Politics and the Mass Media

Without the media, a political system would not be able to be global. The media get the political information out there for the audience to know.

Now it depends on the type of government a country has whether or not certain information can be shared with the public, but in America all political information is the publics information.

The mass media brought the 2008 election straight to America’s living rooms. This made it possible for people to see politics first hand and see what each candidate had to offer, in order to choose a side.

For global purposes, the mass media has brought us information about the political systems around the world. We are given information about other countries political systems to both learn about them and as well as to form our own opinions on their choices.
