THE POWER OF THE PRESS; HOW THE MASS MEDIA INFLUENCES PEOPLE


The mass media is considered the single most powerful institution in the modern world. Do your research and discover how exactly the media exerts this influence. There is no reading material to research this task; there are only listening activities in the shape of podcasts and videos. When you complete your research, write an essay in which you explain your findings.
