The impact of media is another thing I learned. The War of the Worlds broadcast showed me that if you work hard enough you can make something seem like a legitimate piece of news. We are susceptible to believing most things we are told but in fact it could be false. The importance of the First Amendment was something I already knew about but this was more in-depth look at why it's so important for journalists and citizens alike.

Class Highlights
I think one of the things I learned the most is to be wary of the way media affects me. When I remember stuff like the media placing a certain expectation on women as to how they should look and advertisers surveying people to find the most effective way possible to draw customers in. Also how it can create negative perceptions of certain types of media, such as hip-hop or rock and roll in the 50s and 60s.

I love this clip. It's just another example of how I'll pay attention to what I'm being presented.

I just watched a news report pretty similar to this satire.
