The media’s job is to entertain, inform, and educate society on what is going on around the world. The
media entertains society by reporting stories that amuse people. The educational function of the media
is about allowing society to know their legal rights. The informational aspect of the media does not need
to be explained; it is self-explanatory. Within the last three decades, the media’s role has changed
dramatically. The media went from using telegraphs, post offices, newspapers, magazines, radio, and
television to using cell phones and tablets. In the modern era, which is also sometimes referred to as the
information age, global networking and global communication have shaped modern societies.
