Cyber-Bullying Media

The author of this report has been asked to compare and contrast three different forms of media that all pertain to the same subject, that being cyber-bullying. The three types of media that will be singled out for analysis and research are podcasts, blogs and videos. For each source, the author will assess the source's use of bias, validity and applicability of information. Beyond the compare and contrast mentioned above, the author will examine the influence of web-based information on global citizenship and multi-cultural understanding.

However, that is no fault of the NCPC (NCPC, 2015).

When it comes to blogs, the author of this report found the "stopbullying.gov" website. The page relates to both in-person and cyber-bullying but both are covered quite well. The page in question is a sub-page of the broader website in question. One article that was posted (back in April 2015) relates to how law enforcement should respond to cyberbullying incidents. This can be a bit of a gray area because simple taunts and teasing are usually not illegal unless there are threats and assaults behind the words.
