Teen Vogue: 7-Year-Old Jackeline Caal Died in Border Patrol Custody After Migrating From Guatemala

Central American migrants are arrested by US Border Patrol agents after jumping over the metal barrier separating Playas de Tijuana in Mexico from the US, 2 December 2018


A 7 year old, Jackeline Caal, has died in in Border and Customs Patrol Custody after travelling with 163 other people, some family members, to the border in New Mexico. They turned themselves in around 10:00 on December 6th, the next morning the little girl had a fever and was having seizures, it was reported that she had not "eaten or consumed water for several days". Caal was taken to a children's hospital in Texas but unfortunately died within 24 hours.

This is an example hard news as it reports on immigration and how inhumane circumstances led to a young girl passing away. This article talks about a very serious topic which has been a problem for quite a while and there has been many other problems linked to the borders.

This may interest an audience as it helps people follow the problems with immigration (surveillance) as it seems to be an unfortunate problem occurring all over the world today.

This is an example of quality journalism as it is about a very severe situation and was not published for the simple fact to entertain the audience or make profit. This article gives people an insight on the problems that are not shed enough light on.

1) What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated? Systems of regulation are required  to provide rules and regulations to ensure that organisations operate  fairly. In the media industry there are several regulatory bodies that exist  to monitor the way that their industries work. Broadcast media (TV and Radio) are regulated by OFCOM – the OFfice of COMmunication and the advertising industry is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority 2) What is OFCOM responsible for? OFCOM is responsible for regulating television, radio, telephone services and some aspects of the internet. 3) Look at the section on the OFCOM broadcasting code. Which do you think are the three most important sections of the broadcasting code and why? I think section 1 is the most important because under 18's being exposed to too much could really affect the way they love life and the way they act seeing as they are still vulnerable. I also think that section 4 (religion) is

Audience Theory 2

1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? - I think that anti-social behavior and violence can be partially blamed on media but not fully because there is other things that can result in people becoming violent. For example the upbringing of a person or past experiences could have a large impact on the way they act however some people could be very passive or be intruiged by villains in movies. 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. - In my opinion the social learning theory is not as relevant now because audiences are not as easily influenced as before. For example in the 1930's when it was World War 2, Adolf Hitler had someone in charge of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. This was a way of Hitler making the people of Germany think that
