The modern media has many advantages and disadvantages, which this essay will cover some of them such as making the world like a small village, spreading knowledge, disseminating inappropriate materials, and giving some deceiving information.
The first main advantage of the contemporary media is making the world like a village. Today, the international media through its different forms has become the major tool in delivering lots of information and recent news about all the countries around the globe at the same moment. This allows anyone to know about any event in any spot in the world. For instance, if a hurricane stroke the U.S., anyone in the Middle East or any place farther would know about it through the T.V. or the web.
Another positive side is the spreading of knowledge and entertainment.
