Nowadays, with the rapidly increasing development in our world, people’s demand for communicating, getting up-

to-date news and searching for information is becoming bigger and bigger. The term” the mass media” emerged as a
result and has been growing by leaps and bounds since then. The term refers to a diverse array
of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. The technologies through which this
communication takes place include a variety of outlets. It falls into three main categories: broadcast media, digital
media and internet media. Broadcast media involves transmitting information electronically via media such
as films, radio, recorded music, or television. Digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass
communication. And Internet media is related to such services as email, social media sites, websites, and Internet-
based radio and television. In terms of ways of transmission, it can be divided into two main types: outdoor
media,which comprises commercial buildings, shops, sports stadiums, subway cars, or trains; signs; or skywriting
and print media, which is widely spread through physical objects, such as books, comics, magazines, newspapers,
or pamphlets. Mass media encompasses much more than just news, although it is sometimes misunderstood in this
way. It can be used for various purposes.Advocacy, both for business and social concerns.This can include
advertising, marketing, propaganda, public relations, and political communication. Entertainment, traditionally
through performances of acting, music, and TV shows along with light reading; since the late 20th century also
