7. Mass communication
Mass communication is the process of imparting and exchanging information
through mass media to large segments of the population. It is usually
understood for relating to various forms of media, as these technologies are
used for the dissemination of information, of which journalism and advertising
are part of. Mass communication differs from other forms of communication,
such as interpersonal communication and organizational communication,
because it focuses on particular resources transmitting information to
numerous receivers. The study of mass communication is chiefly concerned
with how the content of mass communication persuades or otherwise affects
the behavior, the attitude, opinion, or emotion of the people receiving the
information. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org > wiki)

The mass line is the political,
organizational and leadership
method developed by Mao
Zedong and the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) during
the Chinese Revolution.
