Reading Mass media

Newspapers, news platforms, TV and social media play a very important role in establishing public opinion. Mass and social media can spread certain ideas, promoting people to action. This is one of the reasons why you should look at information critically and get it from different sources to form a bigger picture of something. It may seem very unclear, but we are living in the world full of different ideas, ideologies and religions. And each individual group of people or individual organisation can share information from their view, so different organisations can present different information in different ways. For example, if a catastrophe happens, different political parties will blame each other for letting it happen while religious groups can describe it as God’s punishment. So, when you always listen to only one side, you will never be able to understand the whole situation. However, mass media are not the only source of information and social media play a great role in forming peoples’ opinions as well. Due to statistics, younger people tend to get their information from social networks and friends rather than from TV or online platforms. And here bloggers appear as a great power. Just imagine you watch your favourite beauty blogger that you have really respected for several years. And at some moment, this blogger tells you about the product he or she likes and gives you the advice to try it yourself. There is a big chance you will have a wish to buy it or at least keep in mind that this is something good. Nonetheless, a lot of influencers do not use the products they promote by themselves. They receive money from brands for making content about their goods. Overall, all the reasons listed above point out the importance of critical thinking and media literacy in the modern world. So, every individual including you should develop analytical skills, be careful when the source you trust promotes some products or ideas and get your information from different sources.
