The media plays a crucial role during major world events by providing information, shaping public opinion, and influencing decisions. During global crises, such as natural disasters, wars, or pandemics, people rely heavily on the media for timely and accurate information. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that media coverage was essential in spreading awareness about health guidelines and vaccine updates. News outlets, both traditional and digital, reached billions of people worldwide, helping to save lives. Media also plays a key role in shaping public opinion. For instance, during the Arab Spring in 2011, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook became vital tools for organizing protests and sharing real-time updates. They played a significant role in the spread of information across the Middle East, leading to increased participation in protests, according to a study by the University of Washington. Additionally, the media can influence decisions made by governments and organizations. For example, during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, extensive media coverage highlighted the scale of the disaster, prompting international aid. According to the United Nations, the coverage led to an outpouring of global support, with over $14 billion in aid provided to affected countries.

Social media has profoundly impacted society, influencing communication, business, and personal lives. One of the most significant changes is how it has transformed communication. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow people to connect instantly across the globe. According to a 2023 report by Statista, over 4.9 billion people use social media, highlighting its vast reach. This connectivity has made it easier for people to stay in touch with friends and family, regardless of distance. Moreover, social media has revolutionized business and marketing. Companies use platforms like Instagram and TikTok to reach younger audiences, with 73% of marketers believing that social media marketing is somewhat or very effective, according to the HubSpot State of Marketing Report 2023. Small businesses, in particular, benefit from the low-cost advertising options provided by social media, enabling them to compete with larger companies. However, the impact of social media is not entirely positive. The rise of cyberbullying and online harassment is a growing concern. A Pew Research Center study in 2022 found that 41% of U.S. adults have experienced some form of online harassment. Additionally, the spread of misinformation on social media platforms has become a significant issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) referred to the situation as an "infodemic," with false information spreading rapidly online, causing confusion and fear.
