The Trouble With Media And Entertainment

According to the author Neil Postman, who was a media critic in the 80s, the quality of information is diminished by the media, and our desire to be entertained is amplified.

• The media influences us more than stuff like values, morals, family or loyalty. It is always focused on celebrating the celebrities, the rich and the famous.
• The media emphasises the fake image we present to the world, and social media has accelerated the phenomenon.
