Mythology Shapes Perception

Mythology influences how news is presented and perceived, from seemingly innocent messages that enhance credibility to value judgments impacting whose opinions are deemed important. The visual and auditory elements of news broadcasts—the camera angles, the urgency of music, the attire, and the composure of presenters—convey deeper meanings beyond the surface. Each component serves as a sign that shapes audience perceptions and narrows worldviews. Acknowledging these layers is crucial to understanding the implicit narratives being communicated, suggesting that viewers must look beyond the obvious to grasp the full context of the news.
