does the mass media really express the real life in your country?

Answer

No, my life is nothing like you see in the American media.  For some people it may be,  but there are so many people and all of them have different lives.  If the life of the average American was shown on television, nobody would watch because it would be boring.

Answer

Hi, here in Australia and elsewhere, the media uses stories like you mentioned to sell newspapers, magazines and to get people to watch their shows. Sensationalism sells better than stories about good people. This does not express what life's really like, a lot of people think that Australia is like the tv series 'Neighbours' and 'Home and Away'
