Mass Communication
Mass communication is the process of creating, sending, and receiving messages to a large, diverse audience through media channels like television, radio, and the internet, enabling widespread information sharing and cultural influence. In today's digital era, it not only shapes public opinion and drives social change but also raises concerns about misinformation and echo chambers in platforms like social media.
