Every individual is exposed to media in any way - from textual, visual to exclusively audio media, their prevalence and quantity is greater today than ever before. As a result, people are exposed to the daily influence of the media on their thinking, behavior and sometimes even decision-making, without perhaps being aware of the extent. The media often conveys information, news and analysis that can shape people's attitudes and opinions on various topics. Depending on which media sources they consume, people can be exposed to different perspectives and interpretations of events. The media can influence our perception of reality by making certain events, situations or problems more important or less important than they really are. Also, the media can create a false impression of reality or show events from a certain angle to achieve a certain effect. The media play an important role in shaping the social climate and discussions on social issues. They help set the day's agenda and encourage public debate on important topics such as politics, the economy, the environment and social justice. Often, the content offered by the media is of poor quality, negative and does not comply with the ethical norms of journalism. It is important to note that people are not passive consumers of media content and that they can develop critical thinking and media literacy in order to better understand the influence of media and make informed decisions about what they consume. Also, media organizations and regulatory agencies have a role in promoting ethical journalism and responsible reporting in order to minimize the media's negative impact on society. This work aims to show the amount of sensationalist titles and content that are present in the media and society, and to raise awareness of their influence on current society and the shaping of future generations.
