Media Violence on TVIs Media Violence Free Speech? A debate between George Gerbner and Todd Gitlin, Hot Wired, July 1997.
The full text of an online debate between two of the biggest names in U.S. cultural research. On one side of the debate is Gerbner, who firmly believes that TV violence contributes to violence in our society. On the other side is Gitlin, who agrees TV is violent but sees no real correlation between TV violence and violence in society.The Man Who Counts the Killings, by Scott Stossel, in The Atlantic Monthly, May 1997.
This thoughtful article provides an exceptionally interesting, and sometimes critical, look at the life and work of George Gerbner, the U.S. academic responsible for the first research linking violent television and aggressive behaviour. Attempting to explain Gerbner's lifelong crusade against TV violence, this article explores Gerbner's fear about the connection between television and fascism, and about TV's effect on democracy. While telling Gerbner's story, the article also covers some of the key debates on media violence in the U. S. and Canada.Imagebusters: The Hollow Crusade Against TV Violence, by Todd Gitlin, The American Prospect, No. 16, Winter 1994.
"However morally and aesthetically reprehensible today's screen violence is, the crusades of Senator Paul Simon and Attorney General Janet Reno against television violence, as well as Catharine MacKinnon's war against pornography, are cheap shots," claims Gitlin, a well-known U.S. academic and media critic. "There are indeed reasons to attribute violence to the media, but the links are weaker than recent headlines would have one believe."
Prime-Time Violence, Maclean's, December 7, 1992.
This detailed news-style article looks at the roots of Canadians' growing concern about media violence. Starting from the premise that media violence is on the rise (prime-time dramatic programming in North America features an average of six to eight acts of violence an hour) researchers, parents, children and TVexecutives share their views on how media violence affects our lives. An excellent overview of the main issues surrounding violent programming._________
Media Violence in Films and Video GamesGood Clean Fun?, by Clive Thompson, Shift Magazine, December 1999.
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman believes that violent video games allow kids to practice killing and imagine murder as fun. The author had never fired a gun, but had played video games for years. The two men went to the firing range to test Grossman's theory. This is what the author learned.Trigger Finger, by Theresa Duncan, Feed Magazine, April 1999.
Children's video game designer Theresa Duncan challenges the notion that violent video games harm children. This article looks at why kids enjoy violent video games and the possible advantages of violent play.Culture Quake, by Paul Keegan, MotherJones, November/December 1999.
In the wake of school shootings in the United States and Canada, this article discusses whether video and computer games are the inspiration for a new generation of youth violence, as many critics have suggested, by looking at the games themselves and asking why young people are so drawn to them.
Maclean's Executive Editor Bob Levin bemoans the quality of current Hollywood movies in this editorial column. "What are we doing to our kids?" is the question he raises after a disturbing experience watching the popular and ultra-violent science fiction movie Spawn with his young son.Killer Games?, by Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly, March 11, 1994.
The magazine section Kids Extra evaluates ten popular video games that have been singled out as the most violent. Evaluations are based on three questions: What is the nature of the violent content? Is the violence realistic? And, Is it as bad as it sounds?Passing the Buck in Tinseltown, by Michael Krasny, Mother Jones, January 1993.
Krasny, a successful U.S. radio host, interviews a number of prominent Hollywood directors and writers about their views on violence in the media and in their own work. Questions posed include: How can we reconcile the First Amendment with the cost to society of viewing such violence? To what extent are these individuals responsible for the repercussions of their violent movies and television shows?
_________
Media Violence and Crime CoverageOne Violent Crime, by Bruce Shapiro, The Nation, May 1995.
In this essay, Shapiro – a 1995 National Magazine Award finalist for essays and criticism – talks about his own experience as a crime victim. "I was only a few hours out of surgery, barely able to speak, when the calls from television stations and papers started coming to my hospital room," he recalls. He concludes that most of the media attention he received was inaccurate, overblown and illogical.Should the Coverage Fit the Crime?, by Joe Holley, Columbia Journalism Review, May 1996.
This article examines the challenges faced by the management and newsroom journalists of an Austin, Tex., television station as it tries to buck the "tabloid journalism" trend and enforce guidelines for responsible crime reporting. The KVUE-TV experience begs the question of where to draw the line between responsible journalism and self censorship.WSVN in Miami: Diary of the American Nightmare, by Jonathan Cohn, The American Prospect, No. 19, Fall 1994.
This article takes a critical look at WSVN, a Florida TV station "that devotes 22 out of 34 broadcast minutes to the coverage of violent crime." Pointing to recent statistics on perceptions of crime, Cohn argues that stations like WSVN not only contribute to people's growing fears about becoming a victim of violent crime, they also play a role in the overall rise in crime reporting.
"God knows, the numbers show it. People will watch violence," says one TV executive. But why? To try to answer this question, Fennel looks at the recent upsurge in "reality TV" – and finds that low production costs and high ratings combine to make television shows about real-life crimes and violence commercially successful.
_________
The Effects of Media Violence
Reviewing studies in Canada and the U.S., the author traces the connection between violence on the screen and real-life acts of aggression, particularly amongst youth. He also examines the role that violence plays in youth culture – the "fashionable nihilism" promoted in music videos and youth advertising. A good resource for anyone interested in the North American debate about crime and media violence.Chasing the Effects of Media Violence, by Kevin Durkin, ABA Update: Newsletter of the Australian Broadcasting Authority, No. 29, Sydney, Australia, March 1995.
In this short article, the author takes a critical look at the methodology and results of various experimental and correlational case studies linking television violence and violent behaviour. Pointing to the weakness of the evidence, Durkin argues that imagination, resourcefulness and discussion are better weapons for combating aggression than a ban on violent programming.
This article addresses the concerns of many Canadian women regarding television stereotyping and the violence that permeates children's programming. It also criticizes media literacy education in Canada for not integrating gender analysis into the study of media violence.Media Violence, Children and Aggressive Behaviour, by Margot Prior, ABA Update: Newsletter of the Australian Broadcasting Authority, No. 29, Sydney, Australia, March 1995.
A review of the evidence linking television violence and aggressive behaviour. Findings show the impact of media violence is highly dependent on a child's personal development, intellectual level, communication skills and problem solving abilities, and on parental influence.
Recommendations for ongoing work on the problem of media violence as new media technologies such as the Internet introduce new challenges. The four areas of emphasis are: Meeting the Needs of Kids Today; Building Community Partnerships; Pro-Active Consumerism; and Political Action.
In this article, Graydon points out that the media are much more engaging than the classroom instruction most teachers are able to provide, and contribute to a climate where violence and sexism are not only tolerated but often celebrated.
The story of Virginie Larivière, a young Quebec girl responsible for starting one of Canada's most high-profile and influential campaigns against media violence. Sparked by the rape and murder of her younger sister, Virginie's 1.3-million-signature petition elicited a promise from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to enact tougher laws on media violence.
