Every day, I see some kind of Media coverage. The more I get older, the more the media gets distorted.
Media has changed in various ways with advertisements, news coverage, movies, cartoons, etc.
It seems like everything is retouched and unatural today.
The way I perceive media today is different because growing up, I thought most things in the Media world was in a way, true. Today, I have to research for a couple days on the topic to see if its true.
What I learned is that, the news companies only cover what is news-worthy... leaving out most of the content.
I remember how I viewed and got a little jealous of the girls' almost impossible clear skin in magazines. Now that I am more educated on how that is not their skin, it is all retouching done and shaping behind a computer screen.
With technology present, it is more common for celebrities in magazines to be not real, not real as in their skin body shape and everything else.

They send a message to girls globally that this is what YOUR skin should look like.
As time went on and seeing the video of Killing Us Softly 4, it disgusted me oh how girls are objects and men are shown to be aggressive.
Media has changed me by how I view on judge content. Trust is failed when I find out the truth.
I dont think Media should be someones' reliance on information and role models.
It is damaging to society!
