 How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?

I feel that the media portrays social justice issues as problems that we need to solve and they portray these issues through things like Televisions, Magazines, Newspapers, Internet and things like Interviews which are the not so common ones. In general, I feel as though the media have a big say on social justice issues and like most people see it as a set back to the world. The church also has a major say on social justice issues and they see it as a very bad thing and people involved in social justice issues need to be helped to solve it. n

Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
I believe that it has been difficult to find articles on Social Justice issues because most of the ones about Social Justice issues are false or either not backed up by evidence which is what I need. It is also hard to find because I am afraid that other people might find the same one as me so I have to keep trying hard to find one that I am sure that no body would find or use.

Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
In my eyes, I say that the media does not operate from a moral framework because they more often than not say things which are in-moral about a story or topic and thus they would not operate in a moral framework.
