Topic: Deepfakes in Media

Author: Mariia Petrova

Comments: This blog is about the deepfakes in the media, which are mostly edited videos that look like real but they are actually edited. the videos are a media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else. Nowadays, the videos are so good that you really can’t tell the difference, and especially now, with the current events, this topic can be very dangerous for the society and for the world. I was very pleased to read through this blog because author made it very well, and it is definitely 10/10 for me and is worth checking!

Topic: The impact of Media on children

Author: Daniela Hartmanová

Comments: This blog is about the impact that media can have on children. I knew that the time that children spend on watching TV, or on social media such as Instagram, Tiktok is increasing, but I was shocked by the actual % of the increase, that author wrote in her post. This is a big problem nowadays I think and it is definitely needed to reduce the time spend on social media by children, mostly by parents. The blog was very easy to read and its another 10/10 from me!

Topic: Profit-Driven stereotyping in media

Author: Lisa Persheva

Comments: this blog is mostly about the money in the media. About how the media are hungry for money. The post that catched my eye here was about the TikTok trends, particularly “That Girl” trend. The trend is to show their “perfect productive and healthy” life by videos and photos. But in reality it can be very exhausting for some, and many of the girls actually do this only for the views that they can gain by it. The visuals are great on the blog and I can’t do anything else than give another 10/10. Great blog!

For Further Research

Hello everyone!

In today’s post, I would like to let you guys know about some of the websites that relate to this topic and that you should definitely check out if you are interested in the violence in sports. As it is really hard to find any website that is completely concentrated on Violence in Sports, I would like to address you these ones:

First one is https://www.athletenetwork.com/blog - The website is fully concentrated on athletes, who are part of sport. It is not only about the violence, but you can find many good articles about the violence on there.

Second one is https://bleacherreport.com/ - Again, the website concentrates on sports, but there are also several well typed articles about the violence, I particularly loved one about violence contributing to injuries of players, which is also an issue.

The third is not one, but more sites. In general, in any national media, for example „The Guardian“ „New York Times“ or from Czech Republic – „Idnes.sport“ you can find many articles about violence and sports. Mostly the controversial things that famous athletes done, such as my two posts about Mason Greenwood and Kurt Zouma.

So That is the websites I reccomend checking out, if you are interested in the same topic as I am, and I hope you enjoyed my blog!

What the experts say II

 

Hello everyone!

I have another great article for you, and because I want to be more broad in terms of sports at this blog, this one is mostly about tennis. Since I was little, my grandfather always took me on a pitch to play with me, so I like this sport aswell. The article I will be talking about today is explaining how endorsement of contracts of athletes can be way more relevant than their performance on the pitch, and how all are at stake when allegations of misconduct arise (Penn Today, 2021). I also used this article in the post „my view“ as there were quite interesting informations. For example, that throughout 2019, Alexander Zverev's (Professional Tennis player) then-girlfriend, Olya Sharypova, accused him of domestic assault, which included both physical and emotional abuse. Sharypova shared her tale as a warning to others who are dealing with violent partners. And during the last US Open, there was a Rolex ad, in which he was featured, and it made many people angry.  Make sure to check the article and leave any comments here if you would like to, see you again soon!

What the experts say I

 

Hello guys!

Today I have a great study I found about the domestic violence in the National Football League (NFL) which I would like to share with you! I already used some information in the post „my view“ from this study, but I need to tell you more about it. The purpose of this study was to see if there was a link between domestic violence incidences involving National Football League (NFL) players and the league's popularity. With increasing media attention on players' off-field exploits, there was a risk that players committing horrible crimes like domestic abuse would have an impact on how consumers consumed NFL merchandise. (Coyne, 2017). It is not about football, like most of my posts are, but it is about American Football, which I also find very interesting, and there is ton of violence. It goes with the game, but on the pitch, it is acceptable, but with limits! The players are violent, but in respectful way. You should definitely check this study out, because it has many great and intereseting informations and very surprising results.
