Mass Media for Entertainment and Pleasure with Examples from British History
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing mass media for pleasure and entertainment with examples from British history. Mass media in relation to today’s society has a great many formats in which to give the public information, promotion of new merchandise, news, entertainment and various forms of pleasure in the world of television, journalism, films, computer games and the internet to name a few. Traditionally, media was thought to be a source of viable information to the masses yet history shows that media was also used as much for the pleasure and entertainment of the masses as it was to provide information about current, world or political events. In today’s newspapers, although seemingly filled with violent news, they are also filled with “feel good” stories, entertainment sections, film and literary reviews as well as the classic comic, jumble and crossword features. In the Victorian era, the mass media were the providers of scandals and serial novels highly popular in that time. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Media Advocacy Campaign: AIDS

Media And Culture
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. To possess the power of information is to maintain complete control over society. As supposed watchdogs of democracy, the media have power like no other entity due to their individual and collective strength as bearers of communication. Words carry with them a great deal of power; they are capable of destroying nations and rebuilding faith. They are eloquent and strong, intimidating and potent. Indeed, language serves many purposes but of its many overwhelming influences, none are as significant as its ability to impart information. That much of contemporary society takes its cues from modern media, it is no surprise to find just how detrimental such omnipotent power can be upon the cultural formation of today's youth. No bibliography.
