Impact of Media on Society

Media is a “communication channels” through news, entertainment, education, data or promotional messages. Media includes broadcasting and narrow casting medium such as television, radio, newspapers, internet, mails, telephone, fax and magazines and so on.

Nowadays, people are using these media to transmit what’s happening in today overall the world. For the example: political, economic, business, sports and so on. Because of everyone were using media to get information, so it will be a big influence to every scope in society.

Television is a quite popular because we can get the latest news from it. Television also can entertain and giving education to people. For the example, children can increase their knowledge through watching science, geographic channel, and quiz for UPSR/ SPM and so on. Furthermore, radio is the other good way to get some short news. I am the one, who are using radio to get short news and entertaining during I drive my car to college or other place. I didn’t watch television, so I always get news from radio and internet. The internet is a way to give many options for the kind of information required.

Of course, there was no such as a perfect thing in this world. Media has the bad impact which is too sensitive. For the example, if someone spreading something bad or some wrong information, the audiences will just keeping follow what they had spreading without any suggestion or objection. When someone wants to launch an attack other people intentionally, media is a best way for them. They can control the media as they want, they just need to make some fake information. Although it can easily to control by anyone to spread the fake information, but if they are doing well in control, it was no problem.

For me, media is a “speaker” to convey information to everyone. Even though it was a sensitive thing to spread the information, it still is a “good speaker”. If we are living without any media, we will lose “connect” to each other around the whole world and can’t get idea what was happening around you. Accordingly, media is a good impact on the society more than bad impact.
