Answer:

Media messages are perceived in the same way by everyone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Media messages can be viewed by people of varying demographics and cultures, and everyone who views media is different. This is why there are always different perceptions about what their true meaning is.

Let's say I write a post on social media saying, "I just got paid today!" and attach a picture of my money. One person might think, "Good on you! You're being successful in life, and I admire that." However, another person might think, "That's disrespectful, you're bragging about being paid when a lot of people our age can't work." Even if I have good intent, it's not easy to read between the lines of a media message and get the true intent.
