Tile media can impact current events.
As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I re member experiencing the
events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these
events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it

obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on
news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the
distinctions between these realities. Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.

At one time payments to and from other countries were made by bills of exchange; hence in part the term "exchange rate", which was maintained even though other methods of payment have largely superseded the bill of exchange. The British importer will probably need to pay his American supplier in dollars and his British bank can offer him several alternative methods of settlement.

The bank is able to do this because it will have an account with another bank (called a correspondent bank) [单项选择]Why are payments NOT usually netted out in a currency swap( )
