We can’ t imagine our life without mass media. Our Information Age is determined in many respects by the mass media. The mass media doesn’t only spread the news, but also imposes certain values on contemporary man. The received information moulds the way of people's thinking. Sometimes information given by television, radio, newspapers and the Internet is contradictory and man must decide which one is more reliable.
People started to get news comparatively quickly with the appearance of newspapers. Newspapers are very important for a contemporary man. The choice of the newspapers is wide. Now all newspapers are classified into two groups; quality and popular. Quality newspapers are serious national papers intended for educated readers. Popular newspapers are tabloid, they are designed for common readers.
Nowadays the mass media has become daily and essential necessity. The mass media reports about various aspects of life, they form and affect public opinion.
We all know well that media events or stories influence and illustrate our interpersonal relationships. But as you recall your own 'turning points,' you'll recognize much more than that. Like it or not, our personal lives and important relationships are redirected, sometimes radically, by the media. The question is not whether this will occur to us or not. The question is how we will perceive and handle it, how we will welcome the media or barricade ourselves against it. Parents feel that the terms of their family life (dinner topics, vacation spots, nutritional and health decisions) are set by the media before they have a chance to raise the issues themselves.
So media can determine and create our relationships as well.
