Impact of Media on Public Policy Debate

            The media outlet – New York Times – constantly promulgate the debate on minimum wage policy. The media outlet, for instance, constantly runs articles and opinions about the issue of the minimum wage. The majority of these article reviews and opinions advances the need to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour. For instance, a lot of emphases has been placed on the need to support and pass bills touching the $15 minimum wage as it not only improves lives but also saves them, especially during these hard economic times (Desmond, 2019). A media outlet has even used some terms that have drawn attention to the issue by terming it a ‘living wage.’ The last two years have seen the New York Times run personal stories and community outcries about the impact the minimum wage would have on their lives if it is increased to $15 per hour (Hassan, 2020).
