The media plays a big
role in our perception
of the world .
television news
producers choose
events that are out of
the ordinary. They
also combine bizarre
subject matter and
technical
manipulations in order
to keep our attention.
this is a way how the
media manipulates its
reports of life in some
cases.
An important
technique that
television uses it
thrives on simplicity
and avoids complexity
in program content.
This way watching
television is easy and it
is a passive activity
which makes viewers
particularly susceptible
to its message.
In many cases society
makes up the news, but
at the same time we are
the one’s that choose
what we want to hear
and see , even thought
is not the thruth in
some cases. I have no
doubt that the media
manipulates its reports.
I feel confident is
saying this because I
have experience this. I
would like to share
with you something
that will show the fatal
manipulation in our
world. On CNN I saw
a report on Mexico
during 1997. they had
only presented the
<negative situations
happening in Mexico
such as economic
problems,
environmental, issues
in Mexico City, and
corruption among
some government
officials due to drug
traffic. However, CNN
never presents the
positive attraction of
this beautiful country
like he growth of some
cities throughout the
country, the political
reform that has greatly
improved the
democracy, among
others,
I would like to share
with you an interesting
comment that I got
from Mrs. Edward
was” Sometimes Net
works television
seemed to know what
they are talking about ,
but I just found out this
is not thruth” This
illustrates how CNN
representatives only
show what some
people want to see
about Mexico, not the
real picture. In
conclusion I want to
say how as a society
we are affected by this
fact , because some
times we are not able
to learn about other
cultures. We must
research thing before
we come to a
conclusion, because a
person that will judge
Mexico based upon
CNN will have a very
unrealistic view of
Mexico.
