The role of Mass media

1) It’s hard to imagine life without mass media nowadays. Information is very important for people and thanks to Mass media modern world is full of information of various kinds. Of course, not all Mass media report the events objectively, but serious media resources try to be fair and provide people with reliable information.

2) In general, Mass media is a broad concept. It includes the press, television, Internet, radio and other things that reach many people. These resources serve to inform people of what is going on in this world. Moreover, they entertain people and give each of us a great opportunity of education.

3) For example, everybody, who have the internet access, can find there something interesting for him. It may be reading of books online, watching educational videos, playing logical games and etc. As for me, I use the Internet every day for chat with friends, play games, read news, listen to music and find necessary information for my studies.

4) Basically, Internet is the media resource which has successfully displaced all other means from use. We can even watch TV online or listen to the radio! But many people still prefer to read the Press, watch television or listen to the radio. So, these media resources are also important. On the radio we can hear music, news and various discussions of current events.

5) Television also helps people to learn the latest news and provides the opportunity to watch educational programs, documentaries, sport translations, films and chat show. And the press still remains one of the most powerful kinds of mass media. People can read newspapers and magazines on different topics such as sport, politics, fashion and others.

6) In conclusion, I’d like to say that Mass media play very important part in everyday life. Millions of people surf the Internet, watch TV, listen to the radio, read newspaper and magazines. These media resources influence the way we dress, eat and communicate. Moreover, they can make people change their views on different matters.
