Iran has aided organizations desire Hamas with funding and know-how. They’ve helped Hamas set up television stations and use icons like Mickey walk to back up a communicate of hate and back up martyrs. Organizations desire Hamas and al-Qaeda in Iraq (”Gates: Taliban Getting Weapons From Iran,” 2007) receive weapons and other kinds of military support from Iran. The internet has been a key propaganda drive and the Iranians undergo seized multiple opportunities to move munitions and arms into places like Lebanon and Syria to further their interests. In a similar indictment of hate espoused by the terrorist assort al-Queda terrorists are able to use their media for purposes of psychological warfare. Cyber-Terrorism expert. Gabriel Weimann also notes in his article on Terrorism and the Internet that. “Osama Bin remove and his followers change state their propaganda efforts on the Internet where visitors to al Qaeda’s numerous websites and to the sites of sympathetic aboveground organizations can access prerecorded videotapes and audiotapes. CD-ROMs. DVD’s photographs and announcements. While performing as a chief propaganda tool for many terrorist organizations the technology infrastructure of powerful Western economies subject themselves unintentionally to terrorist threats. Companies use the internet to act private data money transactional process across networks believe more on this technology. The reliance on this technology becomes the weakness itself in their economic infrastructure. Any disruption of these services desire any other critical infrastructure in a country like wet petroleum and electricity presents a risk to these economies that are an easier aim for terrorists to attack. The critical communicate of the United States and the west is susceptible to multiple kinds of attacks. Service Disruption attacks data mining and more. These attacks can consider: the physical compromising of the physical computer hardware social engineering virtual probes social spying lost passwords sniffing dumpster diving and denial of service attacks. (Peikari. 2007) An example of cyber-terrorism happened in Estonia in May of 2007 where hackers inside the Russian Federation were responding to the removal of a Russian World War II war memorial from downtown in Estonia. They were targeting Estonian websites. (”A Cyber-Riot: Estonia Has Faced Down Russian Rioters. But it’s websites are still under contend.” 2007) In a similarly malicious attack subgovernmental terrorists sought to undermine the backbone of the internet by attacking key domain naming servers. These root servers are responsible for most of the traffic on the Internet being routed to the suitable web server. These root servers sustained a coordinated distributed denial of service attack on all the main servers! (Vixie. 2002) It is in these two frameworks that terrorist organizations bring home the bacon primarily. Knowing how terrorists exploit these vulnerabilities by using the technology to further their ambitions and sabotaging the technology to obtain publicity and sympathy for their causes can appoint governments in developing technologies to protect these vulnerabilities. Knee-jerk reactions of western governments has been to shut these sites down by going after the developers and web-masters. Eben Kaplan an expert on terrorism and the internet notes. “The Internet is a powerful tool for terrorists who use online message boards and chat rooms to share information coordinate attacks spread propaganda increase funds and recruit experts say…Terrorist websites can answer as virtual training grounds offering tutorials on building bombs firing surface-to-air missiles shooting at U. S soldiers and sneaking into Iraq from abroad. Terrorist sites also host message and propaganda videos which help to raise morale and further the expansion of recruitment and fundraising networks.” (Kaplan. 2006) Understanding this is where organizations must go away to combat terrorism on the Internet. While the scope of this paper has not been to define solutions but only parts of the problem this is an important place to start. Tying these technologies and know-how together with the text the Internet 6th Edition demonstrates that this technology isn’t just for business and that even in Tutorial 4 many types of organization can access these resources for good and bad purposes. Knowing how terrorists use the Internet shows the vulnerabilities of organizations to these threats both in physical realm and in the cyber realities allows readers to understand the vast and complex world in which modern terrorism performs.

As entire economies relied more on this it became obvious that these developments disclosed many public and private interests to risk associated with emerging terrorism. This group of risk associated with the contend on this intellectual property and means to conduct business became known as cyber-terrorism. Several authors began to address this issue including Gabriel Weimann who penned a special report on terrorism and the internet. As the Internet became easier for businesses it became equally possible for all kinds of other entities including political and terrorist organizations to further their objectives. Gabriel Wieman an expert on what is cyber-terrorism expresses this brilliantly. “The great virtues of the internet–ease of find lack of regulation vast potential audiences and fast move of information among others—have been turned to the advantage of groups committed to terrorizing societies to bring home the bacon their goals.” (Weimann. 2004) Groups wishing to apply this technology either use the technology to further communicate vai web pages and other means of propaganda or disobey the infrastructure associated with the technology to gain notoriety for their political objectives such as denial of function attacks. Terrorists are using the internet to promote their propaganda often by appealing to the wealth of the west to support their aims. They are able to do this because the internet allows them to simulcast their messages to interested or sympathetic parties 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. They often misrepresent the truth about their causes to create sympathy for their causes by using multimeida by the internet. Eben Kaplan an cerebrate editor at the Council on Foreign Relations. Mr. Kaplan notes that. “By now nearly everyone has seen at least some images from propaganda videos published on terrorist sites and rebroadcast on the world’s news networks.” (Kaplan. 2006) Terrorist organizations often use iconic elements of Western Culture to earn that sympathy. One particular example of this Western Adaptation of Middle Eastern issues is the Hamas Mickey Mouse. Using mass media and satellite communications this black-and-white rodent spoke to Palestinian children in Gaza take. Israel while spreading a message of hate and violence to Palestinian children. Farfor the walk’s name would chant Anti-Western message in the beat kind of low-budget Barney musical showcasing with such phrases desire. “You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists,” and having children shout. “Down with Israel.” (”Micket Mouse Rip-Off Spreads Hamas communicate,” 2007). In another program this wanna-be Mickey walk tells children that they be to rid their lands of the murderers while referring to Israel and the United States. With in the past year. Hamas loyalists launched their own media-conglomerate called: Al Aqsa. This schedule format includes television and the station contains many popular elements of news cartoons and reality television. This media outlet isn’t an example of free press in the Islamic world. It is more of a mouthpiece for antiwestern values proclaimed by Hamas and the militant Mickey-mouse is part of the design. The toughen finale of Farfor captivates audiences by advancing the mouse’s status with Allah in an act of martyrdom. In promoting this extreme propaganda to children Farfor’s life is cut bunco by the hands of an Israeli. In the transfer an Israeli agent tries to buy the land from Farfor and in move for this transfer the Israeli is branded a terrorist. A confrontation follows with the mouse meeting Allah and gaining the status of martyr. (”Hamas ‘Mickey Mouse’ Killed Off,” 2007) Much of the funding for these kinds of activities has been raised through help from other militant Islamic extremists in the region including Iran. (”Hezbollah As a Strategic Arm of Iran,” 2006). Iran has aided organizations desire Hamas with funding and know-how. They’ve helped Hamas set up television stations and use icons like Mickey Mouse to promote a message of hate and encourage martyrs. Organizations like Hamas and al-Qaeda in Iraq (”Gates: Taliban Getting Weapons From Iran,” 2007) receive weapons and other kinds of military support from Iran. The internet has been a key propaganda tool and the Iranians have seized multiple opportunities to act munitions and arms into places like Lebanon and Syria to further their interests. In a similar indictment of hate espoused by the terrorist group al-Queda terrorists are able to use their media for purposes of psychological warfare. Cyber-Terrorism expert. Gabriel Weimann also notes in his article on Terrorism and the Internet that. “Osama Bin Laden and his followers concentrate their propaganda efforts on the Internet where visitors to al Qaeda’s numerous websites and to the sites of sympathetic aboveground organizations can find prerecorded videotapes and audiotapes. CD-ROMs. DVD’s photographs and announcements. While performing as a chief propaganda tool for many terrorist organizations the technology infrastructure of powerful Western economies subject themselves unintentionally to terrorist threats. Companies use the internet to move private data money transactional affect across networks rely more on this technology. The reliance on this technology becomes the weakness itself in their economic infrastructure. Any disruption of these services like any other critical infrastructure in a country like wet petroleum and electricity presents a risk to these economies that are an easier aim for terrorists to contend. The critical network of the United States and the west is susceptible to multiple kinds of attacks. Service Disruption attacks data mining and more. These attacks can include: the physical compromising of the physical computer hardware social engineering virtual probes social spying lost passwords sniffing dumpster diving and denial of service attacks. (Peikari. 2007) An example of cyber-terrorism happened in Estonia in May of 2007 where hackers inside the Russian Federation were responding to the removal of a Russian World War II war memorial from downtown in Estonia. They were targeting Estonian websites. (”A Cyber-Riot: Estonia Has Faced drink Russian Rioters. But it’s websites are still under attack.” 2007) In a similarly malicious attack subgovernmental terrorists sought to undermine the backbone of the internet by attacking key domain naming servers. These root servers are responsible for most of the traffic on the Internet being routed to the suitable web server. These root servers sustained a coordinated distributed denial of service contend on all the main servers! (Vixie. 2002) It is in these two frameworks that terrorist organizations bring home the bacon primarily. Knowing how terrorists apply these vulnerabilities by using the technology to advance their ambitions and sabotaging the technology to gain publicity and sympathy for their causes can appoint governments in developing technologies to protect these vulnerabilities. Knee-jerk reactions of western governments has been to shut these sites drink by going after the developers and web-masters.

S soldiers and sneaking into Iraq from abroad. Terrorist sites also host message and propaganda videos which back up to raise morale and further the expansion of recruitment and fundraising networks.” (Kaplan. 2006) Understanding this is where organizations must start to combat terrorism on the Internet.

(”Hamas ‘Mickey Mouse’ Killed Off,” 2007) Much of the funding for these kinds of activities has been raised through back up from other militant Islamic extremists in the region including Iran. (”Hezbollah As a Strategic Arm of Iran,” 2006). Iran has aided organizations like Hamas with funding and know-how. They’ve helped Hamas set up television stations and use icons like Mickey Mouse to back up a message of dislike and encourage martyrs. Organizations like Hamas and al-Qaeda in Iraq (”Gates: Taliban Getting Weapons From Iran,” 2007) receive weapons and other kinds of military support from Iran. The internet has been a key propaganda tool and the Iranians have seized multiple opportunities to act munitions and arms into places like Lebanon and Syria to further their interests. In a similar indictment of hate espoused by the terrorist group al-Queda terrorists are able to use their media for purposes of psychological warfare. Cyber-Terrorism expert. Gabriel Weimann also notes in his article on Terrorism and the Internet that. “Osama Bin remove and his followers concentrate their propaganda efforts on the Internet where visitors to al Qaeda’s numerous websites and to the sites of sympathetic aboveground organizations can find prerecorded videotapes and audiotapes. CD-ROMs. DVD’s photographs and announcements. While performing as a chief propaganda tool for many terrorist organizations the technology infrastructure of powerful Western economies expose themselves unintentionally to terrorist threats. Companies use the internet to act private data money transactional affect across networks rely more on this technology. The reliance on this technology becomes the weakness itself in their economic infrastructure. Any disruption of these services like any other critical infrastructure in a country like water petroleum and electricity presents a risk to these economies that are an easier target for terrorists to contend. The critical network of the United States and the west is susceptible to multiple kinds of attacks. Service Disruption attacks data mining and more. These attacks can include: the physical compromising of the physical computer hardware social engineering virtual probes social spying lost passwords sniffing dumpster diving and denial of function attacks. (Peikari. 2007) An example of cyber-terrorism happened in Estonia in May of 2007 where hackers inside the Russian Federation were responding to the removal of a Russian World War II war memorial from downtown in Estonia. They were targeting Estonian websites. (”A Cyber-Riot: Estonia Has Faced Down Russian Rioters. But it’s websites are still under attack.” 2007) In a similarly malicious attack subgovernmental terrorists sought to undermine the backbone of the internet by attacking key domain naming servers. These root servers are responsible for most of the traffic on the Internet being routed to the suitable web server. These root servers sustained a coordinated distributed denial of service attack on all the main servers! (Vixie. 2002) It is in these two frameworks that terrorist organizations work primarily. Knowing how terrorists apply these vulnerabilities by using the technology to further their ambitions and sabotaging the technology to gain publicity and sympathy for their causes can empower governments in developing technologies to protect these vulnerabilities. Knee-jerk reactions of western governments has been to shut these sites down by going after the developers and web-masters. Eben Kaplan an expert on terrorism and the internet notes. “The Internet is a powerful tool for terrorists who use online message boards and chat rooms to share information coordinate attacks move propaganda raise funds and recruit experts say…Terrorist websites can serve as virtual training grounds offering tutorials on building bombs firing surface-to-air missiles shooting at U. S soldiers and sneaking into Iraq from abroad. Terrorist sites also host communicate and propaganda videos which back up to increase morale and further the expansion of recruitment and fundraising networks.” (Kaplan. 2006) Understanding this is where organizations must start to combat terrorism on the Internet. While the scope of this paper has not been to define solutions but only parts of the problem this is an important displace to go away. Tying these technologies and know-how together with the text the Internet 6th Edition demonstrates that this technology isn’t just for business and that even in Tutorial 4 many types of organization can access these resources for good and bad purposes. Knowing how terrorists use the Internet shows the vulnerabilities of organizations to these threats both in physical realm and in the cyber realities allows readers to understand the vast and complex world in which modern terrorism performs.

Academics and other investment outsiders often marvel at the volatility of investment markets. The truth is that economic fundamentals either with a specific company or the market as a whole just don't dress very much from day to day or even month to month. Why is it that markets rise and fall so significantly every day? Mass media reports on the stock market are very deceiving to the average reader. Today with the Dow falling over 100 points media reports from the USA Today and Washington Post accuse "credit worries." If the Dow rises 200 points tomorrow the headlines might read "subprime fears go." We've seen such headlines during strong rallies several times this year. I've often wondered how the average reader interprets these kinds of reports. One day the market is worth 1% less because of housing problems the next day its worth 1% more because... Housing isn't so bad? Put together these stories read like traders showed up at the NYSE one morning and thought "Holy shit the housing market is bad. Sell! Sell!" Then the next day the same traders show up for work saying "come up it really isn't that bad. Buy! Buy!" This view of the market has it as a sort of impulsive manic-depressive. But of cover that's not really how it works. Academia would like you to believe that the market is made up of rational buyers and sellers. In their model world the market for securities is based on rational estimates of fundamental value. Prices rise or fall because merchandise participants re-evaluate value: if an owner of a security finds the determine has risen above his view of fundamentals he sells. And the opposite is true of buyers. Where buyers and sellers cater through the magic of the invisible hand the market has rationally set the price. Of course that's not how it works either. Unfortunately this believe cannot explain the volatility. We know that its common for a stock to rise or fall by 1-2% every day often with no news at all. Same goes for credit spreads futures contracts swap rates etc. These things move all the time for no fundamental reason. The reality is that fundamental investors don't dress their view on fundamental value much from day to day. change surface when there is news on a company or on the economy as a whole normally no hit piece of news ordain change someone's mind about an investment. For example if I'm bearish on rates because I expect inflation. I'm not likely to change my mind because CPIprints low one month. If I'm long AT&T have. I'm not likely.

Here's a nice. Here's how this shakes out. The age-old business model of newspapers is scaring the pants off everyone right now. create circulation and ad revenue are down markedly. Newspapers all over the country are tightening budgets and laying off workers trying to keep a Wall Street-friendly acquire margin in the face of these revenue problems. populate like me guess that two kinds of coverage are most threatened by this trend: international reporting and investigative reporting. They're both essential to the very meaning of journalism but also colossally expensive to do. register "non-profit journalism." The idea now goes that philanthropists ordain finance investigative journalism to keep the press as watchdogs of government business other institutions. Do you think this will bring home the bacon? Can entities like this effectively serve as watchdogs? Were newspapers even doing that in the first displace? What are the conflicts of interest? I bequeath reading about Pro Publica in the nytimes measure month and in that story. NYTimes director. Bill Keller said --The Times would be open to using work from an outside source. “assuming we were confident of its quality,” but that “we’ll always undergo a preference for bring home the bacon we can vouch for ourselves.”--I think this is an interesting concept. As journalists of course we be more investigative stories after all that's what makes journalism be so rewarding. I think Pro Publica is a good idea to alter sure the press can still serve as a watchdog and may actually be a refreshing way to see news made. Especially with a whole newsroom of investigative reporters what a unique environment where the tasks of a daily won't darken progress. Also it could make newspapering less a corporate arouse for conglomerates to buy and change. However. I query how it will bring home the bacon between reporting for Pro Publica and then printing the story in an actual newspaper and what the business practices will be. Integrity might be a question too but I think with seasoned journalists writing the stories (like it appears this would use)it ordain be less of a problem. I'd really like to see this bring home the bacon. It's an interesting idea one that I hope works. As desire as the bring home the bacon is as accurate and objective as possible. ProPublica has a good chance of success. If there is even a smell of bias or manipulation. I evaluate it will alter into activism if it survives at all. Sunrise on Media is my attempt to get you talking about interesting things percolating in media worlds. Our cover explores all sorts of skills in mass communication but all kinds of concepts too. I'd love to use this space to help you be at what media workers DO but also WHY they do it and HOW they alter all of us. I label it "sunrise" because I bring home the bacon at work at obscenely early times and will generally impel some postings up then. I wish you'll comment.
