Средства массовой информации сегодня считаются влиятельным инструментом. Все новости, образовательные и информационные ресурсы являются частью СМИ. Для лучшего понимания все источники массовой информации подразделяются на три группы: — аудиальные, представлены, главным образом, Радио; | Mass media is an influential tool nowadays. All the news, educational and informational resources are part of Mass media. For better understanding all sources of media can be divided into three groups:
One of the media tools that many people find irreplaceable is The Internet. In its turn, it can replace all the above mentioned sources and all the existing ways of broadcasting. It is important to mention that means of media have been largely modified over the last centuries. The main idea of media development was, of course, to satisfy human need for inquisitiveness. People have always wanted to know the socially significant news ahead. Already in prehistoric times they tried to receive a variety of information from trueborn shamans or fortune-tellers. They also started storing information by leaving the rock paintings, clay tablets and parchments with early writings. According to some historians the first newspapers were spread in Ancient Rome as early as the 5th century B. C. The most widespread paper resembled a daily bulletin about events of the day. In some Asian countries there were also distributed prehistoric papers. In the Middle Ages there was a wide circulation of the so-called “flying leaflets”. They could be better explained as small brochures with current information. Thanks to J. Guttenberg’s invention of printing in the middle of the 15th century, mass journalism received speedy development. Thus, Western Europe can be considered as the place of origin of the printed press. With the emergence of print media a system of journalistic genres began to develop. Among them informational chronicles, pamphlets, reportages, etc. Then there were different type of newspapers and magazines launched. The first printed papers were mostly of religious and clerical orientation. In the 16th century there were feudal-monarchist newspapers. The bourgeois reports appeared in the 19th century. The orientation of the 20th century press was socialistic and the newest and most common idea noticed in media can be characterized as common humanistic. There are several functions that Mass media generally carries out. First of all, it’s Information About the current events, facts and situation. Secondly, it’s Evaluation. Most of the facts that we receive today are being commented, analyzed and evaluated. So, we get the overall impression about them through certain evaluation. And, thirdly, media is a powerful tool for Education. All the necessary books, historical reviews, geographical facts along with information about any other sphere can be found in periodicals, TV programs and Internet resources. |
