Media Journal Day 5

Media coverage has grown into something way bigger and is something that people use as a tool in their lives to know whats going on. The media coverage of wars and areas such as the Middle East during times of turmoil is amazing. These news stations pay these people to go over there and risk their lives to cover these events. I think this concept is crazy and has always had my attention. Any time that something comes on with Live Coverage from a certain area, especially ones such as Libya etc. I cant help but keep it on to see what happens. The news stations have created such a sensation and such a feeling that your actually involved in these events its ridiculous. The coverage of up to minute stuff in Libya on networks such as CNN and Fox News is pretty intense and has obviously earned itself a spotlight in the American media watching. It started many years ago when they decided to televise the Vietnam War but I would go as far to say that nobody thought it would be like this now.
