Pro

• The mass media play a key role in broadcasting values and cultures to almost everywhere in the world and thus it propels communication and mutual understanding which may benefit the whole society. For example, as people from different places know about each other better, they can alleviate mutual prejudice and hatreds. Also, some rumors may also vanish by the time the two people meet with each other by the means of mass media.

Con

• Biased sources of information. In many countries media can be manipulated or censored by governments or pressure groups. Their function is thus undermined.
