Mass Media
Mass media or mass
communications are the press, radio and television.
Every day we read
newspapers and magazines, listen to radio and watch TV. Nowadays there are so
many newspapers and magazines, radio stations and TV channels that we have to
be very -selective and give preference to some of them.
What newspapers
and magazines do I prefer to read? I like to read the following newspapers:
"Komsomolskaya Pravda" ("Komsomol Truth"), "Nezavisimost"
("Independence"), "Argumenty i Pakty" ("Arguments and
Facts"). Several periodicals are available
in English.
As far as newspapers
are concerned they may be daily, or weekly. Magazines may be weekly, monthly
and quarterly.
The newspapers and
magazines I read are the most readable and have a large readership or
circulation. For example, "Argumenty i Fakty" has a circulation of
more than 23 000 000. It is the largest in the world. The newspapers contain
and give coverage of local, home and foreign affairs. Their publications deal
with very burning problems of our history, latest events and forecasts for
future. They also touch upon cultural, sport news. I like the way they present
different points of view, approaches to the problems. My parents and I subscribe
to some periodicals, so we are subscribers. We buy some of newspapers and
magazines in a kiosk.
I often listen to radio, especially in the
morning before I leave for school. I prefer to listen to "Mayak"
("Lighthouse") programm. They broadcast much news and music. I like
to listen to weekend programmes, some of them are very amusing and
entertaining. As to the TV, we have 4 channels. I prefer to watch youth programmes.
In addition, I
like to see interesting films. They might be feature, adventure, scientific, horror,
cartoon and other films. I enjoy seeing Walt Disney's cartoons. Now and then I
like to see the programme "Love at First Sight". It is an enjoyable and
entertaining one.
