As we know the media plays a huge role and has influence in almost everything in today’s society. The media is often considered as an institution whose role is to deliver information in a way that is fair and does not discriminate.

The way that media reflects a coverage of political events or even sports and sports personalities is often questionable due to the issues that the media presents and the way it does it raising serious questions about their role. With this said the media still is and will most than likely continue to be a important medium of information and events in our everyday life.

I hope this helps, Regards.
