the power of media

I think it is very true that “ Media products are different, not least because they are more than just consumer goods---in important respects they also ‘produce’ us.” We have to admit that we are at some level influenced by media. What we watch on TV, read on the Internet or listen on the radio effect out way of thinking and changes our point if view. It is so powerful that sometimes it can be dangerous. Through media government control their people. Showing one piece of bad news on TV in China about Japan have lead Chinese people to riots. Japanese schools and shops were destroyed. Some Japanese people were hurt. Big demonstrations against Japan could be seen on the streets. All of these couldn’t have happened without media. This is the power of media. Again back to the reading “ we do not just consume, we interact.”
