Mass Media

When I think of mass media, I think about what both of the words mean. The definition of mass is: a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape. Media is defined as: 1) the plural of medium 2) the main means of mass communication. Therefore to me mass media is Broadcasting, Film, Internet, Publishing, Video games and even Mobile phones regarded collectively make up mass media. An article written by Robert Caildini depicts mass media in today’s popular culture as the carrier of information. I completely agree with this article because media has become such a big part of our daily routines. Me personally, I wake to music playing from my radio, and then eat breakfast too television. After breakfast I have go on the Internet to check my e-mail and of course my Facebook. Then while driving to school I’m talking to m friend on my mobile phone. Then after a long Mass Communication class, I head home to relac with some video games. It appears that in our everyday lives, we are always pounded with information through mass media that we don’t even realize it anymore.
