media

Ever since the computer was invented, media has changed dramatically. People may not have lost their taste for the printed word, but nowadays far more of those interested in what is happening in the world turn to online sources.

Internet media gives one a chance to research that story just heard in passing on the live broadcast. For example, a political office holder might have trouble with his or her constituents. A look at a website will help clarify what the issue truly is. Someone else could make headlines for putting the wrong foot forward. No matter what the slant is, print media in all forms can bring better understanding.

One new media form is social networking. New friends can be made by seeing who shares a particular interest, Even if the response is low, the need will always make these sites financially stable.
