Media Effect Media

It is no secret that the current generation is obsessed with media. You cannot walk anywhere without seeing teenagers, adults, and even kids using technology and social media. Everywhere you look there are ads to purchase the latest and greatest clothing, technology, or beauty products. Television standards have been lowered by the FCC and shows with explicit content have now taken over television leaving teenagers to idolize a lifestyle that is not to their best interest. But how does this media really affect us? What age is most drawn in and how does it change the outlook of their future? This would fall under evaluation research, I am seeking to find out the impact that media has on the current generation.

There are so many conflicts in life and when people go to find the truth, the media is the first to be looked at. People like to think that there is correct information from the media but in reality there isn’t. There was a book written by Bernard Goldberg called “Bias” where a CBS insider exposes how the media distorts the news. This books lectures about how news networks need to get a reality check since there is bias fed to the media. This happens when there are a large group of people who think alike that use group thinking. These groups usually get filtered news that are not all so true. The news is supposed to be where people get facts about what activities or events going on in the world. Although stories can be changed when too many like minded people make the decisions on what an audience or reader views.

The media is a powerful tool that can positively or negatively influence the masses. The media can control the way that we view certain situations. When the media portrays teenagers as disobedient troublemakers, this can negatively affect their behavior. Teenagers tend to believe anything social media tells them. They depend on what others say or do on social media sites. If you ask a teenager the major influences in their life, they will probably not have a detailed answer. Social media clearly guides the behavior of users in today’s society. As teenagers advance through life, the media will directly influence their decisions. This can lead to a possible conflict between teenagers and their family members

Today’s media likes to give the appearance of honesty and truth, but it is really still just biased propaganda paid for by the bigger powers that control the news we know today. Many People are easily swayed by big news companies because they think they can trust them, when in reality they are just taking advantage of people.

Media outlets, specifically referring to televised news station, should avoid having a bias in order to stay neutral and deliver factual news to their audience. Due to the large amount of research done, we are presented with more than enough information regarding specific news outlets, such as CNN or Fox News, and the amount of bias that is presented in their broadcasts. One of the largest issues caused by bias in the media is fake news and or the spread of false stories in events such as the 2016 US presidential election, which ultimately raised many concerns and resulted in large amounts of negative circulation through social media.

The media is one of most popular sources of information we use in this generation. It has given us the opportunity to communicate with others over social media and connect with discuss all the outlets that interest us. Whether it be sports, music, fashion, social media, or news outlets the media will always have an influence over our society. The media has the power to make great changes in our society. However, it still doesn't understand that with great power comes great responsibility.

The media has been around since the days of the printing press, to modern times where the vast network of the internet is a crucial part of everyday life. The news became popular because people want to be informed of what happens in their everyday life. Over the years, it has greatly changed and evolved. As time moved forward and technology improved, it became easier and faster to spread news and events around the world; data of information could be looked up in an instant because of innovations like computers and smartphones. Unfortunately, at the same time, it became simple to create “fake news” and manipulate the general public. Nowadays, fraudulent or flashy headlines along with false information in articles can be seen more frequently.

Media plays an enormous role on people’s lives. For the good or for the bad, people tend to believe what they constantly see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What the media wants to do is to make an affect on someone. It can literally be anything. As long as something that is said in the media creates or makes an impact on that particular person, the media has done

In a world overpowered by television, magazines, phones, and computers, media influence our society and have become an important part of our daily life. Trying to escape from media is impossible, because wherever we go media will always find a way to capture our attention. People who are dependent on the media are being affected by it unknowingly. Although there are many negative aspects of media, society depends on the persuasiveness of the media.

The idea that media can influence people of all ages in a positive and/or negative way is not usually challenged, and this is because of plentiful evidence against anyone who has stated that media is only one or the other. For example: Media cannot be only negative because it has connected people and ideas from around the world, rather than keeping us in the dark about what is happening in surrounding states and countries. It has helped individuals express their unique thoughts, opinions, and emotions, by displaying celebrities as they encourage these actions publicly. However, the negative aspects of media are as ugly as the positive aspects are beautiful… if not more so, and this is where I stand on the topic. Media, offering us chances

Mass media can be defined as communication that transmits education, information, entertainment and news to mass audiences. Whether it be print media, such as newspapers and magazines, audio visual media, such as television, or cyber media, there has been debates on the impact and to what extent it can influence the populations behaviour, thoughts or actions. Print media, such as newspapers have an agenda. People trust newspapers as a reliable source of news and information, however journalists have been caught fabricating stories in the past, e.g. fake headlines published by the ‘Sun’, regarding the Hillsborough disaster, which seen the fans of Liverpool FC being branded as

Since its early days, the media have always had a hand at molding who we are as a society. It is an extension of our culture and who we are. It has been a conduit of knowledge and information from person to person. A consistent attribute of media is the desire of the elites to control it and a resistance from people that want more freedom from such influences. Today, it is all around us, affecting most, if not all, of our daily lives. It influences how kids grow up in our society. It creates ideals that we want so much to achieve; labels us in order to promote the consumer culture. Being filled with media all the time, it can affect our society in a way that most people would think are negative. It can be a source of unrealistic expectations, a distorted look on reality, a distorted image of beauty and a reason health to deteriorate, be it physically or mentally. The media is a blessing for us, but one must be careful with it for it will always be accompanied with things that can have a negative effect on us.

According to Anderson, the discussion on whether or not media has a negative effect of the youth is being argued. He uses prime sources and conducts studies to expand the data that he has gathered. During these field studies, he observed that the participants were affected slightly from the shown examples being displayed.

In today’s ever-changing world the news media no longer acts as before. The days in which the media reported the “actual facts”, are gone. Instead, media content is shaped by economics and politics. Many people have become lazy, in that, most do not conduct their own research and rely too much on the media. This results in people becoming too trusting of the media. Typically, reporters and networks put their own “spin” on stories. For example, Fox news is known to lean more towards a republican base while CNN and MSNBC

Media has become a powerful source of knowledge, and a great breakthrough in human history. Who can regret that media is a daily need in our lives. Media has the ability and control to adjust to all levels of knowledge in people. Media helps us to escape from our daily lives and our problems in times of stress. Thou Media as proved to be beneficial by educating, entertaining and informing us, it has also have its downfall, to cause many bad influences to the younger audience. Media has influenced us to conduct bad behavior, breed violence among teens and fear to the public, thus causing a lot of negative conflicts among ourselves. Television, Music, Internet, and more, are just some of the media exposure that needs to be censored and
