Gaslight Journalism

Gaslight journalism is when a journalist write inflammatory article or review bomb any personality/company by falsely accusing them of discrimination or try to get dirt on them by finding something negative in their past and run their article repeatedly to making the victim believe they are really guilty. They do this force the person/company to hire people who only believe in point of view of gaslight journalist or sometime hire the service of journalist itself. They can even manipulate them toward funding particular organisation or even political party.

Guy1- Remember that self proclaimed journalist who accused gaming company of being ultra sexist and racist?
Guy2- Yeah! what happened?
Guy1- Today he/she asked that company to hire her/him as "Consultant and expert of these issue"
Guy2- lol, thats gaslight journalism. Those companies ain't that stupid!

frowny-face journalism

A subset of the more general human interest story, frowny-face journalism takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, takes a big photo of some sad children whose playcentre is closing, an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing or, in this case, a recently unemployed man losing his home(s). This way, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'.

"Did you read that article about the sad children whose playcentre was bulldozed down and replaced with a right-wing lobby group headquarters?"

"Was it Frowny-face journalism"

"it made me go awwww"

frowny-face journalism

Frowny-face journalism is a subset of the more general human interest story, which takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, uses a large photo to illustrate the sadness of the story (e.g.crying children whose playcentre is closing or an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing). As a consequence, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'. This is bad enough in itself, but there is an added danger: that of taking the analogy between the sad individual and the social issue too far.
Reading such stories is a common cause of news-rage

Example of a frowny-face journalism piece from the New Zealand Herald "Bruce Burgess, 60 years old and a qualified engineer, has been busy his entire adult life. Aside from a couple of years overseas in the early 1970s, he has worked, paid his taxes and saved his money.
His wife Jo has held down regular work as an office administrator and accounts person. Neither of them smoke, they don't take extravagant holidays, and drink only occasionally."
It makes you go "awwww"
