The role of media has often been a subject of much debate, particularly in terms of its role in portraying and conveying truth to the target audience.

Media is a form of communication in which we use the internet, print, or television to send and convey important messages to the public. Media has been part of us for generations in which the public is able to understand what is going on in their lives, and how as a society, can improve on certain issues. Studying forms of media influence and depict why the message is being sent whether it is for marketing, or creating awareness.

Over the centuries, the media has played a significant role in the shaping of societies across the globe. This is especially true of developed nations where media access is readily available to the average citizen. The media has contributed to the creation of ideologies and ideals within a society.

Journalism is an industry that provides a source of information and news for the public, while popular culture is a source of portrayal of the image of the journalist. Popular culture provides a glimpse and “shapes the people’s impressions of the news media”, whether it is portrayed in a positive or negative light. There is no denying that popular culture possesses a large effect on what the public perceives and thinks about journalists and the industry through how the characters, plotlines are presented. Sociologists have even argued that “popular culture’s depictions…of real world professions” have a major influence on the public’s realistic perception of that respective field. Thus, it is not a surprise that in the 1930s, journalist organizations deliberately advocated positive portrayals of the press in Hollywood. An example of a film that stands as a positive representation is The Front Page. Although the film presents reporters and editors “lying and hurting innocent people”, the audience is able to fall for their unique charm and charisma—they are brash, fast-paced, intelligent, composed, independent, passionate and investigative. They embody what America ultimately champions: self-reliance, drive for action and accomplishment. However, popular culture also perpetuates negative, unlovable notions that “journalists [are] hard drinking, foul-mouthed social misfits concerned with only twisting the truth”.

The powerful media barons have always altered broadcasts to achieve their personal or corporate agenda. What purpose does the media serve now? Measuring Bias on Television by Barrie Gunter has elaborated on the idea that news was originally set up to act as a national tool to stir thoughts. But is it? No! Is the media even enlightening the public now? After careful speculation of mass media and the communication world, I am under the impression that broadcasts have been used to entertain, frighten and cause controversy as a means to keep people watching.
Media has always been around. Traditionally there were two types of media that existed: print media and broadcast media. This was used to communicate information to the public. Politicians would use media to pass on their messages just as politicians present them. Many scholars argue media is far less important as we believe it to be. In this view, they believe media reflects society and societal changes but do not really shape them. While other scholars believe, that all contemporary politics is influenced in critical ways by the media; to these scholars, american elections are about “message”.

Current news media can no longer be considered to occupy the position of a fourth estate [Writer Name] [Institute Name] Current news media can no longer be considered to occupy the position of a fourth estate Introduction The new media distinctively associated with the nineteenth and twentieth century— the press, radio and television, the cinema and the record industry have traditionally been grouped together under the heading 'mass media’ and their study developed as a part of the sociology of mass communications (Jim, and William, 2007). At one level, this inherited vocabulary fulfils a useful descriptive function; people know what is being referred to when such terms as the media of mass communication are used. At another level, however, such terms may prove positively misleading. It is dear, for example, that the news media which are customarily referred to in this way resemble one another only superficially. The relationships between the state and broadcasting institutions, for example, are quite different from those which obtain between the state and the press or, different yet again, between the state and the cinema. Similarly, the relationship between industry and audience is quite differently articulated in the case of the record industry as compared with the film industry (Myria, 2014).

According to Jenkins ‘Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide’, It spectacles that the entertainment industry has taken the advantage of harnessing ‘New Media’ on traditional formats by focussing on the logistics and practices. This evidently helps to increase the popularity and the availability of audience participation through the use of updated technology. This is denoted through old technological formats via applying new interactive media to heighten the participation for numerous audiences. For instance, back in the day many industries i.e. entertainment had to depend on broadcasting and radio for the viewers to receive their audio or visual content.
