Media: Biased, Truthful, Impactful? Over the years the media has played a big part in a ton of things. Whether it was the news or an internet report the media has always had an effect on the situation. A question often asked is “Was the media biased, can we trust the media,and lastly what impact does the media really have on society and it’s people? The media and reporters are always faced with this question. People often have different views on this subject. There is no denying that this subject normally has an effect on certain citizens. The media can show bias at times, leading to people 's views on media to change, and therefore having a positive or negative impacts on their lives. …show more content…
people. There are the good impacts as well as the bad impacts. Now the good impacts can occasionally to bad things in the end. Just like bad impacts can eventually lead to have good payoffs. Right? Jenny Q. Ta a writer for Business2Community has a few different things that she believes media has an impact on. The first one has been a common topic so far. That’s right, politics. Jenny proclaims that the media that any politician should hop right on the so called media bandwagon. The media can be your best friend or your worst enemy. This can clearly impact the politician as well as the voters just by reading an internet article or newspaper. Just like that, a vote is swayed due to the media. This can be a good impact or a bad impact depending on a person’s view. Business is another thing Jenny believes is affected by the mass media. Any internet savvy business will use the media to it’s advantage. A good example is commercials or ads. Each month Youtube has an average of one billion viewers. The world itself has seven billion people. So one seventh of the world watches Youtube every month. Businesses will place ads on there to endorse their products or just business in general. Now all in all this seems to be a good impact on business. A huge impact that plays apart in almost everyone’s life is social media. It allows us to stay up to date on many things. It gives us the power to post anything and everything. It gives the people the power to stay in touch with friends and family they don’t get to see very much. So many people use different types of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter just to name a handful. Now social media plays more into a younger person’s hands. A writer for Office of Adolescent Health conducted a survey to see how many teens used social media. “According to a Pew survey conducted during 2014 and 2015, 94 percent of teens who go online using a mobile device do so daily.
