Mass communication is a field of study that focuses on the transmission of information to large audiences through various forms of media, such as television, radio, newspapers, and the internet. It encompasses the study of media effects, communication theories, media ethics, and the impact of mass media on society. Mass communication research often examines how messages are created, distributed, and received by audiences, as well as the role of media in shaping public opinion, attitudes, and behaviors. This field is interdisciplinary, drawing on concepts from communication studies, sociology, psychology, and other disciplines to study the complex interactions between media, audiences, and society.
