The Media Ecosystem

The media ecosystem is the interconnected network of channels, platforms, and organizations that create, distribute, and consume information and entertainment. It includes traditional outlets like TV, radio, and newspapers, as well as digital platforms such as social media, websites, and streaming services. These components influence public opinion, culture, and behaviors, constantly evolving with technological advances. The ecosystem is dynamic, with feedback loops where audiences shape content and algorithms, and content, in turn, impacts society. Understanding this ecosystem helps recognize how information spreads and how various media influence perceptions and discussions in everyday life.
