Pragmatic Analysis

Pragmatic analysis could simply be classified as just another branch of philosophy - most concerned with the truth and depth of practicality and the cause and effect. Pragmatics believe the truth is depended upon the way problems are solved; a pragmatic is most concerned with the result and outcome of various aspects in general and in society for common good. Practical reason, regulation, truth and understanding is what pragmatist's view what media should embody and showcase to society. It is hard to please everyone, but with logical reason and regulation, from a realistic point of view, pragmatics view media as somewhat essential for the benefit of common good.

From Pragmatism Approach, there are two concepts that influence the overall analysis: consequences and contingencies  Consequences first off refers to the effects of a given regulation or policy on general society at large. Pragmatics believe the consequences must be beneficially for society if the regulation is considered to be good. While Contingence on the other hand deals with the factors of a regulation to be addressed as the final context and situation. Furthermore, social norms such as technological uses form contingent factors influence the types of regulations. The first set of regular contingencies is the tension between free speech and public interest. The second set of regular contingencies is the give and take relationship between government regulation and media self regulation. If it is one thing that the media strives to attain is the interest of a wide set audience. From a pragmatic perspective, the main thing pragmatics are interested in are the answers and deeper context in their choices of content and overall message. Subject to chance, regulations associated with media must benefit the common good overall and what ultimately interests the greater target audiences.
