Crim 12

Media is a amazing thing, you can talk to your friends and family from anywhere and at anytime. Media however is now a place for criminal trials, with trials being present on media people see what news shows and gossip shows want you to see to boost their ratings. In the Casey Anthony case you see how badly media can turn people against someone that they had never even heard of. News and gossip TV shows painted Casey as a monster for supposedly killing her two year old daughter without first knowing all the facts and they did such a good job of this, when Casey got out on bail and was staying at her parents house people would come onto the Anthony property demanding the 'baby killer' and saying her parents were horrible people for letting their own daughter live with her. Nancy Grace was one of the people 'investigating' the case on her show she shouted out her opinions like they were concrete facts and evidence that everyone should believe and listen to.

I believe that during the trials no recording should be let out to the press as they could put their own spin on the footage that is shown, like how Nancy Grace turned a look between and lawyer and his client into the possibility of  a sexual relationship with no evidence to support her allegations. Media presents information in a way to make you feel a certain way about the case. Although I don't believe that media should be allowed to record in the courtroom, I do believe that there should be a camera guy in the courtroom so people can see what happened in the trial but only after the trial is done.

I believe that when the cases are still on trial none of the information should be release as it can mess with the investigation. Then once again after the trial is over then all of the information can be released. The  person being put on trial an...

There was almost a two hour difference between my guess and the actual amount of time consuming media. Although recording your usage of media for only one day isn't a very good way of tracking your daily media usage as different things affect the amount of time you spend on your phone reading/writing notes or watching videos. I was writing and more notes that day because of school and was on my phone and on Netflix more because I was just at home with my sister. I will at times put on Netflix as background noise when I'm on my phone so the house isn't quiet that increased my time by an hour. I also listen to music well doing chores or homework or when going through Instagram. I mostly am on Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix. The odd time I will go in Facebook to check my work schedule. I have one day a week where it is a no phone day it is usually a Sunday sometimes it's on a Saturday. My estimate was 10 hours. The actual amount consumed was 11hrs 54mins.
