Abstract

In Media trends have steadily increased in the past few decades, given the current social context. This indicates how much the media has naturally affected the scope of knowledge by presenting a rich array of digital and print media. It has been difficult for people to reveal the true truth in the current context due to the effects of post-truth ideology. It is very difficult to say that any one subject will be properly presented to all equally in a volatile world where globalization has ushered in the unraveling of the true meaning of knowledge. Today's society depends heavily on the media to portray historical events and to portray the nature of political representation. Digital and print media are being used in this case to present an image that people believe to be true. Modern society has thus become a booming market for post-truth ideologies. A true essence has a form that changes with time and place, so there is no such thing as a real truth from a sociological perspective.
