Homework Project 2 Task 6

From everything I have learnt through this project about Media Ownership, I believe that people like Rupert Murdoch, own a large amount of the Media, and they abuse this, the are to powerful and I think own to much of the Media in this world, they have the power to change people's thoughts on others, political views and can stereotype other people or groups to negatively when positive, or positively when negative. They should not own this amount of the Media, or they should for sure not use this as a way of power. This is the main issue that is related to Media Ownership, in my own opinion.

• Media influences how we live everyday life and influences our political views.

• Because of the Media and Negative Press, has had a huge impact on Scottish people, lifestyle and Scottish politics.
• One of the biggest complaints was the cost of the Parliament's new building.
• The relationship between the Media and Politicians are ambiguous, they need each-other, but at the same time are suspicious of each other.
• If the Media was taken out of Politics, citizens would be clueless to what was happening at the given time.
• Also, if the Media was taken out, whoever was in power at the time would abuse the power and take it for granted.
• Sometimes it can cause the journalists to become the campaigners. 
• Normally, the Media wouldn't make a difference, but this time it was because of the Media that the prison in Aberdeen stayed open.
• The Newspaper and Media together make a powerful combination, Politicians can't ignore this.
