       Mass media is the means that are used to communicate to the general public. In this lesson, you will learn the different platforms for mass media and the influence that mass media has on society.

WHAT IS MASS MEDIA?

       Think about this for a second: whenever you want to hear your favourite song, watch your favourite show, or see the latest current events, where do you go? You more than likely turn on your television, radio, or computer. The source that the majority of the general public uses to get their news and information from is considered mass media.

       Mass media means technology that is intended to reach a mass audience. It is the primary means of communication used to reach the vast majority of the general public. The most common platforms for mass media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the Internet. The general public typically relies on the mass media to provide information regarding political issues, social issues, entertainment, and news in pop culture.

       The mass media has evolved singingly over time. Have you ever wondered how the latest news and information was communicated in the past? Well, before there was the Internet, television, platform for mass media.  For a long period of time, the public relied on writers and journalists for the local newspapers to provide them with the latest news in current events.

       Centuries later, in the 1890’s, came the invention of the radio. The radio would soon supersede the newspaper as the most pertinent source for mass media. Families would gather around the radio and listen to their favourite radio station programs to hear the latest news regarding politics. Social issues, and entertainment.

Later on down the line came the invention of the television the television. The television would soon replace the radio for most relevant from of a mass media and has become a major tool for news outlets. Since the evolution of the internet, the general public is outlets in an instant with just a click of a mouse, instead of having to wait for scheduled programs.

Mass media is many different types of technologies that are meant to reach large audiences through communications. This type of media is one of the most used, mass media has become the main channel of communication that is used. This day and age most people rely on the news to be their source for voting and the everyday events.

       Competition is also very important in mass media, because the people in charge of the different type of mass media are having to compete for the views, and the people to listen and or read. Publishing companies and television companies are two different types of mass media.

       These types of mass media keep people up to date with events all around the world. They also help show the norms and let people see how they are supposed to act, or in some cases, show people negative ways of acting.

Mass media is what controls print media. Many mass media has a lot of internet presence, because of blogging and email services and averting. These are many different, but in reality it is impossible to sum up all the reasons that it is important. This is because it is one of those “priceless” subjects, without mass media the world would not be the same because people wouldn't have access to the sources of information that they do because of it.

Now a day’s mass media is daily and important necessity for people and we have a change to get full information which we want. Go without saying. We can’t imagine our life without mass media. Personally I almost every day watch the news by TV when I come home after lesson according to have my spare time. As a rule, radio is all time with me because it is not break in on me, especially I listen to the radio on the way and in the evening when I doing my lesson. I don’t often use the newspaper, because I prefer internet more than it.

Being of the time, internet is the most convenient and necessary for us. That’s why we get all information what we want in any time, even we can read the newspaper by internet, or can see all shows and news which is we couldn't see by TV. Besides I usually put on my clothes after know about weather forecast by internet, before go to study. So internet is the most indispensable for me and, I prefer it  than other source.

Media is one of the most useful essence of human life. We speak of mass media of media revolution and of living in a media society. We are overloaded with all these letters sounds and films, pixels, headlines, jingles. When we use the term media in this context we speak of print and electronic media, the so called mass media. Media affect our modern life in nearly every way. With a turn of a magazine page or an easy flip of the TV channel there at our disposal is a huge array of potential identity replicas. In contemporary society  identity of continuously unstable; it must be selected, constructed and created with reference to inevitable surrounding media traditions.

       There are a variety of medium from which people can pick and access information from such as radio, TV, Internet, or even cell phones. Consequently, the media holds a very powerful capacity to set a social issue for mass audience to assume and talk about. Often, media do not intentionally set the agenda and resolve the pros and cons of that particular matter, so it repeatedly causes terrible consequences towards public as well as establishes ‘moral panics’, which can sometimes direct to mob violence. This writing will argue that identity is a social construction, managed primarily by the contemporary media and created relation.

       An individual’s identity is formed by society in which media plays a predominant role. There is a daily interactive relationship between the subject and the object, that is, human agents and the conditions of their subsistence respectively. Theories of the individual emphasize on difference between people and deem these differences as natural. Individuals are “constituted” as the possessors of positions throughout the effects of social relations.

       Alternatively, other theories of the topic concentrate on people’s general experiences in society through watching TV, surfing the internet or reading the newspaper. It is these general experiences that are the most significant way of distinguishing who we are.

       Thus, subject identity is a social construction, not an ordinary one, when we cannot with the media, we act and are acted upon, use and are used by the system. The following text deals with the importance of media to politics and society.

       Media is the most powerful tool of communication. It helps promoting the right things on right time. It gives a real exposure to the mass audience about what is right or wrong. Even though media is linked with spreading fake news like a fire, but on the safe side, it helps a lot to inform us about the realities as well.
