Media: The Unexamined Gatekeeper

The media plays a crucial role in disseminating information to the public. However, the power dynamics within the media industry can often lead to biases, inaccuracies, and sensationalism.

How often do we question the official data released by our governments? Do we take the time to analyze the methodologies used in collecting and presenting these statistics? Or do we simply accept them as the truth without further investigation?
