These news segments reinforce the perception of "normalcy" to their audiences, and here's why. The content we consume, especially from the news and social media, shapes our understanding of what is acceptable or typical. Even if we don't consciously agree, these platforms significantly influence our subconscious beliefs. This impact highlights the power of media in shaping societal norms and perceptions.
This concept directly connects the reading, particularly when considering the functions of mass communication. The dissemination of information, especially through surveillance and correlation, keeps viewers informed about current events while offering context and interpretation to simplify understanding. Additionally, the limited effects theory highlights how news outlets selectively filter content, sharing only what is deemed necessary or appropriate for the audience. This careful curation underscores the media's role in shaping public awareness and perception.

I watched WISN 9pm news broadcast, and I heard some similar stories to the ones you did. The one regarding the 12 year old from Arizona, and the one searching for the 36 year old. It is very true that even if we don't really agree with something, we still end up agreeing with it/thinking its the right choice or situation because it is what the news highlights and think is right
