Does the media reflect society, or does society reflect the media?

Question

pleas help me to make a paragraph

Answer 1

Nobody writes in a vacuum, so writers cannot help but be informed by the culture into which they have been immersed. In the mass media, you'll find plenty of references to pop culture as sort of  verbal shorthand.

At the same time, real-life events have heled shape many a movie and television episode.

Answer 2

a mirror reflects both, bet you didn't know that did you.

Answer 3

YOU MUST BE TAKING A SOCIOLOGY COURSE. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION AND WOULD BE A GREAT QUESTION TO DEBATE. IT'S ALSO A HARD ONE TO ANSWER AND IT WOULD TAKE ME MUCH MORE SPACE THAN Y!  WILL ALLOW TO TRY TO ANSWER IT. BOTH QUESTIONS HAVE MERIT.

Answer 4

I think the media reflects society because without society what would the media have to portray? Nothing.
