Media representations significantly affect political perceptions by framing issues and shaping public opinion. Various forms of media, including news outlets, social platforms, and entertainment, play a crucial role in informing citizens about political events, candidates, and policies. Biased or selective coverage can create distorted views, fostering polarization and influencing electoral behavior. Furthermore, sensationalist narratives or misinformation can undermine public trust in institutions and contribute to apathy or extremism among the electorate. Thus, responsible media practices are essential for promoting informed political engagement.
