Who give gatekeeper theory of mass communication?
Actually, this theory was around as early as 1922, when Walter Lippmann wrote his famous book "Public Opinion." At that time, the theory did not have a name, however. It acquired a name in the early 1940s, based on research by social psychologist Kurt Lewin. In the early 1950s, two theorists named Bruce Westley and Malcolm S. MacLean Jr. developed further research about gatekeepers and their role in mass communication-- their study was an expansion of earlier research (1948) done by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver, who looked at how messages are disseminated to the public. Westley and MacLean were perhaps the first theorists to look at the role of the editor in which messages are included in a newscast and which are not.
What do you think the ethics are for photojournalist today compared to the Civil War?
The ethics for photojournalists today emphasize accuracy, truth-telling, and respect for subjects' dignity and privacy. During the Civil War, the ethical standards were less defined and often sensationalized or staged for dramatic effect. Today, there is a greater emphasis on transparency, avoiding manipulation, and providing context in photojournalism.
Edutainment
Definitions:-
Ø "The act of learning through a medium that both educates and entertains."
Ø "Educational entertainment is any entertainment content that is designed to educate as well as to amuse."
Ø "Combination of the words education and entertainment. Playful imparting knowledge at the same time great entertainment value."
Introduction:-
Edutainment is one of those combo words, like "infotainment," that combines two regular words into one term that really isn't a word. As you may have guessed, "edutainment" is a combination of education and entertainment. There also exists content that is primarily educational but has incidental entertainment value. Finally, there is content that is mostly entertaining but can be seen to have some educational value. This term is used to describe various forms of entertainment that also educate. Some examples include "Sesame Street," shows on the PTV.
Background:-
The term edutainment was used as early as 1948 by The Walt Disney Company to describe the "True Life Adventures"series. The noun edutainment is used by Robert Heyman in 1973 while producing documentaries for the National Geographic Society. It can be argued that educational entertainment has existed for millennia in the form of parables and stories that promoted social change. Modern forms include television productions, film, museum exhibits, and computer software which uses entertainment to attract and maintain an audience, while incorporating deliberate educational content or messages.
Risks of Edutainment:-
Some people say the whole idea of edutainment is wrong in principle, for it depicts knowledge and learning as something unpleasant that has to be gift-wrapped in entertainment to be manageable, that is not true at all and children can have fun learning. Other risks are the overdose of entertainment i.e. The educational part is not noticed at all or just seen as a part of the game. Parents can think that by giving their children's edutainment products they do with the education of their children. Because it is rather complicated making appealing edutainment products people have to rely on "big" companies fabricating them, who therefor decide what is worth learning and what is not (some sort of filtered reality).
Goal of Edutainment:-
The goal of an edutainment product or experience is to provide some valuable knowledge to the consumer by keeping him or her engaged with entertaining material. People who argue in favor of edutainment suggest that when educational material is presented in a dry way, people tend to tune out, and they do not actually absorb the material or the lesson. For example, people are usually more interested by a brighter colored pamphlet than they are by a single sheet covered in densely written text.
Forms of Edutainment:-
ØBooks
ØPanel games
ØTelevision shows
ØMovies
ØClass activities
ØVideo games
ØRadio
ØPlaythings
ØMuseums
Criticism on edutainment:-
Some educators have suggested that edutainment may cross a line at times. When material is more humorous than it is educational, students can lose out. The focus on providing entertainment foremost is also viewed as complex in some communities, with critics suggesting that people may not be able to focus on less active presentations of material because they have been flooding in edutainment. In other words, some critics think that edutainment has created its own market by training people to look for enjoyment before they seek out knowledge.
Conclusion:-
Technology has made edutainment possible. Learners now learned using multi-sensory and learning has less difficult. Knowledge is transfer to learner in a new way. This is an activity through which not only provides the information but also provide the education according to the need of the audiences. This method helps to learn not only the children but every type of the audiences.

Where did Muckraking get its name?
"... you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward with the muck-rake in his hands; Who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor." Theodore Roosevelt.

Muckraking journalists do the same. They look for the most disturbing filth, sometimes innacurate, information on people so the term fit.

Using a computer everyday can have more negative than positive effects on young children?
The answer to this question is subjective. You need to specify the age of the children in question. Children are now faster now than before, they know more than their age mates know some ten years ago. I think children should be allowed to follow a well guided use of computers so that they don't indulge in playing online games only. Outside that, the use of computers will enhance children's ability to explore life's issues from their childhood. This alone is a positive occurrence preparing them for the future.
At the same time, too much of anything may be harmful. The use of computers should be well monitored so that children do not develop eyes defect from childhood. There are other diseases associated with the wrong use of computers. So if a child must use computer, the parents must be ready to teach him the right methods and attitude to maintain for a hitch free use of the wonder machine.

I can answer this only from a personal viewpoint: I've known many journalists, teachers and nurses, and only a very few Hawaiian dancers.
Among the teachers I have known, from different perspectives, I've found them disproportionately insular compared to friends, acquainances and professional contacts in any walk of life. Nurses run a close second.
This could be attributed to the fact that I've known more teachers and nurses than journalists or Hawaiian dancers, and having met more, I've seen a greater proportion of all personality types within those groups.
However, comparing teachers and nurses to professions other than those mentioned, I'd certainly have to say my response is based on experience.
Of the four occupations, of course, Hawaiian dancers, like others who study and perform traditional dancing, rarely do so as a full-time job. Some of them might very likely be teachers, nurses and journalists.
