Media can never be neutral, no matter what. We find out what is going on with the worlf through media, in its many forms. Of course, many of us are familiar with what media is because it is all around us. Some examples are television, billboards, electronic gadgets and devices that can be used to send and receive information.
Media calls the shots and dictates to society what is popular. They have the power because no matter what side they choose, they can always benefit either by siding with a name for themselves or earning money and prestige.In line with this, media is not responsible for protecting the people. It should be giving to the people the truth or news that they deserve, but is the truth compromised? of course it is because as mentioned, media is biased.
We, the people or the audiences of media, are directly affected because we depend on what media presents to us. We will never really know what the truth is unless we investigate. But who really has the time and can give effort to go the extra mile? Clearly, media is our sole source.Whatever we infer from media shapes our minds and sways our perceptions. What is crucial therefore is what is important- how you think about things and not what you are thinking.
We should be responsible as individuals, who have the power to chose whether or not to believe what media tells us. We have to give ourselves the right to claim what is really the truth rather than just be conformed to the media's ideas and concepts.
