Answer 2

Mass media is a means to reach many millions of people through something such as television, radio, the internet, or other technologies. This ability can potentially be abused to spread misinformation to a whole society and enable people in power to abuse their power. It can also spread racism, sexism, and other hateful ideas to make crimes against entire groups of people acceptable to a society.

Answer 3

Historically, the role of the mass media in society is to keep the public informed, keep the public entertained, and transmit the culture from generation to generation. In other words, access to the media brings us our culture's biggest stars and most popular programs; the sports events we most enjoy; music concerts from everywhere in the world; speaking engagements featuring famous news-makers... as well as the information on current events and politics that lets us know what our government is doing and what is happening around the world.

Even in our modern world with instant communication, someone has to sort out the stories and get the facts to the audience. Radio, TV, and print journalists report on the major news and make sure it is fact-checked, reasonably accurate, and trust-worthy. There are also partisan commentators who represent particular points of view and give the audience someone with whom they can share outrage or agreements on the issues of the day.

Of course, the media have their faults. Some media spread outrageous Propaganda for one political party or the other; some focus on scandal rather than on accuracy; some only care about getting the story first, rather than making sure they got the story right. And commercial media can often represent the interests of sponsors and advertisers more than the interests of the public. This means that certain stories that might show a big business negatively might not be reported, for fear of losing an advertiser.

But on the other hand, because we live in an internet universe, there are reader-supported magazines online that have more freedom to do investigative reporting. And even with the commercially-sponsored media, in a time of crisis, radio and TV can unify the country and keep the public up-to-date with the latest information. To this day, as in times past, people have favorite programs, favorite announcers, favorite entertainers, favorite publications, favorite stations. It would thus be accurate to say that the media touch just about every aspect of our lives in one way or another.
