The role of the mass media in a country

The role of the mass media in a country. [Newspaper] (2006)



Abstract

THE mass media have at least three important roles to play in any country – to inform, to educate and to make or at least influence opinion – while acting as the “safety valve” to release any pent–up emotions on any issue or combination of issues facing any country.

In the Malaysian context today, the traditional media comprising its print and broadcast components are being increasingly challenged by modern media in cyber space such as the internet, the blog, and the SMS, in the market of news, views and previews.
