About Our Page


 

Hello Readers and Viewers! My Name is Vanna-Lee, creator and owner of Lee Studios Productions and Politics Vote. I focus on many topics domestic and some international. The color scheme gold and black is different than your standard blue, white, and red. I wanted a more passionate feeling and presentation when discussing issues that affect us all. Each topic discussion and/or analysis has two images corresponding the theme of the topic at hand. Images and symbols are important because before readers/viewers read words they see the representation first.

I created this blog to showcase interest in understanding the influence media has on politics. I want readers/viewers to understand beyond the surface level of what the relation between the two groups. Media is politics and Politics is media. Understanding the complexity of media and politics is essential for any political science or politics student. I will be able to cultivate the understanding on how the presidency and politics truly interact and correspond with one another on a new level especially in media. I believe that the research methods implied throughout each section can help those participating in majors such as political science grow in their public speaking and knowledge when presenting a topic or issue. It increases/advances one’s comprehension and applies principles to everyday life. I hope you all enjoy the entires created by Politics Vote!

Freedom of the Press - Definition, Measurement, and a Global Assessment

Image
  Freedom of the press is the provision to share an opinion, idea, value, and/or perspective with others without restrictions. This is an important concept to consider because in order for society to grow, you need assistance by words. Press is a form of speech and anyone with a voice deserves the space to speak freely. Freedom house released a 2019 report on media freedom being a downward spiral. The study lasted for five years and expanded over sixteen countries (Freedom House 2019). They rated each country on a scale from zero to four. Zero being the worst and four being the best. The article touched on different subjects such as implications of democratic governance and media freedom globally and achieving media dominance. Implications of democracy focused on floating transparency and the need to increase transparency with the public (Freedom House 2019). Media dominance focused on squelching critical outlets and bolstering loyal outlets by using economic, legal, and extra lega...

The Media and the Government - The Struggle for Control

Image
  The media personales aim to acquire more means and viewers to their platforms. They seek to build on their stock and revenue to continue building their companies. The media is able to influence people based on algorithms. The government seeks to build on public image and promotion. Politicians have an image to upkeep in order to keep support for elections time. The people within these two institutions, aka the journalist, just want to report the truth. What motivates or is the common denominator is attention. They want the public’s attention. These institutions and individuals cannot function without the public. They have to find effective ways of gaining and keeping their attention. They share posts, messages, and readings that can be deemed important or not. Some examples are (1) In Norway, the media is seen operating in favor of the political environment (Reporters Without Borders 2024). The reason why it's viewed as favorable is because Norwegian politicians, parliamentarians...

Analysis : Advocacy Journalism: "Harvest of Shame"

Image
  Harvest of Shame brought to light the harsh conditions of farm labor workers. These individuals left their homelands in search of better. This documentational journalism wanted to open the eyes of the American public. To show them how the produce they buy in the store reaches them. Many people do not know or care how the material things they own reach stores. They just buy and continue with their lives. Not much or any appreciation for the people who have to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into making that shirt or harvesting that corn. The documentary showed people the true reality of commerce. The inhumane treatment by withholding pay, lack of clean food and water, disgusting living conditions etc. The journalist took a brave step going to these locations and putting their jobs on the line. If the higher up found out that there were news reporters sneaking around, that would cause problems for CBS. This is similar to Hunter S. Thompson who lived the life of a gang member for...
