The media is very influential to our daily lives. News is written,
published, and read by everyone around the world. The place where I get the
most news is off Facebook. When people I know read an article online or decide
to share it, then it pops up in my news feed. From there, I am able to see what
news interests them and maybe it would interest me too. It will also show
others who read the same article too. I find that fascinating because Facebook
is a social network that not only connects people around the world, but also
brings news to us in a new, modern way. What I read in the media sometimes
makes me bias in certain situations. I do not do it on purpose, but when I
remember certain things I read in the news, it makes me more wary about decisions
I make, especially major decisions. Overall, the media is a strong, influential
thing in all our lives, no matter how we use it.
I agree with you that the media is really influential in our lives. I also get my news from facebook and also the homepage on yahoo, but each time one of my friends reads an article that looks interesting to me i cant help but click on the link. I thought it was a good idea by facebook to post articles on facebook because not many students go online to look at the news unless it is for a project. In the world the media shapes our lives, but sometimes media could be biased and really be one sided on a subject.
