Genre - The Media

The media alone as a genre can be defined as current events such as things going on in the world. What it shows are things little from the weather or different things going on in celebrities lives to more catastrophic or important events such as 9/11, war on Iraq, or the election of different government positions. I can use this for my research question because what the media shows such as different news stations or articles are usually the popular opinion on different political subjects. A lot of people don't usually look into or do more research on things such as Illegal Immigration or different government bills or laws trying to be passed so what the average American watch on the tube when they wake up or when they get back from work or read in the newspaper is usually the most information they know on something. Then those people who beleive exactly what the media says is when a conflict on opinion arises. So I could definately use media as a genre.
