Nowadays, the media has become stronger than ever as it is known for its undeniable power and

influence on our society. It is a medium for communication and disseminating various types of
information across the world. Particularly in light of the pandemic forthcoming elections, the media has
become one of the tools available to journalists and writers for delivering useful and crucial information.
But the media can also be perilous, to you, to users, and the country. As we all know, everything always
has pros and cons. In these times, we just don’t know that what we consider the truth about a certain thing
is not true at all because of the fake news we see and read in the media all over the place.

Article no. 2 gave the best discussion on responsible use of media and information because it
contains the context about how media affects the lives of its viewers, specifically children.
"Advertisements shown on television or even in the internet can affect the viewers. They might think the
information on that certain advertisement is correct without proper guidance from the parents. " This
shows that not all the things we see on television, or the internet is right and appropriate for its audience.
There are viewers who are still too young to grasp what is suitable content. Therefore, as their children
begin to understand how smartphones function, their parents' supervision is critical. Parents play a big
role in guaranteeing that their children are watching suitable content. Apart from that, it was also
discussed in the article how incorrect information is propagated. " In the internet, there is no censorship
when it comes to information resulting to some users to take this as an advantage to spread false
information all over the web. That is the reason that there are some users who have been victimized by
scammers, bullies, and etc." These people will occasionally use false information to harm someone's
reputation. That is why we should always check the authenticity of every piece of information or news we
read before believing that it is fact. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the primary factors, such as the
limitations and appropriate content for children when using media, that other articles did not.

The media has tremendous power. Because we wouldn't be able to contact our friends and family
as frequently without it. Nevertheless, because it is so strong that no one can dominate it, we must be
cautious and responsible when utilizing it and always fact-check to avoid fallaciousness. Importantly, the
only choice left to fight against it is to use it responsibly and attentively.
