When it comes to the media, it has always been the best way to spread information. During the Civil Rights movement, the media did not cover the things it should have. Although during the event of “Bloody Sunday”, which happened on March 7, 1965, the news somehow caught the action on camera. After the incident, ABC news center broadcasted the video during the middle of a movie that was playing. The whole nation was baffled by what they had saw, African Americans getting beaten, and struggling their way through tear gas, trying to continue their march onto the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The bridge had been blocked off causing all the protestors to get caught and abused. The media finally used themselves for good during this time, having the entire nation finally see what was really happening and how bad it really was. Over the years many things have been documented on the news, from war to political discussions. In todays time the media has grown in several ways, social media, television, cell phones, and an ever-growing amount of things are available to spread all of todays current events. Social media is a great way for individuals to grow their topics or ideas and to post as they wish within moderation. I use social media in my everyday life, yet I do not use it to its full potential as I probably should. Many famous activist have found ways to use the platforms they have to spread large amounts of positivity, change, and to motivate others to do the same. Media can be great for spreading amazing things, but also it can be the perfect place to spread false information or to start rumors. Over the decades of having the internet and media many famous individuals have had horrible rumors spread or even some having their careers come to an end or near. For example, in the time that Donald Trump was in office, there was a fake news spread that he had sent his own plane to transport 200 stranded marines. This information was falsely spread by a media show host, but was believed by many. Things like that can cause lots of rumble that is not needed. In modern day we have a lot of positive and negative ways, but when it comes to the impact for change in todays time I feel the media is sort of a great thing for that. As always with things of this sort, there can be negative things to happen but overall, I feel the media is a good way to impact change and hopefully in the future more change can be made with our use of media.
