Mass media is arguably the fourth branch of government as it’s main purpose is to ensure that the public is aware and alert in a democratic society. But is the media really doing that?
To effectively answer this question we have to analyze the components that encompass mass media: (1) The role of the mass media (2) The content of the mass media (3) What fuels mass media? (4) What affect does the mass media have on people?
