Modern media covers the news, or at least the news they decide to cover. They also create the news by selectively covering what they decide to, covering the news in a way that might not be totally factual and not covering news that they decide not to cover, even though it might be something important.
Take as an example presidential primary campaigns in which several candidates are running. The media covers the news by covering the candidates. If they favor one or two of the candidates, they can cover their campaigns in a more positive light than others, give those candidates more coverage, give candidates they do not wish to win less coverage or put a negative spin on the coverage of those candidates, etc. By doing any of that, they are not only covering the news, but are creating news in that they are covering it in such a way as to bring about a desired outcome.

Modern media serves both functions of covering news and creating it. While journalists report on events that have occurred, media outlets also have an influence on which stories are highlighted and how they are framed, which can shape public perception and influence the news agenda.
