    Teacher:

    What is the media?
    Mass media can be defined as
    channels of communication with
    the help of which information is
    delivered to the audience.
    Features of mass media
    There are 3 main features which
    characterize mass media.
    First of all, they must be periodic.
    Second, they are always aimed at a
    large audience.
    Third, there must be a speaker or any
    other source of information.
    What is included in media?

    To media belong newspapers and magazines, radio,


    television, books and nowadays very important source of
    information is internet.

    In ancient times these sources were not so important as in


    this modern age.
    Books
    Newspapers
    The power of press in the USA is enormous.
    The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of
    press and the press media act as a check on
    governmental action.

    The largest daily newspapers published in the


    USA are The Wall Street Journal, The New York
    Times(which was published in 1851 by Henry
    Raymond), The Washington Post, The Los
    Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune and many
    others.
    Magazines
    There are over 11 000 magazines published in the United
    States.
    A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety
    of articles, generally financed by advertising and purchase
    by readers.
    Magazines can be classified as:
    •General interest magazines (e.g. The Week, The Sunday
    Times etc.)
    •Special interest magazines (women's, sports, business, etc.)
    Radio
    The beginning of commercial radio broadcasts in 1920
    brought a new source of information and entertainment
    directly into American homes. Starting in the 1950s, radios
    became standard accessories in American automobiles.

    In the U.S. besides the 10 000 commercial radio stations


    are also 1 400 public radio stations, which published for
    educational purposes and are financed by public funds and
    private donations.
    TV
    The cable TV is very popular as it increases the number of
    channels. Since the time the U.S. launched the world´s first
    communication space satellite in 1965, the satellite TV has
    become quite common in the U.S.A. and other countries of
    the world.

    There are three privately


    owned networks which
    offer free programming
    financed by commercials – NBC, CBS and ABC.
    Internet
    Internet is very popular source of information.
    Mainly for young people is very useful. It brings news,
    facts or scandals, news about celebrities or the royal
    family fast and comfortable. You do not go out, you
    can only be at home and found a lots of information
    which are interesting for us at the weekend.
    But it is also really useful source of information.
    Books
    A book is a collection of sheets
    of paper, parchment or other material
    with a piece of text written on them,
    bound together along one edge within
    covers. A book is also a literary work or a
    main division of such a work. A book
    produced in electronic format is known
    as an e-book.
    Role of mass media
    in the life of the
    society
    It is difficult to overestimate the role of mass
    media in our life. Media influence people's
    consciousness, creating a certain public
    opinion.
    They also play a great role in the formation of
    a personality. With the help of mass media it
    became possible to quickly learn about things
    that happen around the world.
    Thank you
    for your
    attention!
