The news media today is much different than it was prior to the 1990’s with the development of new technology like cable television, the internet and social media. In the past, most people received their news from one of the three major television networks – ABC, NBC or CBS – or their city’s newspaper.

You should then weigh the positive changes with the negative changes to determine whether overall the changes to the news media have been a good or bad thing.
