There different media that we use today

We live in a society that mostly depends to media for information, communication and doing our daily activities. As for journalists media is a source of salary, a source of entertainment and information for various audiences and, to media publishers it is a source of profit. It is important to be aware of the relationships that we have with media, because the more a person depends on media, the more influence that media will have on the person’s life. By creating good relationship with the media, you will be creating a good lasting impression with the public through that particular media. If you can look how many people, especially celebrities who depend on media and now the media have influence in their life.

Not everyone will be influenced by the media, those who have greater needs and that greater dependency on media will be most influenced. For example Bonang Matheba bonangmatheba.com is one person whose needs are gratified by the media use, she’s forever in media and benefit by doing so. That way the media will have a good influence to your life. It can become your platform  to better opportunities. For example Minenhle Dlamini http://www.facebook.com/minenhle.dhlamini, Bonang Mathebe bonangmatheba.com and other celebrities that are well known today, some of them are successful because of the media. The media can shape your attitude and behavior in a good respective way. So the way you potray you self in front of the media, is what people will judge you on.

  2. True to that the media has taken over our lives in a way that everything we do revolves around the media. The information we get from the media we turn to make it part of our lives and our way of living. Bonang and Minenhle are greatly influential because of their use of the media. But with the media you have to be careful of how you use it don’t over use it to the point where it takes over your life.

  3. We can't argue the fact that media has taken over our lives. Media can help build a good public image or reputation of socialites,celebrities,politicians etc but at the very same time it can destroy peoples careers simply because of unreliable sources. So don't always believe what you read on papers!!!!

  4. The truth is that, media is seen as as power resource and a platform to fame but we must not forget that it can also be a platform to disgrace. Scores of celebrities and once admired men and women have turned from heroes to villians due to stories about them published or broadcasted.

  9. the media has shaped our life in the way taht we see the world so small because the media is informing us of what is happening. media has made other celebrity of who they are today and to some the media has destory them so we must be carful of what we present in the media.

  11. we live in the world where I think without media we would be nothing. If it was not for media we would not know what is happening in Seria or Egypt right now, but because of media we know each and every detial of what is going on. Media is our source of knowing the good and also the bad that is out there.
