The media does give us suitable T.V. coverage of global poverty. We usually see disadvantaged people and communities on the news and television shows. People do have a good understanding of it. However, its not good enough. When I asked a person in my class they said poverty means poor people. We'll yes it does, but thats not all. Poverty is all about communities that don't have the essentials for a good life. Things like clean water,health care, and education are just some of the needs of these people. Imagine how you would feel if you didn't have these essentials. It would cause a lot of stress and pain. Thats why its up to the media to make sure these people's messages are heard and taken into consideration. Therefore the media has to do their best to spread this news around and get people thinking. So I don't think the media does a good enough job at showing people these disadvantages. I really think they could do better.
