They have proved time and time again that money and profits is more important than the whole truth. One of my biggest hereos of this is still doing documentaries and telling it like it is. His name is Bill Kurtis. He used to be an anchorman. He couldn't take the B.S. anymore so he left as he knew he couldn't change things. Good luck and always remember that a 1/2 truth is a whole lie.

In a developed society, the media is considered among a person’s chief socialization agents. This role is largely determined by the extensive penetration of the media into daily life. As content varies with producer, media influence is further determined by the entity controlling a given media outlet.

Also, media have a role in environmental protection, the media is evaluated as a prominent entity that socializes the general public to includeenvironmental understanding and consideration into their value systems. When evaluated as an instrument to manipulate public opinion and overall belief systems, the effects ofmedia socialization vary in relation to the entity controlling the information source. The word media references agencies of mass communication intended as sources of public information, primarily news outlets.

In developing nations, avenues of media access and exposure are not as prolific as in other developed societies due to income levels and resource limitations. The increasing availability of relevant technology and extent of modernization in China, however, assist the spread of ideas through facilitating access and exposure to these ideas. Access and exposure to media sources can be assessed by examining availability.

Similarly, the media is a source of information for rural people of economic incentivesfor changing their farming or land-use practices.
