Explain what is meant by the term “media.” Cite four examples.
Media are forms of communication that reach a large number of people, such as newspapers and magazines, television, films and videos, books, radio, and musical recordings. Aany form of media in itself is neutral, and that it can be used for good or bad. Today's society, children and adults will be bombarded by media messages; it is hard to avoid being affected by what we see and hear and read. That's why it is important to learn to control the media by choosing what is good and helpful.
