The (abuse of) power of the media. By Madeleine & Agathe


The media today is very fast, thanks to Internet and new communications technology, making it omnipresent; is this not dangerous ?

The media is supposed to be objective but frequently it is not! It influences people's judgement and people have trouble thinking for themselves...

The news is often negative: wars, natural disasters, poverty and politics, etc. Why is there so little positive news ? The media contribute to the gloom of our daily lives...

The lives of the rich and famous, and even the lives of ordinary people sometimes, are revealed to the world; journalists do not respect people's privacy...

  1. So much informations, and, for a large part of it, useless ones, paradoxically contribute to some kind of disinformation ; it allows governments to hide some things more easily. People, with so much news to deal with, can be fooled without problems...
