Description: By shaping norms, policy debates, and public perception, media outlets influence both what we think and how we behave. It&rsquo;s especially interesting that this dynamic applies across platforms&mdash;from broadcast to digital&mdash;where the lines between producer and consumer blur. Recognising this, we have a responsibility to stay critically aware of how messages are framed and whose interests they serve.
