My favorite Mass Media

Mass Media is very important and essential in my life-style because I must know some information about news, events and what happenend in my country or all over the world. And I have to need them rapidly, on time and live. To learn some information is some kind of tool. It is TV, radio, newspaper, magazine and Internet. Which media is the best for you? In my opinion, to surf the Internet is very convenient.

First, I use the Internet because I can research some information which I require. So, I can pick up important information. It is no vain action. When I use TV and radio, I gain some not essential information; for example, commercials and violet words, scenes and situations. In addition, to read a newspaper is good, but newspaper is not on time; that is yesterday’s event or happening. Of course, to surf the Internet brings some risk and trouble. There are a lot of unnecessary web-Sites and vandalism. Therefore, I have to pay attention to them.

Second, we must think about influence against children, because mass media has given too much good information and bad information to children. Children can’t distingush between good or bad information. So, the adults had better choose TV programs and show children to surf the Internet.

Finally, I think that to use the Internet is very usual. But, we must pay attention to how we use it and we should get only necessary information.
