The Proper Distance Project

In this space of hospitality, students of Communication Theory from different schools share their understanding of how the media can be too close, too far, and, in ideal moments, both close and far. In so doing, it is hoped that they contribute to the negation of a mediapolis of complicity and collusion and the fostering of a mediapolis of understanding.

Celebrities are constantly stalked by papparazzis who want to catch them acting "just like any human being." Their private lives are penetrated to the deepest level, down until their most private acts such as sex tapes.


Media has shaped the audiences vision of people such as Kim Jong Il, Jack the reaper, Abu Sayaff and Hitler as heartless and down right evil. The media dictates that these people are creating havoc just for the sake of it and the hardly dwell into the possible reasons for their behavior.


Proper Distancing in the media talks about how the media shows our similarities and differences at the same time. Our group has chosen the 9/11 attack media coverage because it shows the audience something that is distant from them , which is the attack and terror but at the same time homogenizes the audiences because everyone knows the feeling this event evokes which is anger and sadness for the lost souls.
