According to David Buckingham media is defined as a channel. “Media do not offer a transparent window”. Media act as channel of information and knowledge through which citizens communicate. This means that we are developing our communication through the use of Media and . Media are essential facilitators of democratic processes and one if the guarantors of free and fair election. These are one of the functions of Media.
By determining and analyzing of its functions. Do Media Shape us or Do we shape Media. I think its both media shape us and we shape media and I think its safe to say that Media is to influence the development of being a citizen, student and as a literate person. For me, we shape media by using media as a source of information and facts, like doing or making research tittle. Media shaping us, by gaining experience and knowledge about a certain thing or phenomena. Example is ” 5 minute crafts on youtube. As we all know, we have 3 types of media; Print, New and Broadcast. To be an effective person, we must remember our own limit, Because we might criticize by others, we must be careful to our post on social media. Specially when there’s a problem between two person or celebrities. New Media is the most problematic media specifically Social Media like Facebook and Twitter, because anyone can post or make fake news. As a student or a literate person we must think before we click.
As I end my blog, I posted my opinions and ideas about Media shaping us and Us shaping media. I hope you learn something new and don’t forget to think before you click.
