Brainstorm for a moment. All of these are forms of media. Some types of entertainment, such as cartoons, popular music, video games and films, may also be considered media.
Many people are concerned about the amount of violence they are exposed to in the media.
Experts estimate that by the time you are 18 years old, you'll have seen roughly 18,000 murders on television alone. You'll certainly see or listen to many violent acts in films, videos and video games, cartoons, comics and even books and music. Photo Some media, such as newspapers and TV and radio news programs, have an obligation to notify the public about news, current events and other items of public interest. In general, we trust the mainstream news media to report the facts, without glorifying violence or making it seem sensationalistic. Other entertainment media, notably the television and film industries, sometimes produce shows in which violence is glorified.
