7 Ways How Media Can Influence Your Opinions

Sleeper effect

many times people actually rely on just one source and believe it very easily and many times the news is not completely true and if the following conditions are applied on a person than the person is going through sleeping effect: 1. If the person easily gets convinced and believes the information. 2. a small piece of information about the fake will make you doubt the original. 3. There is enough time between making the decision and getting the information.

Framing effect

Sometimes highlighting words are really important because certain words take away the attention and especially when it comes to old age because they pay attention more on negative things, for example some people pay more attention on 'overpayment' rather than on the word 'discount'.

Semmelweis reflex

People ony see what they want to see and they prefer ignoring the fact and even if they are near to the fact tehy often ignore and see what they want to see and they don't feel like learining or accepting about the new knowledge and facts.

Identifiable victim effect

Millions of people bid goodbye to world everyday but nobosy caes and suddenly one person who is famous or important leaves the worls , this is suddenly sad but before that nothing mattered.

Anchoring

While anchoring is done there is only a limited area which is covered and and a limited portion of knowledge or information is given and that's why they do not show each and every detal and exactly how and what happened always.

Third-person effect

Many times the truth is said in many versions and it no more remains the truth. As people hear somethingand and add their own story to it and tell it to another oerson with theirown addition. For example, id amother gets angry on his son then people will not understand many times that the son must ahve done something , instead they say the mother is not good.

It’s hard to tell reality from lies

Mnay of the news anchors start their news section by wishing tehir audience good evening but slowly during the show they tell you how the evening is not actually good and so to give yourself negativity ignore such news all teh time and spend sometime on yourself.
