Relationship with the Media

The media that I interact with most on a daily basis includes newspapers, televison, and the internet. Because technology plays such a major role in society today, it it just natural to recieve news through this source. It is quick and easy for me to access information through this form of mass communication. Newspapers such as The Hartford Courant also transport daily news to me. Though printed versions are not as common nowadays, I prefer to recieve information on print rather than through technology. I believe that printed media makes more of a statement in my mind than online news. It is natural that I am often presuaded by a news article. Just by reading a simple piece of information can change my opinion on an event or idea. Language in the media not only reels me into the topic, but has the power to change my point of view. This immense persuasion has definitely shaped my identity. Even though I have the power to create my own outlook, it is common that something in the media influences it to a great extent.
