The media is a way of visually learning and understanding what is happening in the world . For example, Walter Cronkite, news anchor gain trust to the American people. Cronkite was able to publicize the Vietnam war. It changed the way Americans see war. This, at the time, "...jeopardize public support for the war effort."
Broadcasting images and videos allows you to become involve with events. If a person is a makeup artist, you use social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and etc. You are using social media to spread your business. Social media allows myself to post and share pictures with others. By doing this, people who I do not see on a daily basis can see that I am alright.
Most of the event, stories and images shared on social media, people can relate to. For example, one issue that occurred in May 2016 was the killing of Harambe, a gorilla who died from being shot after a young boy fell into his territory. Many people were outraged that the parents was not paying attention to their son. There are many memes relating to the gorilla's death. Also people hare images people always have questions to in facetious ways. For example, pictures will compare and contrast the size of meals at a expensive restaurant versus a inexpensive restaurant.
There are various ways the media covers activists and protest. The 2016 Presidential Election includes many protesting. The two candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump swarm in a tumultuous crowd on both sides. Many Clinton followers protest to get Trump to back down the race. The relationship between the media covering activists acts of resistance and protest shows how people choose to react to certain issues or topics, It can be either violent or peaceful. Media has affected many people in both positive and negative ways.
