Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Mass media and social media are two distinct forms of communication that have several key differences. First, mass media refers to traditional forms of communication such as television, radio, newspapers, and magazines that reach a large audience. It is typically a one-way communication where the message is delivered to the audience without much interaction. On the other hand, social media is a digital platform that allows users to create and share content, as well as engage in two-way communication with others. It is more interactive and allows for user-generated content. Second, mass media is often controlled by a few large corporations or organizations, which can limit the diversity of voices and perspectives. Social media, on the other hand, allows for a wider range of voices and perspectives to be heard, as anyone can create and share content. This can lead to a more diverse and inclusive range of information and opinions. I use mass media, such as television and newspapers, to stay informed about current events and to consume entertainment. For example, I watch the news on TV and read the newspaper to stay updated on world events. On the other hand, I use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to connect with friends and family, share personal updates, and engage in discussions on various topics. I also use social media to follow and interact with influencers and organizations that I am interested in. Overall, both mass media and social media play different roles in my life and serve different purposes.
