Revoultion of Todays Media

The media in todays society has grown larger than ever. With Television, Radio, and Internet giving hourly updates, one is never starved for news and current world events. The term "Mass Media" is used to describe what produces this "news" all over the world. To understand the foundings and information the media brings, in its masses, I believe one must understand current events outside the area to which a citizen is accustomed to living in. It expands worldly through message boards,podcast, websites,video hosting services, and blogs such as this one. It has become so large that it in a sense, promotes political and social aspects This can include advertising, marketing, propaganda, public relations, and political communication. Over communication is key throughout the mass media, giving daily updates on the current political election is key to the mass media, as it gives world renounced insight into the political future of American citizens. The Mass media is bigger than ever now and it is because technology has advanced so far, throughout society. News reports fifty or sixty years that would have been received weeks later, are know at our finger tips in seconds. The mass media is anywhere you look, you cannot avoid its ethical and political views on society, however you can educate yourself in media censorship, and various other media related tactics that promote strong social and political affects on society. We must remember Marshall McLuhan uses the term “the medium is the message” as a means of explaining how the distribution of the message can often be more important than the message itself.
