what examples of the influence of the media on current events. Are there, or should there be, limits on the power of the media? Should there be extra restrictions on the events and individuals that the media is allowed to report?

I believe that there should be limits to the use of social media, regarding using it for absurd pointless things as taking constant selfies of oneself, and who you message. I do think that taking pictures is okay, as long as it regards taking pictures of sceneries and of people we treasure, but taking endless pictures of oneself over and over again is pointless. We should also limit the use of social media because people become easily addicted, especially for people's in their teens, spending hours either talking to people they dont know or talking to people they do know, which either way, they are spending too much time doing; they aren't getting any exercise done and are increasing there chance of contracting a headache and becoming blind/having lower vision. I believe that social media should only be used for contacting people when we need to, not just to talk each other's ears of all day, and sharing important information to people that need to be aware of things. So in conclusion, yes, there should be restrictions on the events and individuals that the media is allowed to report because a majority of people will spend 50% of there time to useless things, when they aren't living there life to their fullest potential.
