global media and politics

Media is global however the globe certainly does not get the same media material. By this I mean that many countries have the ability to get news, television, radio and even Internet. Some countries, however, are deprived of the correct information because of the government’s policies. China, for example, does not always know what’s going on in the country, as the government wants to save it ‘s image and ideals. Although for countries that do not have strict policies, the media can really only benefit the public. Here in the United States, we obtain so much information about politics and what is going on through many medias. This certainly benefits the public so we are well informed. We really must be well informed, as to be able to vote fairly.

So are media and politics related? Of course they are. Politics are what allows these media to exist and theoretically, the media does the same, as they promote or denote political ideas. This is one more instance in which it is easy to say one cannot really belong without the other.
