Media: Another Word For Mass Communication
The world we live in now is a world of mass communication. Today we have access to more information than was ever possible before, thanks to radio, television, newspapers, and the internet. You can sum up all these means of gathering information in one word: Media. The means of instant communication for hundreds of millions of people every day, hour, and minute. Where else would you find the latest international news, financial information, or weather with the click of a mouse, touch of a remote control, or turning on of a radio? Media makes possible the means to be informed of who, what, where, and how is going on that instant. Even if you wanted to, its not possible in the world today to flee from information. Anywhere you go, its there. You just have to reach out and make the most of its potential in your life. Now, you may be asking yourself, "What exactly are these means of receiving information?". The answer is what this essay is dedicated to. Like the theme song from "Diff'rent Strokes" said: "It takes diff'rent strokes to move the world.". Television One of the largest contributors to mass communication is television, or better known as TV. About 97% of the United States has at least one TV in their home. At least 60% have two or more. This is a incredible way to reach millions of at one time. Examples of this includes Pres. Clinton's grand jury testimony, nightly news, and the Gulf and Vietnam Wars. Without TV, we would still be able to learn about these events, but not in the same clarity or context we are able to with it. On TV you can find anything that you may want to watch or learn. Sex. News. Government. Family. Drugs. International affairs. Its all on the TV for you to research, examine, and use. The history of TV shows it hasn't always been this way. The name television comes from a Greek word meaning far and a Latin word meaning to see. Thus, television means literally "to see far".... Please login to view comments from other users.
