Medialoid

The phenomena that is suggested to have begun in the 80s, intended to boost ratings, which has resulted in there no longer being a clear distinction between ethical journalism and tabloid sensationalism.
The Medialoid attack of Michael Jackson rendered a guilty conviction in the Court of Public Opinion from which he has never been fully vindicated; in spite of legal acquittal.

The Medialoid agenda of news outlets is to have an "ethical" journalist, as well as a "tabloid" reporter covering a high profile case. The latter prints salacious rumors and innuendo which the former picks up and reports as fact. As attorney Mark Geragos has said, "That is not story telling...it's a gang-bang."

Medialoid

It is mainstream media infected by tabloid journalism. The infiltration of tabloid journalism into traditional media sources, including the proliferation of sensationalism, triviality and disregard for privacy.

"Tabloid Truth: The Michael Jackson Scandal"

Tabloids rely for their content on gossip, barely credible sources, an appeal to emotion, and the use of checkbook journalism. Where the problem occurs is that mainstream media is rapidly turning into medialoid.

Medialogy

Is an undergraduate and graduate scientific education at Aalborg University, In which you through PBL, aquire knowledge in how to handle different media i.e. A tablet, a phone, computer, camera etc. in combination with the knowledge of human perception and psycology to exploit these's strenghts and weaknesies to create research, which hold usable purpose. The Title of the Undergraduate education is BSc. Medialogy and the graduate MSc. Medialogy.

Graduates in this study often end up in the Gaming Industry as either Programmers or Game Designers.
However, the dropout rate is very high, and graduates may still need a seperate portfolio.

Medialogy is not to be confused to be something like: Fox news and reporting!
The reality is that it is far from journalism, it is more like app and game development, in understanding different media in the original definition of the word Medium, however it will focus mostly on electronic media and interaction, and to some degree Human Centered design and System based design in combination.
What is George studying?

Oh he studies Medialogy.

mediality

A perceived reality influenced through media that one is exposed to. With growth of social media networking sites one could create a mediality to others based on the user generated content they display and links they share to commercial content of personal interest thereby creating mymediality.
For example if one only consumes sports and local news media specific to a region then their opinions of things could be quite different than one who consumes only international news and genre specific entertainment, then these two individuals would have a differing "mediality".
