Media influences people everyday on TV, radio and the internet. These are the main kind of media’s that influence any age of the public. They are not easy to avoid. For example television is probably the hardest media to avoid as millions of people own televisions and you cannot choose what is being shown which is a way of influencing people more. Radio is also a media that is hard to avoid as a lot of people have cars which have radios in so therefore they could listen to them quite often. The Internet can be avoided but millions of people still have in on computers etc. This means that it is possibly the easiest media to avoid, but the fact that it can be used by any age is probably the scariest thing.
Media influences people on television because adverts and programmes are shown constantly and even if you do not realise you’re taking in what is being shown, it is still influencing you. The radio also influences the public because it is a very popular media to listen to and the fact that you’re not actually seeing anything makes you listen more which in turn influences you easier.
The Internet is probably the most influential media around as it is used everyday by millions of people in different countries. It is the only media that no one can actually avoid as it is everywhere. Any age can use the internet which I think can be quite scary as children are influenced easier than adults. This means if they go on something that is inappropriate for there age, this could influence them in a bad way. Another reason why the Internet is so influential on daily life is because this media will keep growing throughout our life time and therefore it will always influence people in a good way but possible influence people more in a bad way.
