Mass Media Today
The media, or mass communications, are traditionally considered to be the press, radio and television. Nowadays most people will say that the Internet is also part of them. The mass media are one of the most characteristic features (1) of modern civilization. They unite people into one global community. With their help we can learn about the events at home and abroad, discuss important problems and share our points of view.
The first collection and distribution of the news was made by members of the Roman Senate in the
1st century BC. The early Roman papers were written out in more than 2, 000 copies and sent everywhere in the Roman empire (2) and hung in public places. Magazines developed from newspapers in the 18th century. Two hundred years later the progress in science and technology brought about radio and television, while the new millennium has seen (3) a wide use of computers and the Internet.
Now all these types of mass media coexist and collaborate with each other. Thus TV channels and programmes tend to have their sites on the Internet, radio journalists often produce newspaper reviews and newspapers (4) recommend their readers what to watch on TV and publish criticism of television programmes.
All the mass media try not only to inform but also to entertain (5) their viewers, listeners, readers and users. Newspapers and magazines publish stories, anecdotes and crossword puzzles on their pages. Radio brings music to our homes and our cars. Television devotes a lot of time to broadcasting concerts, feature films and quizzes. One can find all those on the Internet as well. And these are (6) only very few examples of what the mass media do for us. On the other hand, the mass media may become a source of certain social danger by spreading unwanted or potentially harmful contents: scenes of violence, cruelty etc. We should understand the growing power of the media in the modern world. (7) it may be one of the most urgent problems of the near future to learn to use the advantages and minimize the disadvantages of mass media.
