What is consider the two-way relationship with society?Show answer
Media both reflects and influences society. A text reflects its society by showing the fashions, technology, language and concerns of its time, which is why old media can feel dated. Media can also influence society: repeated representations can shape how audiences view a group, advertising can shape what people want, and news framing can shape what audiences think is important. A strong society answer shows awareness of both directions and avoids assuming media simply controls its audience, since audiences respond actively.
