State of the News Media

Since 2004, the Pew Research Center has published annual reports on key audiences and economic indicators in all areas of the US news media industry. These data show how Americans are seeking news and information, how news organizations earn income, and US journalists try to introduce important events of the day to the public It shows resources available when. Media is sometimes called the fourth branch of the government, but in the United States it is also a very important business - the ability to serve the public depends on the ability to attract attention and the dollar.

Over the years, the Center's approach to the handling of these indicators has evolved with the industry, carefully considering the indicators, areas and formats in which the data emerged. Our approach is to launch a series of fact sheets at a time rather than a single summary report that displays the most important current and historical data points of each department in a straightforward format.

Before studying the current state of social media, it is important to clarify which news coverage is good. In her book 'Political Media Power', Doris A. Graber claims that it is important to distinguish the news from the truth. "The function of the news is to inform the event, the truth's role is to describe the hidden facts, to bind them together and to describe the reality that people can take action" (Graber, 41) . To be informed of the truth whether it is a radio, a newspaper article, or a post on a website, news distribution should fulfill both functions. Good news has a positive impact on society. Indeed, thorough and important news reports will improve the community, eliminate inappropriate government officials, save lives, and many others. Reporting the event and revealing the truth is extremely important for the performance of the press' s function.

For the most part of the 20th century, news media and television news was an important feature in shaping American collective memories. Indeed, since the American colonial era, the press has influenced discourse on collective memory, national development and trauma. In many ways, mainstream journalists maintain the voice of authority as past storytellers in the United States. Their documentary style stories, detailed exposure, and their current position make them the main source of public memories. Specifically, news journalists have formed collective memory in almost all major domestic events, from the death of social and political persons to the development of political ambition.

Today, in the United States, the relationship between new media technology and gradual privatization of public goods accelerates the sensation of the crisis. This new media has contributed to the current state of political terrorism that was prospering even at a moment of crisis, but at the moment every event has matured into politicalization, democracy, participation, and the true of discourse Space has been eliminated. This was exacerbated as the president of our television is the star of television and ready to pay attention. The development of new media technologies and the gradual privatization of traditional public goods - education, medical care, military, etc. - open space for Donald Trump and other people to leave the private economy into the public domain It was. Politics and government bring market leadership of the crisis. This form of expansionism brought about a major loss to democracy.
