Persuading and Entertaining

Which of the mass media perform the informing the best? Entertaining? Persuading? Explain.

I feel that the Internet does the best job of informing, of all of the forms of mass media. The Internet is quickly becoming a mainstream source of news. At one's finger tips, you can find multiple news stations or newspapers. The Internet can be updated at a moment's notice, and one can avoid trips to the library and store. The Internet can also show a viewer not only written information, but also music, news casts, radio, and podcasts.

The most entertaining form of mass media is television and movies. After a long day, or when someone needs a break, they sit in front of the television in order to relax. Everything from serious documentaries to chick flicks are shown on a television. It seems when audience members are the most busy, they are always drawn back to the television. We can always find a spare moment to watch an episode of "The Office" or "Pirates of the Caribbean."

The most persuading form of mass media is advertising. Advertisements are place within every aspect of mass media, and they are made to convince consumers that the product advertised if worth purchasing. Advertisements are informative and often entertaining so that consumers remember the products being advertised. The purpose of an advertisement is to be persuasive. If they were not persuasive, no products would be sold.
