The Media Eng 8

The original definition of the word media is “communicating with a large number of people, especially through tv, radio and newspapers''. Back in time, mostly journalists spread the word, and therefore the news. You could trust that the information was true. As society changes though, so does our communication. Who communicates in media today? Nowadays, we are surrounded by news wherever we are. Some even say that we have the whole world in our pockets - meaning in our smartphones. And by that, anyone can send out a message on social media to everyone having access to the Internet. This, however, means that all people who read updates have to be critical to the given information. We are going to read in textbook, discuss and find out more about what media is and how it affects us. You are also going to be tested in skills as your reading and listening comprehension.
