Media

According to the dictionary, media means “A form communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines that reach or influence people widely”. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but people have taken it too far. I understand media if it’s a way of informing positive news, documentals, etc. but people have deformed this tool and are using it for all wrongs. To start, most of them are only informing nations about the negative news worldwide. Deaths, gunshots, bombs and war. Those are the themes mostly seen when you watch the news on your TV or pick up a newspaper. A lot of positive things happen all around the world, why emphasize on the negative ones?

The one thing that I understand even less about the media now a days is its approach towards celebrities. They inform there every step and breath. There celebrities, I get that they appear on media because that is what they do. Whether they sing, dance or act its part of their job. Even if they don’t want it to be the media is part of their living in general. But there is a limit. I don’t want to know about what color dress certain artist was wearing, who got back together after a tremendous brake up in the middle of the mall or what are there secrets to maintain there “beauty”. There are children dying of hunger, on every newspaper there should be a news on the front page saying were we can donate to help their cause or things like that, not what’s Rihanna’s favorite place to travel is (I have nothing against the such said artist, I’m just giving an example). Honestly that’s why I stopped watching TV and reading newspapers. It’s ridiculous what there publishing now a days and it sickens me that some people actually like to read/watch those kinds of news. That’s why I rather read those fantasy books most of the people hate. Maybe there fantasy but they teach me more about ethics, morals and give me a more positive impact on life itself more than actual newspapers or social media (besides the adventures and amazingly written characters on some books, obviously).
