"Mass media

Mass media are ways of how to distribute information. We can divide them into 2 groups: electronic and paper. Electronic are TV, radio and internet. Papers are press, which consist of newspaper and magazines.

Media are used for information, entertainment and education. Today’s people take this as an ordinary thing and we don’t realise that we nearly can’t live without it. Media are very important for us. They give us big amount of information and they help us to understand things.
Our world is very huge and sending a message from America to Asia a few centuries ago was nearly impossible or it took a lot of time. Nowadays you can send the message in a few seconds and it is very simple. The media makes the world much smaller. The world is also called ‘the global community village’.

The good site of it is that we have always access to information from world. But there aren´t only good things about media. For example, some information can be false, so we have to choose carefully which type of media is reliable. Secondly there is a danger of being influenced in a bad way and thirdly, if you are a famous person the media very often take very big piece of your privacy.

In my opinion, journalists and reporters should respect privacy of the VIPs and give them more space, because famous people can do whatever they want in their private life and it´s not our business. We should imagine ourselves in their position and realize how we would feel, if somebody invaded our privacy and stalked us. I think that it´s not fair, when some famous person was for example unfaithful to his wife, everybody knew it and we read about it everywhere, while many another people did it too and nobody write about it to some tabloids or magazines.
