As all of you may know, this weeks class discussion have focused on the ability and power that media has over our life now. We spent last class lecture discussing the negative aspects in which media has altered our way to gain information and we explored the depths in which companies agenda set the stories we receive. Yet, we did not really focus on the range that media has over our society. In this article I found on US NEWS it elaborated on how media has fundamentaly changed the world. It listed examples on how the media allows us to engage and be apart of change. Whether its through donations or awareness the way we can stay one hundred percent in contact with others is astonishing. The article then expands on the "five" new ways that media is changing politics and our environment. Media has become a powerful tool in connecting with the world. Whether you can "like" "share" "connect" or customize your own news page, the depth in which media can supply information is what changing our world for the better. We are now being offered news, at any point in the day, on any website and on any channel on the radio. Whether its political or entertainment the ability to get the news at an expedite rate is for the better.
