Mass media shaping the publics agenda

Mass media has greatly shaped our counties agenda. Because of our advances in technology and sites like social networks we have become a society of fast paced thinkers. We want to know what is happening immediately and at all times of the day. Because of this, mass media has made the publics need for world issues in constant demand. At every moment of the day someone is plugged into some form of technology that connects him or her to the news. Therefore the public’s agenda of issues has changed, some would say for the better. We no longer wait for the daily or weekly newspaper to find out what is happening; now all we have to do is press a few buttons.
