1.

mass media provide news or information, entertainment and education. these

are the most significant aspects of the phenomenon which we call mass media.

maybe the most important aim of mass media is to give news and information to

the population. that’s why the present era is often called the information age.

mass media are the means used to communicate with the general public. it is

aimed at a large audience. it exists in different forms and variations. we can

speak of broadcast media such as television and radio. there are newspapers

and magazines which are print media. the internet has recently got a mass me-

dia status as well.

3.

have you ever wondered how the latest news and information reached the popu-

lation in the past? some centuries ago people didn’t have radio, television or the

internet. for a long period of time, the public relied on writers and journa lists

for current events. after newspapers in the 1890s, came the invention of radio,

then television. now we have the internet.

4.

people want to get information or news for various reasons. on the one hand,

they wish to formulate their own opinion or to make a certain decision. to be

able to do it, they require information.

5.

people definitely react to what they see on the screen or hear on the radio. we

can’t help admitting the fact that mass media have a certain impact on people,

which could be positive or negative. it depends on what kind of information is provided to people and why it is done. in present era of globalization the major-

ity of people depend on mass media
