Media has become a convenient staple and commodity for global lives that it inadvertently and significantly touches. But what is this incontrovertible influence? They are radio, newspapers, television broadcasts, such as CNN and MTV; Entertaining and informative, the media is a valuable resource for everyone. All this happened during the crucial 20th century, when the skies were full of air raids and on earth there were people full of fear, telling stories of eternal wars.
