What the experts say I

The following analyzed article citation: Benwal, N. (2020, Jan 16). Social media influencers must be 'cautious', says bombay high court. Free Press Journal, Retrieved from https://search-proquest-com.unyp.idm.oclc.org/docview/2338872451?accountid=17238
Digging more into the research of influencers on media platforms and their responsibility, let's consider other examples mentioned on the other platforms. One such reporter was Benwal who analyzed the problem from the perspective of the comparison between journalism as the profession and its nuances and influencers such as famous figures known elsewhere but online. The reason to take a look at it through journalism is that people have the right to freedom of speech but besides that "treasure" they also should learn to be responsible for their actions and potential harm to others. The article mentions a crucial point within the investigation of the message delivery, that these public figures know that they have power over their audience and they use it consciously knowing the possible consequences of their context. However, resonance is seen in the dispensation of the given message to others', considering their feelings, emotions, and psychological or physical health as it is broadcasted on the way of trust in the announcement. What could be the reason to ensure the abuse of free speech and a position of influence? It is the profit the public figures receive. Indeed, most of the time they earn for their life on the commercial offers they get. And there the question of what to promote and the rights or even laws might be in contradiction. Therefore, as stated in the article "the Constitution of India provides the grounds on which reasonable restrictions on this freedom can be imposed" (Benwal, 2020). And that might be a positive change for the media platform.

The issues and concerns within the media and society increase with days as an increase in the branches of the themes. Therefore, I would like to recommend some of the topics for further research and speculations on. 1. "Big Lion Sports" by Michael. Reference:  https://biglionsportcom.wordpress.com/ Which analyzes the sports area as a separate culture for media attention. The interconnectedness between the mainstream and sport as part of our lives represents to what extent this sphere is present on a daily bases for millions of people. The idea of how subjective the discussion of sports might actually result in interesting speculation within its interaction with the recent situation in the world - COVID-19;...

Ongoing Pandemic

  T o the whole world, the beginning of the year 2020 became a turning moment - the countries were infected with the new virus COVID-19. One of the further actions of the government were to restrict people's presence at the places of mass gathering, return tourists to their mother-land, and close the borders utmost. Moreover, later people were asked to follow the quarantine and stay home for several weeks, minding their and others' health.      The spread of the virus - the speed, amount of infected people, consequences - was different in the countries, and due to the cultural dissimilarity and mentality, the process of acquisition and acceptance of such necessary isolation varied between human beings. Why? What is the difference if it is a ubiquitous issue?      Psychologically speaking, people have their own habits and way of life that they follow daily and feel comfortable in.
