In our country's lifetime, media has played a crucial role in our society. It has very powerful influence in our nation and is involved in practically all aspects of life. It covers small topics to large, boring to interesting, it doesn't matter, the media's job is to provide information. Thinking of our couuntry's history, the time when William Randolph Hearst introduced "Yellow Journalism" for the first time. This type of media direction set out to make the United States look good to its people but it masked the truth of the Spanish- American War.
William Randolph Hearst makes it very clear he is the boss of journalism.
However, the media could be considered dangerous or too influencial. It's dedication to sort through every little detail to get a story could infrindge on a persons guarenteed right of the First Amendment. The media has the right idea, they do the job they were tasked and they do it well. They are assigned to dig for the truth in any situation, even situations where it is clear cut and finished. A journalists job is noble one and when done correctly it can illuminate the darkest corners of the world, inspiring people to make an effort in repairing that dark corner.
