Me As A Consumer Of The Media

The media is a huge part of everyone's life nowadays, with positive aspects and negative aspects. Recently there has been a huge trend on the scene to help out the ALS community, to raise awareness and raise money to help find a cure for this horrifying disease. Here is an example of "The ice bucket challenge" done by famous actor Will Smith. Things like these are what makes media so powerful and great. Without media spreading awareness for great causes like these would be next to impossible and would not have anywhere near as much impact as this campaign did.



However, there are some negatives. Such as hackers finding their way into celebrity's private pictures, text messages and recent phone calls. In my opinion, however, there are more positives to media than negatives.


Here are some of the headlines over some recent hacking scandal. And these reasons are why the media can be a bad thing as time goes on.







Personally, like almost every single person my age, cant live without the internet. If my internet was to go down for a whole weekend I wouldn't know what to do with myself! Then from the internet I can access anything I want from other areas of media such as films online, music, television and even the radio if I wanted.

If you found the ALS cause interesting and didn't hear about it before this post click here to donate today! Thank you.
