Media and Politics

The media effects politics and makes it capable for everyone to be able to see politics and what is going on in the world basically firsthand. Without the media, politicians would not be able to do nearly half what they do to campaign. For example, politicians almost always have television commercials, ads on billboards, signs in people’s yards, etc, to campaign for the election. Without mass media techniques, the politicians would be much less successful with getting their messages across to the communities.
Also, the media makes it possible to us to see politicians globally. Because of technology, people in the United States can watch news about any other country. There are even certain stations designated to certain countries, for example, Al-Jazeera, which is an Arab based station.
