Many people regard the media, whether it is the internet, television or another medium, as a 'window on the world'. But the reality is very different. This program examines the way the media manipulates its own version of the truth. A series of specially created examples demonstrate how through the selection of sound, language, locations, images and people, different meanings can be created. The program demonstrates the need to be critically alert when using the media. Arguing that there may be many versions of the truth, this program demonstrates that media consumers need to be wary of accepting any one of them.
