Social media have become a big part of our lives, with billions of people using online platforms every day
for various reasons. But what are the bright side and the dark side of social media?
One of the good things about social media is its ability to bridge geographical and national gaps, which
allows the connection among individuals no matter where they are in the world. Social media platforms enable
people to talk and share things with family, friends and coworkers from far away. Also, it’s a quick way to get
the latest news and updates from popular online newspapers. Social media can also be used to make people
aware of helpful worldwide campaigns, such as 'Going Green’ and 'Earth Hour’.
However, there are some notable downsides to social media. The first problem is the risk of addiction. The
users who are addicted to social media spend too much time scrolling through posts and checking notifications,
which is harmful to them mentally and physically, especially for young people. Another issue is that fake news
spreads easily on social media. While it’s good to share real valuable information, it’s also easy to spread false
information, causing confusion in our society.
In conclusion, social media have both good and bad sides. Therefore, it is crucial that we are aware of social
media addiction and false information spreading, so we can avoid their negative effects and become responsible
users.

The printed newspaper in the 17th century marked a turning point in the dissemination of news and the
formation of public opinion. Then, the 19th century witnessed the creation of photography, which profoundly
modified how we consume information. The two great inventions laid the foundation for today's media
landscape.
Photographs had a huge impact on newspapers. The articles accompanied by visual representations of
events added a level of realism that words alone couldn't achieve. Illustrated by photos, books featuring difficult
topics helped people learn more effectively, and newspaper articles became more understandable to different
kinds of readers. Important images captured social movements, wars and historical moments, influencing the
public perception and, at times, even the course of history. Moreover, photos significantly increased the
emotional impact of news coverage on readers and helped create powerful reactions from them.
Newspapers and photojournalism have a lasting impact globally, even beyond traditional print. Their
principles are still important in today's media. Thanks to the fast development of the Internet, images and videos
have become powerful tools to grab attention and tell stories around the world in digital and social media. In
other words, words together with photos have been utilised to help people not only understand different
messages but also encourage them to take action on certain topics.
The seeds of today's media were sown centuries ago when newspapers started as the first means of mass
communication to the public, and photography added persuasive visual elements. By understanding the past
creations, we can have valuable insights into how the modern media landscape functions.
