====== 15.  MASS MEDIA ======

Communication is a process of sending and receiving information. The press (newspapers and magazines), radio, television - all that is called MEDIA. 
The mass media bring news about what has happened home and in the world. They play an important role in everyone´s life. They provide not only news but also education and entertainment. Papers are dailies (daily) or weeklies (weekly).
 
Papers can be divided into quality papers - tabloids, popular papers.
Quality papers are read by those readers who expect to find serious news. The popular papers (or gutter press) is relatively poor. They contain a number of features about stars, sports and celebrities; they tend to be heavily illustrated. 
	
Typical sections found in newspapers are leader or editorial (written either by the Editor-ne-Chief or some other important personality), news reports, international/domestic news, political commentaries, business news, cartoons, crosswords, sports reports, advertisements, obituaries…    

Modern life is closely connected with radio and television (some people switch on TV or radio just as a background noise). Radio and television stations can be divided into two categories: commercial and non-commercial.
Programmes in television are chat/talk shows, quiz shows, comedies, cartoons, sitcoms, serials, breakfast shows, morning shows, soap operas, documentaries, wildlife programmes, nature programme, the news, weather forecast, travelogues, plays, dramas…
