I am a student of Spanish and French (well, a teacher of Spanish and French, but I am always learning).
Watching TV and reading magazines helps me to learn new vocabulary and to nail down some of my pronunciation. Sometimes it really helps me with sentence structure and grammar as well.
So, to answer your question, the media can help you to learn a language by providing you with examples of everyday speech. It is a little bit of immersion that can happen right in your own house.

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of online courses which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

I'm not sure what kind of help you are referring to. If they are just learning the language, then the media provides both printed and spoken word along with images to help in mastering the language. If however, they are native speakers, then the spoken format will help to standardize pronunciation while the written format standardizes spelling.
