INFLUANCE OF THE MEDIA

Every day we read newspapers and magazines. Every day we watch

television news broadcasts and hear short news briefs on the radio.
Every day we are influenced by the media.
The press has almost always delivered the facts, or at least what it
perceives to be the facts, to the people. I do not dispute this.
But are we, the general public of our country, seeing all sides of
issues? Are we, the consumers of journalism, always told about both
sides of the dispute? Or does one side continually get the edge over
another, getting more press coverage and a more positive attitude
from the media?
Some people complained that children nowadays tend to be lazier
and more violent and want to come in for a share of social's product
as much as possible. This is simply the result of bad programmes
shown on T.V all time, incontrollable websites and even the
carelessness of parents. To be free from their children, some people
allow the children to surf the webs, without noticing that there are
plenty of disasters on Internet which the young have little experience
to deal with. People, especially teenagers, always have an idol and
they tend to follow what their idols do and say no matter these things
are good or bad.
In conclusion, we have absolutely no control over the media.
However, we do have the final decision on the path we choose to
take. The extent of the power mass media is able to influence us only
reaches this far, the rest is really still within our control.
