Mass media


Eight functions of mass media:

1) inform (a teacher function)
2) surveillance (a watcher function)
3) service the economic system
4) hold society together (act as sort of a cultural glue)
5) entertain
6) act as a community forum (media's equivalent of town hall meeting or group discussion)
7) set the agenda
8) service the political system
