Today I simply typed in "Mass Communication" and clicked on the first site I came to.
I thought this was pretty interesting:
Mass communication refers to the process of transferring or transmitting a message to a large group of people. Typically, this requires the use of some form of the media, including newspapers, television, and the Internet. The term mass communicationwas coined in the 1920s, with the advent of nationwide radio networks, newspapers, and magazines which were circulated among the masses. The distribution of information to a wide range of people remains the main function of masscommunications, even today. It can also be an avenue of escape from the daily humdrum of our lives.
Said it all right in that last sentence, ESCAPE. Is that all we are really looking for when we rely heavily on mass communication. Just that one moment, or hours where we can focus (or not) on something other than the normal duties and responsibilities that are required of us?
