The mass media plays a very large role in reflecting a political system around the world. Without the mass media, people in countries around our globe would not be able to see what is going on in other places. When news breaks about an election in a government or something regarding the United Nations, the way we hear about it is through our mass media. They serve as a relaying device between the citizens of various countries. This creates a system in which the media has the authority to manipulate and relay the information in any way they want. They serve as a checks and balances system for the information we receive about politics and anything that goes on within governing bodies around our earth.
The media also plays a large role in letting the government’s of the world speak directly to the people. If a president or prime minister wants to speak to their nation they can set it up so that their broadcast is televised through the major networks of a given country. The same goes for cases where leaders of other countries wanting to speak to the citizens of a different one. The media serves as a channel in which the leaders of nations can speak not only to their citizens, but to the inhabitants of our globe. Without the media, there would be virtually no communication between the governments of the world and the citizens.
