ADDRESSING CYBERBULLYING ISSUE ON e-MAGAZINE'S HEADLINES

Original Post

Discrimination, especially discrimination behaviors on social platforms, is often difficult to recognize. We are familiar with discrimination behaviors such as scaring, angering, or shaming those who are targeted. Face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying can often happen alongside each other. But cyberbullying leaves a digital footprint – a record that can prove useful and provide evidence to help stop the abuse.

Every day, reading online newspapers, do you realize this is what e-magazines do to attract readers? Shocking, dangling headlines that don't provide enough information just to get people curious?


In 2019, the campaign "Bye bye bully - Stop spreading hurtful messages" had addressed the problem of the growing scale of violence with the use of electronic media among children and young people. The campaign was initiated by A magazine. The interesting fact is A magazine's headlines are personally offensive (body shaming, harassment, spreading lies, etc). It seems to be A magazine was going against everything they fought for.

However, "Bye bye bully" campaign had made a great impact on social platforms. With the influence of this campaign, perhaps online newspapers need to put more effort to "stop spreading hurtful messages".
