Jessica's Introduction

Media's presence in our daily lives is very important and crucial as it connects us everywhere around the world without stepping a foot outside our countries, cities, town's, neighborhoods, or even our homes. It is a reliable source of information found and passed on to the viewer with a truth to every story whether it may be altered a bit. Still an average person can see through all the theories, exaggerations, alternations, and added information and can grab the basic input of the story. Sources of media make our lives much easier as it can connect us around the world, provide us with knowledge, pass around helpful tips and precautions, help us prepare our day, and saves our time by providing substantial amount of information in the least amount of time. Media sources helping important situations to be encountered and dealt with can be added to the lists of media's importance in our society. It can be claimed that Media cares more about helping with issues than any other person or group elsewhere. Examples of media's standing and hold on each important issue can be determined and demonstrated by references of the Tsunami in Southeast Asia case where various sources of media's input of the story will be presented from Newspapers to the Internet and from the television to Photographs.
