The Medium is the Massage

Media defines the popular opinion. It is a platform to open discussion of any topic that is deemed worthy of discussion. When we speak about media in the news, my first question is why do I need to know this. Lately, stories are often put in place to distract consumers from learning about information that challenges the social constrictions currently being faced. Media in song often challenges this lack of information by unapologetically addressing current issues being overlooked by news outlet media. Digital media is allowing for anyone to join into a conversation and discuss, and allows those being overlooked by massmedia to have a platform where they can openly address any topic they feel passionate about.
