Communication
The power of the mass media is immense. It is even referred to as the the fourth branch of the government (executive, legislative, and judiciary as three branches of government). This immense power comes from its characteristics as a meaning-maker or influencer industry. As such, it has an important role in strengthening culture, and facilitating change and development.
