I never drank coffee in the first light but I never felt this neurotic my entire life. I surfed online and all I could see are articles talking about Liam’s preliminaries. The news's are polarized.

"This is a very novel term, as a lot of people are not quite acquitted with Media Psychology, but as Psychology students, you should have an idea, I hope. Someone, anyone, tell me what Media Psychology is." No one says anything till someone speaks, a new student, imagine that. "Media Psychology is about power." She says, and I frown. "Power?"

The entire concept of Media Psychology posits that there's a correlation between Mass Media and Psychology, that the mass audience are influenced psychologically in every aspect of their life.

Mr. Michael's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk as he thought aloud. "And our allies in the media... We can control the narrative there as well. It's all about perception."

As I continued reading, something slowly began clicking together inside my head. Power wasn’t just money. That was the mistake people like Derrick made. They thought power came from looking rich, talking loudly, intimidating others. But real power? Real power was information. Contracts. Ownership. Perception. The ability to move things quietly while everyone else stayed distracted. And Derrick lacked patience. He lacked depth. He only knew how to dominate openly. That was his weakness. And for the first time in a very long time— I finally understood I didn’t actually have to overpower him.

"We fight fire with fire. Viola has been using the media to stir up fear and push her agenda forward. Using public outrage and deception to twist the arm of every government into going along with it.

Does it make them strong?” “It makes them… connected.” I said, choosing my words carefully. “It also makes them distracted. It brings great convenience, but also great conflict. Knowledge is more accessible than ever, but so is misinformation. We have more ways to heal, but also more ways to kill.” “A
