The Importance of the Media

News is everything we care about. Human beings are attracted to big events, scandals, and tragedies. These must be relevant and current for us to take much notice. Unfortunately, much of the media is biased making some of the stories convincingly untrue which some people may not understand. The media gives us information worth knowing, and educates those who listen. It’s important to know where the sources are from as to know if you are actually becoming educated or just being convinced of an opinion.
The media acts as the middle man between the government and the people. Reporters and journalists ask the questions that ordinary people may not have the opportunity to ask because they are too busy or don’t have the connections to reach their state’s representatives or favorite celebrities. The media informs the public of the news they have the right to hear. Without the news and the media reporting it, the world would be full of ignorance and lost of its global communication. Therefore, it is important that people pay attention to what the news and media has to offer…what would ever get done without them?
