Everywhere, every day, exciting things are happening. Each day is filled with news. People learn
news and views during reading newspapers and magazines, talking over the telephone or they are
kept informed by watching TV or listening to the radio. The press, the radio and television play a big
role in the life of the society. They inform, educate and entertain people. They also influence the
way people look at the world and make them change their views.

If earlier people mainly learned news from newspapers or on the radio, now people hardly read
newspapers. Then came television, which replaced newspapers, but in today's world, young people
prefer to get their news from the Internet or social networks. I often use Telegram to get the latest
news. I am sure that the way to receive news on television will become obsolete in the same way
that newspapers were obsolete in their time. Firstly, due to the fact that more and more people are
starting to use the TV as a big screen with which they go online to watch their favorite series or
movies using streaming platforms such as Netflix. I recently watched an breathtaking series that
should be a success. I even decided to find out more information about this series in order to fully
get hooked, and on the Internet I came across a book written by the authors of the series.
In this book was written that it took only 2 months to create a plot full of twists and turns. The
action of the series takes place in medieval England and tells a story full of heroism; often while
watching, I thought if I were in the place of the main character, I would have acted differently, but
that was what kept me on edge of one’s seat. I am sure that every person who has watched this
series will say that the authors have created an amusing story. At the end of the book, it was written
that the second season of this series is already being prepared, and the authors promised to keep
viewers up-to-date and better informed about the release date.

We must not forget that people who have played well in the series will eventually become
household names, which means that when they appear in public, their every move will be watched.
This is where Media Hermits come from - these are famous people who do not want to attract too
much attention to themselves and therefore avoid publicity. Also, famous people can do something
that society might not like. For example, advertising a product of dubious quality can establish a bad
reputation. Summing up, we can say that a famous person must weigh all his actions and keep in
mind that when money on the one hand, reputation on the other. But we must not forget that
celebrities are people just like us, and therefore they also have the right to privacy. If you push too
hard on a person, he may have a breakdown. Close people of one famous person said: “after a
nervous breakdown, he had little contact with the outside world and even sold the rights to his
film”.

But despite the fact that we must remember the personal lives of the stars, we still want to know
more about them, and the Foreign Correspondent helps us with this. They accurately convey the
story from the first mouth. To become such a correspondent, one must not only study journalism at
the university, but also be fluent in several languages. Such people should be literate in everything,
but show initiative is also a very important quality. Despite the fact that this is not an easy
profession, it is also very exciting, because you can communicate with many amazing people, travel
far and wide, but, like any journalist, such people must have high moral standards.

It is important to remember that the emotional state depends on what news and films we watch.
Therefore, for productive work, you need to watch a good movie and try to get rid of toxity on the
Internet and don't back yourself into a corner.

In conclusion, I want to say that art and media are very important. I am sure that in the future the
development of technology will lead to even more development of the media.
