The War Of The Worlds By H. G. Wells

Media consists of television, radio, newspaper, and the internet. These four provide entertainment, education and information. There are some cases in which media doesn’t fully cover a subject, leaving a part of it in the dark, other times the subject being presented to the public is often stretched of the truth which can cause confusion and hysteria.
