Good morning/afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Every day, the media is influencing our lives. Did you read the paper this morning while you are breakfast? Maybe you listened to the radio in the car? Or maybe you saw the news last night? The media is everywhere. TV, magazines, newspapers, radio, the internet. The media can be really very helpful to society. It lets us know what is going on in the world. Needless to say, anything that big with that much power is sure to have its cons as well as its pros. The media controls how and what we think. It does this in many ways.
(now explain the different ways you believe it does this) (at least 3)
Make sure you ask lots of rhetorical questions, eg did you read the paper today. Describe clearly why you believe the media is controlling the way people think, and how its doing that. Don't talk too fast, and be confident.
