What is the importance of media in education?

Answer 1

We are bombarded with media and its messages; apparently, a North American student in High School spends more time watching TV than he does with his

teachers. Have a look at Vance Packard's book Hidden Persuaders and you will

be amazed how advertisers in TV and newspaper ads. etc. manipulate us. The more we understand how media operates, the less we will be conned. One of the first things a conquering army does is seize TV stations, newspapers and the like because if you control them, it is easy to control the populace.

Answer 2

Media does not educate people. It supposidly fills you in on "WORLD news" Which is a hunk of garbage.

Media only brainwashes people into thinking things but if you look at it whats real and whats not?

Answer 3

The various forms of media -- primarily television, newspapers and radio -- spread and disseminate information. Getting your information into the media will spread your group's story further than it could be spread without media coverage.

A big benefit when it comes to news media coverage is that it is free -- a factor of major importance when it comes to community groups or organisations with tight budgets!

Without putting in this type of work, your group will not reap the benefits of "free" media coverage.

It also builds brand definition for you -- setting your group apart from other groups operating in the same space.

Having a media profile not only gets you noticed by the general public, but also among decision makers, VIPs and government.

For your community group or organisation, this presents great opportunities to get more people thinking positively about you after hearing positive news coverage of your group and what it is doing.

Because of this, your group should actively seek out positive publicity through positive media coverage.

But your group should also remember that any positive opinions generated from positive media coverage can be blunted or reversed by negative opinions generated through negative media

Answer 4

In general, "media" refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or news reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective noun, but refers to different types of data storage options.

Respected teacher and friends, the topic I've chosen to speak about is Media in Education.

Now, is media education useful or in other ways important?

Media education can help young people put current images and messages about Aboriginal people into perspective by helping them understand how the media work, why stereotyping exists, how decisions are made, and why "it matters who makes it." Media education is not about learning the right answers; it's about consuming media images with an active, critical mind and asking the right questions. Media is the most powerful tool of communication. It helps promoting the right things on right time. It gives a real exposure to the mass audience about what is right or wrong. Even though media is linked with spreading fake news like a fire, but on the safe side, it helps a lot to inform us about the realities as well.

All in all media help us to keep a good check on the things that are going around.

I hope this helped.
