Hi!
I completly agree with you that there has to be a balance in how we view and percieve the world, otherwise it would really be kind of dull and static as you say! And yes, media is truly powerful. Often more so than governments, at least more influential. You have probably seen the clip but I must mention it anyhow. When Hans Rosling visits a Danish news studio and lectures him in how the world works. There he explicitly says that you cannot use media to learn about the world. Not to be blind and trust all that is said by the journalists and news anchors.
Regarding your last sentence, do you mean that a reproduction can serve the same purpose as an original? Would you say that reproductions indifferent substitues that fulfill the same need and feel despite loosing their "aura" as claimed in the texts? Might the aura only be lost to those who are truly educated and versed in art?
