President Nixon Resigns


Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are sat together side by side watching President Nixon resign in 1974.

The Watergate scandal had shocked America for two years and rather than admit to his wrongdoings, Nixon stepped down halfway through his second term.



Btw- Nixon decriminalized Marijuana for his greedy gain and race war , knowing fully well War on drugs was a scam motto ' in other words Nixon was not a good guy



The Watergate scandal tarnished his legacy and Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were the reporters who brought the scandal to the public's attention. Here, they are triumphantly watching as they witness their journalist venture result in the president's resignation

Great to see what Woodward and Bernstein looked like at the time. As a communication studies enthusiast with specific interest in Agenda Setting Theory of communication, permit me to further enrich this post:
_______________________________________________

Em Griffin in his 2003 book entitled: A First Look At Communication Theory, gave a comprehensive account of antecedent events of 1972 that inspired new dimensions to media effect research.

In the book, Griffin narrated how the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in June 1972 otherwise referred to as "the Watergate scandal" was followed by repeated coverage and reportage of the crime from various angles by News Editor Ben Bradlee and reporters; Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein religiously until almost every American became familiar with the story, ultimately leading to the impeachment and subsequent resignation of U.S President Richard Nixon, who majority of citizens believed was either responsible for the break-in or had tried to cover it up.

For proponents of powerful media effect at the time, that development (how consistent media reports drew mass public attention to watergate) could not have occured at a better time, considering how multiple studies between the 1940s and 1950s such as (Lazarsfeld et-al 1948) were unable to find proof to substantiate the notion that the media produced an overwhelming effect on its consumers.

Journalism professors McCombs and Shaw simply regarded events surrounding Watergate as a perfect example of the agenda-setting function of the mass media that shows how the mass media have the ability to transfer the salience of items on their news agendas to the public agenda.

Simply put, "we look to news professionals for cues on where to focus our attention and we judge as important what the media judge as important"

Do you agree with this Agenda Setting theory?

Ofcos the claims in the tenets of the theory have been subjected to several correlational and experimental studies over the years for confirmation, but I wouldn't want to bore anyone with that..

Is there anyone here pursuing an MSc or PhD in Digital Marketing or E-Marketing/New Media Marketing?
Anyone writing any papers or looking for collaborations?

I am pursuing a PhD in journalism and media studies.

My ongoing work is on computational politics and not exactly Marketing, but, I feel we can come up with something for a new paper.

Aladegba:
could this be what Harold Lasswell was thinking when he defined politics as who gets what, when and how? Obaseki is a student of politics and he knows better

Interestingly, the scholar defined communication in a similar manner. His definition formed the bases for many news writing and reporting technique/model used by journalist/communicators worldwide.

He defined communication as:
Who?
Says What?
In What Channel?
To Whom?
With What Effect?

Ciao!
