Safe Space: Awareness, confrontation or therapy - how do the media use psychology to support us?

Psychological content is conveyed through various forms of media. The press, radio and cinema, to name a few, through their own modes of communication touch on issues that finally started to matter: relationships, emotions, quality of life. What makes us the recipients of such content? What media do we choose? How do articles, broadcasts and films work as guides, translators, maybe even therapists? What do we expect from them?
