Content: Many of the new stories that we see plastered across our screens are there because it’s specifically what the media wants the public to see. When you really think about this, it can be kind of disconcerting when you consider the types of events that get the most media coverage. A perfect example of this is something as simple as an upcoming winter weather storm. Think about all the coverage that goes into reporting how huge a snowstorm is going to be. Now, think about how people actually react to this news. People will hear about a potential snowstorm, and they will go out and buy all the food off the shelves in the grocery stores. They will fill their cars with gas out of fear that they won’t be able to get gas if they should need it. While it is always better to be safe than sorry, you can clearly see how the news programming incites people to take certain actions. We see this in everything from politics to the latest gossip on TV. Many people allow themselves to be directly affected by the news programming they receive on a daily basis.
