Hey Guys. I don't think we had a post on media before, so I thought I'd create one. Lets start the conversation!
How is the media affecting your life? Does it affect your life in a positive way? Negative? Some of both? Why?

Hey, this is a great post. Have a karma! The media definitely affects my life, I get to hear what's happening in the world through the news the media provides us with. I also get to hear different points of view that helps me understand what's really happening in certain events and those facts I get help shaping my own opinions on what's going on. So that's the definitely positive part... Also, the media sometimes can have a negative affect when it is not telling us everything.

well I think unfortunately that is the paparazzi.. Gossip magazines, that's what sells.. That's why a lot of TV programmes, like even the news report a lot about celebrities, in my country they have an extra segment of the news talking gossip with and about celebs, the NEWS..
Anyways I think in a way that could be positive, it just depends on how you use it.. Do you use it to inform people via celebs or are you just going to talk who;s dating who that type of thing.. A lot of people have become more aware about global warming because people like Emily Deschanel, Jorja Fox etc have been talking about it in the interviews they do and via infomercials.. People look up to celebrities often try to live their life as similar as possible as their hero's.. So why not try to make that into a positive thing like only a handful celebs do..
The media are very broad (hence the name, media from medium) you have, television which today affects most people, the internet (which affects a lot of people too, I think maybe even more so as the TV..), the radio, newspapers, cellphones with internet.. There are so many channels and different types of channels..
And we could use it better, there are so many missed oppertunities with the media.. I think if we used the media to it's full potential with informing people, there would be a lot more action.. People would know more..
