Social media affects how we get our news by who we follow, whether the information we receive is credible or not, the opinions you, and others, have, and because the younger children are now able to view the news in their own way. Most people are able to “follow” accounts that are dedicated to reporting the news and some get it from people who talk about it or post about it .

Medium theory is concerned with the prevalent role that technology plays in a constantly changing society, shaping patterns of both culture and communication. Research conducted by the authors, compared how newspapers and blogs differ in terms of the characterization of social media, the framing of the Steubenville rape case, and the characterization of the perpetrators and the victim. The sample included newspaper articles and blog entries released December 2012 to June 2013, the period that corresponded with the nonjury trial of the accused rapists and the aftermath of the sentencing. Altogether, the sample included 44 newspaper articles and 34 blogs. The findings demonstrated there was no significant difference in how the two platforms characterized social media regarding the coverage of the case. Concerning the framing of the case, newspaper articles were 50/50 in their description of football players as American athletes with a positive or negative connotation. Personal blog entries were heavily leaning toward the negative connotation. In addition, blog entries also discussed victim blaming/slut-shaming as a societal concern and were more likely to mention rape cover-up by coaches, officials, friends of the suspect, etc. than newspaper articles.

In today’s society, technology and social media allow widespread dissemination of information at a much faster pace than conventional media. A prevalent issue regarding technology is its effect on the extent of the influence of political events. The media has been vital in bringing awareness to political events, but it has also contributed to the spread of misleading information.

The media is a very multi-diverse business with a huge amount of competition, which is why any attention to the media is important. The most ridiculous idea may attract the larger audience.

The person will also have the preferences of the African-American usually depicted on our social media. This is an only an example of the case of the African-American identity but this theory applies to all races, but mostly our Caucasian, Indians, Asian and Latino characters. As American shows are the most broadcasted in the world, they typically gather the most viewers and the most attention.

Gory visuals of a sinister and graphic nature that document this reality of debauchery has become viral on some user’s news feed. Images and videos of dead bodies, bloody car accidents, mutilations and animal cruelty are a fragment of what users were exposed to during the November 2011 gore-porn-link spam attack (Sarachik 2011).
