Question

Immigration effected our media because they began to bring more knowledge and history of the groups who were immigrating to the public. T or F

Answer 1

The correct answer is - False.

The immigration indeed influenced the media and its reporting, but it was not in a way that the media was bringing in more knowledge and history of the groups who were/are immigrating to the public.

The media mostly changed in a manner that it was bringing up more facts, or more false information, about the political and economic situation about the countries of origin of the immigrants. Also, it prompted heated debates among the politicians that are pro-immigration and against immigration, thus bringing in to the public only extreme points of views, instead of focusing on information about the culture, background, history of the immigrants.

Answer 2

The correct answer is true.

It is true that immigration affected our media because they began to bring more knowledge and history of groups who were immigrating to the public.

Emigration affected media in the United States. As many different groups, nationalities, races, traditions, and cultures arrived in America, they borough all of those elements into society and one way or the other they intermingle with American traditions. So the media has to change and adapt to the new social circumstances and wanted to satisfy the information and entertainment necessities of these new group of immigrants that also were new consumers to the American products.
