Well, there are eight functions of mass media:
1) inform (a teacher function)
2) surveillance (a watcher function)
3) service the economic system
4) hold society together (act as sort of a cultural glue)
5) entertain
6) act as a community forum (media equivalent of town hall meeting or group discussion)
7) set the agenda
8) service the political system
Or some sources say
Inform
Interpret
Mold opinion
Enable decision making
Agent of change
Entertain
I'd like to ask you to explain me these in detail. I'm preparing for my exam, you see and can't find an in-depth look at this anywhere.
