Tactical Media
1. How can media be used to damage someone?
Media can be used to damage a person or a group's reputation by presenting a false image of an event or situation. Tools such as Photoshop can be used to alter an image to portray a less than truthful account of what really happened. This is especially true in politics.
2. How has the internet or other technologies made it easier to hurt someone?
The internet and other tools have made it much easier to hurt someone. Event today, a high percent of Americans are illiterate. A video can be uploaded to YouTube and people that had no other way of getting the information can receive it and assume it is true. The internet and social media makes it possible to have information or a cause/protest stretch from coast to coast. Once something is on the internet that is untruthful, it is very difficult to change the perception.
