I believe that media plays a very important role in how we view hackers. This is because most of the time hackers are depicted as these twisted individuals that have to empathy or care about the effects their actions have on others. It’s mainly present in shows that handle crime like NCIS. While some shows do show that there can be hackers that work on the good side of the law, those aren’t displayed very often. The media spreads the negative side of hackers more than the positive side. This is because negativity spreads way faster than positivity on the internet. The media uses movies and T.V. shows to demonstrate how important cybersecurity is.
