Mass media's role

The name “mass media” is used to talk about newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the internet. Mass media publishes and broadcasts immediate, live and transitory news to people. For Americans’ life, the media is an important element. It can be used, also, to entertain and educate audiences. Information to caution against hazards or difficulties is supplied to the public by using media. Not only does it form our thinking, but societies also socialize their members by transmitting cultural values on media. In addition, the media offers companionship to particular viewers (Brown & Hood, 2008).
