MEDIA QUESTION!!!! URGENT!!!!!? - Zuki - 03-10-2014 02:15 PM
How does the social networking affect the concept of mass media?

Social networking and the definition of "mass media" and how different things affect it is a HUGE topic.
In my opinion: it doesn't. I don't see social networking as having anything to do with the media, other than the internet is a medium for conveying information and social networks are on the internet as are news organizations.
Here are the wikipedia pages for "mass media" and "social networking":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_media
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking
Take what you can from those. If this is for a school report, go through the sources on the bottom of the page to find more reliable information you can cite.

Mass Media is rapidly changing due to social networking. Only 10 years ago, mass media was primarily tv, radio broadcasts, and print media monitored by government and constrained by several corporations. Social networking allows information, for better or worse, to be shared quickly, freely, and completely uninhibited. Several pros and cons here… i.e. social networking in China vs. mass hysteria from incorrect or misleading data.
