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.

Miriam College (Sat 8:00-11:00) Group 4




Prying on Hollywood celebrities’ private lives has become somewhat of an addiction to a lot of people including people outside the U.S. With the collage of pictures, we will be able to see that the paparazzi and the public make such a big deal about even just the simple normal things they do. Because of this, they are deprived of privacy and personal space.




First and second picture: American Idol and America’s Next Top Model
Even though the shows were labeled as “American” programs, they still considered other races to participate, giving proper attention to their talent or cultural value.

Third picture: South-African children in school
The media frequently gives its attention to the sufferings of African children. However, the picture at the bottom of the collage illustrates that there are also children who are educated. The picture did not neglect that other image of African children.
