The definition of a social justice issue is an issue raised because of the lack of fairness over a group of people. The media portrays this and thinks of this just as another way to earn a lot of cash. The media don’t truely care about the issues, but only think of it as a money making scheme.
It has not been difficult at all to find social justice issues. In ever newspaper, at least one social justice issue is revealed somewhere in the pages. Even on the web, it is easy to find articles just by typing up any social justice issue. i.e Euthanasia.
Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
After researching many different articles on Madeleine McCann, I am able to confirm that the media don’t operate from a moral framework. This is because the stories, e.g. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/madeleinemccann/2506154/Madeleine-McCann-Sketch-
shows-first-suspects-movements.html.
This article only has the facts they know and no opinions or values of any body of the media is included.
Another example of this situation is http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/48-Questions-
Kate-McCann-Faced-from-Portugese-Police/Article/200808115070874?lpos=World%2BNews_9&lid=AR
TICLE_15070874_48%2BQuestions%2BKate%2BMcCann%2BFaced%2Bfrom%2BPortugese%2BPolice.
Once again, no beliefs of the media has been put into the article. These two articles I believe are able to justify my answer.
