Abstract
The world of media is ever-changing and continues to hold a significant role in today’s society. With significance, comes considerable impact and ultimately, mixed displays of trust. For decades, the media has been a facilitator and source of sharing information among the public. It has evolved into various forms from print media to television, movies, radio, and Internet. With an extensive presence, the media plays a predominant part in the creation and shaping of public opinions/views as well as providing a fundamental link between the government and the people. The responsibility to disseminate information whether good, bad, truthful, or dishonest carries much affect and in return, allows the recipient to hold certain entities accountable.
