WALT understand what media is and how it impacts our lives.

Media can either help us or destroy us! There are positive and negative impacts of Media on our lives and these are some of the discussion points we spoke about. Media is a form of communication using several ways to either find information or to provide something, like a service.

The Media is full of truth and lies because we never know if its true or not. So search the internet and ensure that the sources they have are valid. The most trustworthy information you can get is possibly from the libraries and in books because you can’t change the information in the books.

Of course, we will still need to validate what is written in these books.

Media can come in all kinds of ways;

In the Media recently, we have heard a lot about ‘The Elections”. This means we heard about who was going to be the next Prime Minister of New Zealand and which government party would be leading our country. Some of the debates and information didn’t really make sense to me, but I know I will need to take an interest in this soon. In some Media posts we read, there were some negative comments about the different leaders of the parties.
