The media has many promises. If there was no media, how would I have know that this week was suppose to be very cold. Only a few days ago people were wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts, but today people are wearing winter jackets and gloves. When a person is going on vacation to a different part of the country they are able to tell what the weather is going to be like there because of the media. Through language the media is able to communicate not only in matters of weather but in matters of much more.
Society is able to be informed through the media.
We are able to know who the president on the night of election day because of the media. We are able to know who dies and when the service is going to be for them because of the media. We are able to read about what is happening on the other side of the country because of the media. For years the media has informed the public in major events. Back in the days of the World Wars the people in the United States were able to follow their country through the attacks because of media.
