Being in the media field is one of the most stressful jobs you can have, constantley fighting with a group of people to win over someones attention who usually is famous or important in some sort. The media crews will do anything to get to the people that they need to talk to in order to keep their jobs. Lives and families depend on whether or not you can get an interview or ask a question to someone with significant value. I feel like that’s really where ethics and boundaries have to be made when in or around the press (media).

We all know the videos and run outs between very famous people and what is known as the “paparazzi”. The crazy media team with flashing cameras and recorders rolling at all times picking up every movement and sound that the celebrity makes. Yes, this really does happen to an extent. They really “boost” this in movies and TV shows but this does actually happen. There are so many positives to being a celebrity, basically having unlimited money and can have and do whatever you want, however, the media is one of the biggest negatives to being a celebrity. At first, all the attention and fans can be awesome because you finally get to feel like a pop star but I can assume it gets very old after a little while, people watching everything you do and reporting on it to the whole world is something that I’m okay living without. I’m assuming everyone has seen the video of the reporter telling Kanye West “good morning” and Kanye simply responds by telling the reporter to “Shut the ___ up”. This is one of the best examples of the media invading someone’s privacy. Kanye does have a reputation to go crazy

The media continues to get larger and larger every year as new technology comes out and social media platforms. There are so many media jobs available in that field. As annoying and abnoxious this may seem to some people, the first ammendment protects people by being able to express freedom of the press. They are annoying and like little mosquitoes nipping at you at all times, but there are careers and money and ammendments that protect that. in my opinion, the biggest media channels on TV are the source for the biggest news across the world. Most of these channels and programs are very biased when it comes to political views, views on the economy and when it comes to changes that need to be made. I think FOX is very guilty of this for being biased and I think CNN is also very guilty of this because they are very biased as well. Channels and social media pages like TMZ live for fake drama and fake news across the country. There are some really reliable pages and channels to watch but for the most part, it’s very hard to believe anything you hear when it comes to the media.

In conclusion, I think the media is a very pivotal thing for people to hear what they want to hear and to get a quick info scoop along the way, but at the same time, I think it’s very toxic and negative for the people who feed into the biased takes that people have to say when they get a platform to talk on, but we do need media in our lives.
