Mass media could play a direct role on democracy in our country. Because corporations that run and fund this country have a huge advantage in advertising using mass media. In all honesty it is a very simple concept. The corporations that have the most money to fund are able to afford the most prime time to place advertisement and in turn they will get the most influence on the population because of the number of viewers they get tuning into their ad. Citizens need access to all kinds of information through the mass media including health care information, product display, and updates on pop culture keeping up with the latest trends available on the retail market of the day. Corporate influence could have an affect on democracy because we as citizens do know that money can be powerful and we really have no control over what is advertised to us. We usually don't care to find out who has the control of advertising anyway so sure corporations may be able to buy their way to success using mass media. organization in the media world should be controlled by someone with a non bias opinion on a product who is advertising for the true better of the state and not influenced by the power of large corporations. However, that is not the world we live in unfortunately.
