Media is such a powerful weapon which can change the perception of viewers overnight. It has been one of the most scrutinous as well as controversial fields in the world, and now especially with so many media outlets and channels. With the same report being covered by 10 channels at the same time, you can expect at least 5 different versions of the story and might find it difficult to trust or disbelieve one or the other. However, as difficult it is for the viewers to speculate the matter, it is equally tiresome and hectic for media reporters to run after the stories every now and then.

Amara Sohn- Walker was born in Los Angeles, California on the 30th of November, 1981.
