The media is an important means of communinications nowadays. My media many definitions mean Film industry, Broadcasting industry, TV, radio, newspapers and other magazines. One of the important aspect of the media is to always say the truth and to say it when you now it just as the doctor has to cure any sick person.
So, what is happening with the media. The media is a field of industry where there is jalousie. You have to be careful not to encounter problems or pressures from people who do not want to reveal to you the truth or who are trying to tell you lies.

Media people encounter many problems and this can affect there parents. A media person can expect ot be come an important person especially when he or she has some very sensitive advocacy work to write or report on. A media person works like a journalist. This means that you have to be fit,dress properly and have a nice voice for example. This sometimes upsets some authorities. Not all the truth is good to be heard according to some people. You have to stand for your ideas especially if you have deciced to make journalism your field of work. Media people can be compared to sports men or sports women. The problem is that many people fear the freedom of media people. There are some important moment of media. For instance the film festivals. The is the film festival of Cannes which happens in May. Cannes is in the South of France, very sunny area with many interesting beaches and hotels. Hollywood is the other place where the media is at its topest level. It is interesting to see how the actors and actresses wear their clothes. Not only the quality of the clothing is good to look at but also how they have tanned skins and good hair. This is an example to help other follow to feel good in the mind and body.
There is another way the media works which is to show documentaries. Now there are many channels like the History channel or the women channel. So, each person is able to see which one is good for their interest. These channels remind of the work of explorers who went to look for gold or cocoa for instance.
There has also been scandals in the media. For instance the fact that their were hostages taken in Lebanon and day after day the media had to report on them for some of them were journalists. There is also the story of Patrica Heart one of the daughter of rich man who owned a news group. So, again people who work for the media can also encounter problems.
It has been heard also that the people of the media are often persecuted, for instance sometimes they find that some read their writing.
In this sense it is good to look at the film based on the book of Umberto Eco which is entitled "The Name of The Rose" where there are munks who start laughing after they have read a paragraph in a book.
In fact media people are also good readers and for that they should get maximing protection for their eyes. One of the French writers unfortunately lost his sight, and so far it is hard to know why.
Welcome to the "world of writers".
