Topics which affect the media produced

The media today is affected by many external factors which the public can relate to and come across everyday; therefore the public would become a target audience for that form of media. Many of these factors are usually kept within national boundaries unless the target audience of the media piece is international. We decided to research trends that affected the public so our media product could relate to a lot more people ultimately targeting a wider audience.  
Current trends which affect the media we see today are:

Natural disasters ( Floods , droughts)
Mass killings (Raul Moat) (Michael Ryan)
Youth Culture ( Drink , Drugs, Violence)
Warfare ( the war in Afghanistan )
  
With warfare being on the news on almost every channel its hard not to come across, which would make it a topic that everyone has some knowledge about. We decided to use this subject for our media project as its a wide area to cover giving us room to experiment with a variety of ideas.
With different events occurring, effecting the public we can expect to see these changes reflected in the media we see today.
