A popular television show reveals more about a nation than the editorial page of a newspaper does?
A popular television show reveals more about a nation than the editorial page of a newspaper does.
Can someone provide an example to support the above statement?
Also describe a specific situation in which a popular television show might not reveal more about a nation than the editorial page of a newspaper would. Discuss what you think determines whether or not a popular television show reveals more about a nation than the editorial page of a newspaper does.
The Oprah Show brings light to many events, problems, successes that have occured within America. It is perhaps more valuable than an editorial page of a newspaper because you can see the reaction of the audience to whatever it is she is talking about, not to mention the reaction of those she interviews.
But there are certain things that talk shows dont cover simply because they are too boring like say the debate over net neutrality. Well atleast I havent seen any talk show discuss it.
