We had a take home test a few days ago, and one of the questions was to explain why television was not a "window to the world." Television is deffinaley not a window to the world because you get to pick and choose what you want to watch as a viewer. Having choices also brings different networks, different networks target certain audiences - everyone has a niche audience. Also television networks basied on their information of the viewer target certain stories. So for example, if i like to hear about all of the current political or social issues I mi ght tune into world news tonight on abc compared to Inside addition, a television showed based on celeberity drama and gossip. In all reality there no one network or show that will show you a "true" repersentaion of the world beacuse everyone has a different perserpetive but we all have might have the same different one.
