This study delves into the intricate relationship between language and the media, specifically scrutinizing the representation of language in news and entertainment contexts. Through a comprehensive analysis, the research investigates the ways in which language is employed, manipulated, and portrayed by media outlets, exploring the impact of these representations on public perception, cultural dynamics, and linguistic norms. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on linguistics, media studies, and cultural analysis to unravel the intricate interplay between language and the media. By examining linguistic choices, narrative strategies, and discursive patterns in both news reporting and entertainment content, this research seeks to shed light on the broader implications for societal discourse, identity construction, and the shaping of public opinion.
