WHAT IS MASS MEDIA?
Mass media can inform , educate and entertain the people who use them. Millions of people spend their free time watching TV and listening to the radio. It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV ,radio and internet.
When we say “press” we mean newspapers and periodicals. In the past a great deal of people learnt about the news from newspapers. Nowadays the people get information from TV programs or from internet, but still we cannot imagine our life without newspapers and magazines.

ADVANTAGES OF TV
-it keeps people well informed;
-it helps the people to relax; -it entertains the people
when they are tired.-it lets us know much about
the world, about the famous people and global news.
DISADVANTAGES OF TV:
It takes a lot of time; It makes us lazy; It is very harmful for our
health (especially for our eyes);
Some programs and films make the people violent;
It contains a lot of advertisement(it encourages us to buy things we don’t need at all);
It occupies all our free time.
Radio.
Radio is less popular than newspapers and television. People listen to radio in cars and at work. There is a lot of music on modern radio and very few conversations. Every hour radio stations tell us news in brief. There are different types of radio stations. They are divided according to the style of music they play. There are radio stations where you can hear only classical music, rock or pop music. Some of the stations only have news and talk shows.

DISADVANTAGES
One of the most negative aspects of the impact of the internet on our daily life is, in my opinion, that it alters the social behaviour, habits and abilities of people.
Especially children are often badly influenced by the internet.
It is very harmful to give
children access to the internet. There are many things which are not suitable for children.
So, parents should explain to children to sit in front of computer is harmful for their eyesight.
They should think about the behavior of their idols critically. It is important to get into this habit from childhood.
They have to be responsible for their decisions, and think about the consequences of their action
