Mass media includes television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the internet which communicate news and information to large audiences. Television was invented in the 1920s and has become a central part of daily life, offering both entertainment and information. Radio was invented in the late 19th century and reaches isolated areas, while newspapers provide more details than television but react to events more slowly. The internet has rapidly become another major information source since the 1990s and its uses continue expanding daily.
