News and the Media...What Are They Exactly?

“News” and “media” are words that can have several different meanings. I believe that the news is any information that is important for many people to hear, and that the media is responsible for providing the news. For an example, if a horrible murder happens, then the media will be at the scene to cover the story. Some people may not realize this, but the media is an important part of our lives. Even though some of the news that the media provides seems stupid, such as Britney Spears shaving her head, there is other news that helps us. Suppose there was going to be a big hurricane. The media would be responsible for telling people about the upcoming hurricane. This would then help people to start preparing themselves for the hurricane. The news and media can also influence all of us in a good way. When anything serious like a natural disaster happens, the media will provide news of the disaster. After everyone receives this news and realizes how bad the situation is, most of them will probably be inspired to take action and help. The news and media are definitely an important part of our lives.
