Through this class I have learned the many effects of mass media across all areas of life, business, and global reach. Mass media in its many forms has the ability to reach many individuals, with a goal of influencing the people it is reaching. Mass media has become a form of mass communication used in many different ways. News has the ability to keep the individuals watching up to date of what is going on across the world. It can also be used as an advertising outlet, which can have negative effects on the audience. All forms of mass media have transformed over the years into mass media as we know it today.
Mass media can also be used as a watchdog to government. Mass media can be effective as a watchdog because it has the ability to make sure the most accurate information is given to the audience, and keeps government as honest as it can by showing these true facts. Another form of news that is effective in giving accurate information is muckraking, which is a reporters chance to dig deep to find the real facts about a story. All of the forms of mass media have an effect on the audience that it is being shown to, making it an effective form of mass communication.
