    The document discusses the social responsibility theory of the press. It states that this theory was used in many developing countries in the mid-20th century as an alternative to libertarianism. Social responsibility theory emphasizes that media has a duty to serve the public interest and promote democratic values through ethical reporting and public participation. The document then provides two case studies, the first on the Black Lives Matter movement and its use of social media, and the second on misinformation that spread on social media following the November 2015 Paris attacks.

    Social Responsibility Theory
    • In mid 20th century most of the developing countries and third
    world nations have used this social responsibility theory of press
    which is associated with “the Commission of the Freedom of
    Press” in United States at 1949.
    • In the book “Four theories of Press” (Siebert, Peterson and
    Schramm) it’s been stated that “pure libertarianism is
    antiquated, out dated and obsolete.” That paved way for
    replacement of Libertarian theory with the Social
    responsibility theory.
    Features:
    • Private press ownership
    • Helps democracy prosper
    • Media as a democratic institution
    • Public participation
    • Emphasis on social responsibility
    • Code of ethics

    • The November 2015 Paris
    attacks were a series of
    coordinated terrorist attacks that
    took place on Friday 13 November
    2015 in Paris, France and the city's
    northern suburb, Saint-Denis.
    • The Islamic State of Iraq and the
    Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility
    for the attacks, saying that it was
    retaliation for French airstrikes on
    Islamic State targets in Syria and
    Iraq.
    Misinformation on social media

    Images circulating on social media
    depicting Parisians flooding the streets of Paris
    with signs reading "not afraid" are from a series
    of marches in January following the Charlie
    Hebdo attacks.

    While there was an outpouring of
    support after the Paris attacks, unfortunately,
    this image of a German march is not one of
    them.
