vova2212 [387]

In the article "How the Media Twists the News," Sheila Gribben Liaugminas explains that "intelligent news consumers" are those who pay attention to the ways in which media presents the news.

She is effective when it comes to explaining that this is a vital task for all citizens. Moreover, she is explicit in how not doing so can affect our society and increase ignorance among the public.
