English and the Media

The Relationship
The Media has much to do with English because English is the communication in which the media is spread. In order for apps, entertainment, and the industry to make the money they want they need to know how flexible they want their career to be. Flexible? The Media uses English to get the English speaking people’s attention to their content. Many times when the media tries to get English speakers’ attention it fails so in order to continue to receive a great amount of money they will spread their content to Spanish, Chinese, and even many others. English is known to spread by having a very strong political, economic, and military dominant power. English is mainly in the United States, about 70% speak English as their mother-tongue. The United States receive about $100 million dollars a year. The Media industry made about $564 billion dollars from 2012- 2014. As shown, the United States and the Media make about the same total of money in a year. It shows how much these two are related because both are very significant. Especially with the new forms of technology being created year by year we can already see how English has changed and how the media interprets English now. We see many new aspects of English being formed because the media has created it.
“An alphabet soup of acronyms, abbreviations, and neologisms has grown up around technologically mediated communication to help us be understood” (Oxford Dictionaries).
Not only does the media make us write in 140 characters to avoid long paragraphs of run on sentences, overuse in commas, and horrid grammar, it makes us think before we say. Old English is very proper and overused. Many people who started speaking it in the birth of English used it improperly. Now that we have a restriction to our words we have a new way of thinking and speaking. Which brings new generations, words, and sadly less thought of the usage of English.How is English being used in the Media

Why Did I Write My Task Like So?
The reason this task was written in a very formal and informative format was because the writer is a very formal and formative writer. A comical form of writing was thrown into the mix of formality because interest was wanted from all types of readers. Not only a want from all, but a giggle from all to bring joy. The English and the Media title can bring both aspects of the young and older readers because both will relate to either. Relationship between all is a great way to catch the reader's’ attention and inform in a very serious formal format. Especially writing on some things that are used everyday need to be very upfront in the title in order to snatch the reader’s attention. That is the reason this news article was written in a very formal and informative manner.
