Roland Barthes - How to Read the Signs in the News

French philosopher Roland Barthes would have seen the TV screen as a cultural text - there to be read, interpreted, decoded.

    It's meaningless though...... It's like 10% of an idea. I'm guessing you filled in the rest with your own imagination.

    I know this comment is a year old but, in brief: all media have a set of internal points of meaning which interact to induce receivers of their messages believe them. All media have a rhetorical strategy. Semiotics, for Barthes, is the laying bare of this strategy in plain terms.

    That's because the CNN zombies in blue cities won't regard any message as important unless it comes behind an exotic accent

    Ryan Stelzner But mostly EXC, no? I actually understood almost every single word. I like Al Jezeera. It has to be in the same league with the NYT or the WaPo. It certainly gives a truer perspective on the ME than American or even European media.

    I also had to use English subtitles .. I also think that the representation of Barth and his theory was really confusing.. I actually had to look it up myself as well to understand the gist in a better way
