Media means different things to different people. One thing that everyone I interviewed seemed to agree on was that media had to do with information. Their answers varried the most when I asked them how it impacted their lives. There was a generation gap there because my parents said that it kept them informed and it exposed them to different views, while my sisters said that it entertained them. Another big difference in answers was when I asked if the media needs improvement. Again, there was a generation gap here because my parents both thought that it would be good if there was less biased views in the media and my sisters both thought that it needs improvement just because there is always room for improvement. I think that the main difference in how the media is viewed is based on age. I think that older people tend to have a more critical view of the media while younger people think more positively about the media.
