It is impossible to overestimate the influence of the media on public opinion and policy choices, especially when it comes to politics and health policy. The quick distribution of information via media platforms can greatly impact public health outcomes and the procedures involved in formulating public policy. This conversation will explore how the media influences politics and health policy, focusing on three main topics: accountability, advocacy, and awareness.
First off, the media is a vital tool for spreading awareness of health-related concerns. The media has the power to raise awareness of public health emergencies, new illnesses, and preventive measures via news stories, documentaries, and social media campaigns. For instance, media attention significantly aided public education about safety measures and vaccination campaigns during the COVID-19 pandemic (Merchant & Lurie, 2020). The media impacted the distribution of resources for the pandemic response and prompted government action by emphasizing the virus's severity and spread.
Second, the media is an effective medium for advocacy. Non-governmental organizations and health advocacy groups often use media outlets to influence public opinion and legislative agendas. For instance, media coverage has greatly aided campaigns against smoking and for mental health awareness, which has influenced public opinion and put pressure on lawmakers to pass supportive legislation (Smith, 2019). Public health objectives might take precedence in policy talks due to the media's ability to shape narratives and frame problems.
Thirdly, the media holds elected officials and medical professionals responsible. Investigative journalism has the power to reveal mistakes made in public health safety protocols, malpractices in healthcare settings, and shortcomings in the government's handling of health emergencies. For instance, media reports on the opioid epidemic exposed how drug corporations encouraged the use of opioids, which resulted in important legislative and regulatory measures meant to control the prescription of opioids (Hari, 2021). In addition to educating the public, these reports attract the attention of institutions and the government, resulting in improvements to public health and safety.
In summary, the media has a critical role in shaping politics and health policy. It encourages advocacy, enforces responsibility, and increases awareness. The deliberate use of media to provide accurate information and frame public conversation will remain critical as politicians continue to negotiate complicated health issues. For successful health policy-making, an educated and involved public is necessary, and the media plays a key role in promoting this public participation.

Communication is improving so fast at this time. All the resources like the internet, social media, and the development of artificial intelligence can overwhelm the way how people know the real world. The term social media mostly refers to internet-based tools that allow individuals and communities to gather and communicate, share information, ideas, personal messages, images, and other content, and in some cases, collaborate with other users in real-time. ( Peck 2014). Social media with platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others can deliver too much information that can be true or not true. People are powerfully influenced by the opinions in social media. In the same way, health care can be influenced by the power of social media. Also, social media can be used to monitor policies implemented and how these affect or change behaviors in society. On the other hand, social media can influence the breaking of some policies like drug policies and promoting the use of illicit substances. We saw how social media can modify policies in health when COVID-19 appears, or with cancer. The information in social media can be modified or altered by people and they can manipulate the public opinion about health issues. With all this power social media is the target of researchers, policymakers, and health care providers. They understood that social media is a powerful tool to engage or influence people and at the same time evaluate the phenomena of health in the population to be easy to know what are the necessities of people. it allows us to enlarge our scope of vision. How we can analyze social media must be used carefully and focused on improving health care in the world.
