60 Minutes TV Series - Essay Example

I remember a friend saying that the media has the obligation to provide everything that the mass needs to know. Good thing that this show aired when I was about to question how will the media do it.  The first time I saw 60 minutes on TV, I thought, “What does this show have to offer? What good can it give me? Is it worth watching?” Then a friend of mine, who happened to love this show, told me that this is not any ordinary show. She loved it for the reason that it allows the viewers to see the ‘real thing’ in celebrities, in ordinary people, in the government and all the other issues that are likewise hidden from the people.

I watched the segment wherein President Obama and his wife were interviewed and were satisfied that this show has done something like this for the nation, including me, to know someone so great like Obama. I heard in the news that this segment was the most-watched episode of 60 minutes, and it has done a great effect to the show. I think that this show has somewhat improvised a new genre in the field of journalism and mass media, which is great for me since I’m quite interested in journalism.

The effect this show has on me is a good and helpful one that is why I consider it as my all-time favorite among all TV series. The fact that I can answer well when others ask me about certain issues in our country makes me feel knowledgeable. They thought of me as a keen observer, thanks to 60 minutes. It is with this show’s help that I can be aware and maybe even helpful to our country when the time comes. I am even inspired to write for the show, maybe someday.
