Today I learned how to write a persuasive essay and discussed the writings about media, which were very interesting. Media's 5 main problems:ownership, advertising, sourcing of news, fear of negative responses(law suit) and anti-communism. I didn't know how much these problems influenced on the way TV stations report before, but now I found that media controls information without almost all the viewers noticing the fact. It scares me so much. The events in Greece is a serious problem now, but other countries called PIGS(Portugal, Italy, ((Greece)), and Spain) is in a crucial stage in economics. I want to pay attention to news on these countries and see what TV reporters say to them.
