The form of media that influences me the most is the newspaper. In this comtemporary time, many would treat the newspaper as an obsolete form of mass media, but I believe that newspaper is one of the few mass media that is trustable and accurate. I read the newspaper almost daily and it often molds the way I see the world and think.
The reason I am affected by newspaper more than any other form of media is because I get in contact with newspaper daily, newspapers are permanent, and it's accurate in its articles. In terms of range of effect, internet would hold the power, but as we often realize, many internet sites are not trustworthy and often proves to be fallible. Newspaper, on the other side, is often verified for its accuracy, which is why I find myself leaning toward newspaper for information. For example, when I have to find information about political issues or international issues, the first source that I use is my prior knowledge that was obtained from the articles in newspapers.
