Books:
Authors intelligently depict daily problems, mapping out solutions through the character(s) actions. Sometimes, the ending can be agreeable while at other times, it will not be. This idea illustrates life's unpredictability and highlights the consequences of any such action. An author does this by focusing on a character's two-sided nature that conflicts with itself, which later creates the centralized problem.
In terms of reliability, books portray the most truthful facts. They are sent through many processes that have been purposefully created to "fact-check". Although most arguments in a book can be passive, they do not necessarily force themselves on its audience as would television and movies.
Newspapers, Magazines, and the Internet:
Depending on what publication you read, most writers can be biased on the subject of which they are writing on and it is important to know whether that is the case. Unfortunately, that is how stories are made. If it is, the reader is only introduced to one argument instead of the issue as a whole. It is up to us, the readers, to figure it out.
Movies, Television, and the Radio:
These three forms of media directly influence the public. It is here that social norms begin and end. For example, slur words and sex are continuously promoted in music. This whole idea of being thin and promiscuous has young women undermining their own images/identities to fit such ridiculous social norms.
