Question

Which statement is true? Media messages are usually too complicated for most people to understand. Media messages frequently present multiple messages at a time. Media messages are usually creative without any logic behind them. Media messages are only powerful if viewed through television.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: "Media messages frequently present multiple messages at a time".

Media messages refer to direct or indirect messages that are portrayed in media, such as advertisements, television shows, etc. Most types of media present multiple messages simultaneously. For instance, if a TV series is centered around a high school student, it will indirectly and directly present multiple messages at a time. To elaborate, it might present how the student believes that good grades are important, by showing how the student cheats on a test. This presents multiple messages at the same time by showing that the student believes in getting good grades, while the student is also dishonest, and is willing to be immoral to achieve his or her goals.
