This chapter argues that the United States faces a crisis of representation, for while crime rates remain stable, the TV and other corporate-controlled mass media bury viewers beneath an avalanche of fear-based spectacles in which crime and violence are portrayed as escalating, even life-threatening crises. It then outlines a new program of media education that enables consumers of mass media to develop more informed and empowering views of the complexities of crime and violence. Focusing on prime-time dramatic television as the most prevalent source of fictional images of violence, crime, and incarceration, the chapter addresses the distorted narratives and images that saturate popular television dramas. Drawing upon interviews with ex-prisoners, it also shows how media representations of imprisonment, though inaccurate and misleading, shape the perceptions even of those who have themselves been incarcerated.

Educational Task

Everybody agrees. Although we lived in the so-called Information Society, traditional systems do not enable people to make a critical consumption of mass media. For that reason, the traditional spaces must be completed by the intervention of other actors. One of them is the newsombudsman. The aim of this article is to describe the singularity of this mechanism and to specify his instruments in his educational task. Ya casi nadie lo duda. A pesar de que vivimos en la denominada «sociedad de la información », muchas veces los sistemas tradicionales no capacitan a la audiencia para que realice un consumo crítico de los medios. Por eso, los espacios tradicionales deben ser completados por la intervención de otros actores. Uno de ellos es el defensor de la audiencia. El objetivo de este artículo es describir la singularidad de este mecanismo y especificar los instrumentos de los que dispone en su tarea formativa.

Tal vez la mirada que tengamos que educar no sea sólo la del receptor, sino también la del creador de mensajes audiovisuales, la del usuario de un medio interactivo, la de partícipe de una experiencia audiovisual en el ciberespacio. En la comunicación que proponemos pretendemos referirnos a los aspectos clave de de la educación para la televisión y los medios en general. Se tratará de ver hasta qué punto siguen siendo válidos hoy día y qué modificaciones requieren en la era digital

Three main areas of media psychology are analyzed: media analysis, media education, and media therapy in the crisis conditions of the pandemic. Today, media psychology faces a number of completely new, unexplored problems and practice-oriented tasks in a radically changing media environment, including in conditions of social distancing. Thus, the author emphasizes the increased practical significance of using the psychotherapeutic potential of the media in order to reduce and minimize the negative effects not only of the mass media itself, but also of the consequences of crisis situations.
