We the People - And the Mass Media Prof.
Students are heavy consumers of mass media.
They watch television and many spend hours on the Internet in chat groups or using various forms of e-mail. They also read newspapers and magazines. Media forms are converging, with magazines on the Internet and newspapers and television stations sharing newsrooms. Issues central to the concept of convergence include the effects of changing media on a democratic society, the implications for cultural and social change, and the relationship to internationalism. Critics are wondering whether the old forms of media will survive.
