The Evolution of Media
The study of media history is important in the understanding of people and the societies. Through the study of the past we gain an understanding of what and why things happened. History gives you back your past. In the same way as individual people need memory to shape identity and plan for the future, communities need history to give dimension and meaning to the present. Without an understanding of the past, the present doesnāt make much sense.
Therefore the media play an important role in society as a source of information, but also as a āwatchdogā or scrutinizer. ā¦ However, the media is free to select the stories they consider important or interesting. Therefore, the media is often perceived as an influencer of public opinion. Ā
Media plays very a important role and has influence in virtually every aspect of our lives. It is considered as the best source to know about the happenings of world. ā¦ It greatly affects our lives because media has the power to influence our thoughts. This influence is sometimes positive and sometimes negative. Ā
