The media is corrupting our society. Do you agree?
Personally, I feel that the media is corrupting our society but to a small extent only. To me, the media acts as a medium to convey messages to the audience. They update us with the latest news and provides us with facts and important information.
Various forms of the media are television, reading materials, the radio etc. Through the television, and reading materials such as newspapers and magazines, we get exposed to advertisements allow us to get information on the latest fashion or events which are happening around us and the news keep us updated on events which are taking place.
However, media can corrupt our society by confusing us with truths and lies. For example, the news may not report on all facts. They may alter some parts of the news and tell us information which are questionable. In fact, news reports are usually edited and not all truth is told to the audience.
