WE ARE PUPPETS

News manipulation is a series of related techniques in which media creates an image or argument that favours their own interests. These tactics may include the use of propaganda, and often involve the elimination of information , by persuading other people to stop listening to certain arguments, or by simply turning away attention elsewhere.

There are many types of news manipulation and so many techniques to do it. We’re going to read some of them:

Manipulating Images

There are many examples of how newspapers around the world use Photoshop images in order to influence public opinion. 

Advertising

News can be manipulated in advertisements in several ways, for example, touching up people or through subliminal advertising.

We are going to see a video in which a product such as a perfume is introduced by a woman. Of course, a beautiful woman... But, is she as beautiful as we see on TV?

Subliminal advertising
The receptor of this type of advertisement is not conscious of these promotional messages, such as those played at very low volume or flashed on a screen for less than a second. Its use is considered an unreliable business practice.

Baskin Robbins — This logo, uses the company's initials to advertise its number of ice cream flavors (31).

Tour de France— the Tour de France logo contains a well-integrated biker.

 The not-so-hidden design within this logo conjures up feelings of togetherness and friendship over chips and salsa.

There are millions of examples of this type of advertising. Let’s watch a video to know more about it. 

Now you know that you must not believe all that you listen to. You must believe in yourself and check is something is correct or not. Don’t be innocent!
