СМИ включает в себя все “инструменты”, которые у нас есть для общения с большим количеством людей... телевизоры, радио, кино, он-лайн услуги, журналы и газеты. Все они несут информацию, которая достигает массы людей в отличие от писем, телефонных звонков и один-на-один (тет-а-тет) разговоров известных межличностных СМИ.
СМИ обращаются к людям и организациям, которые обеспечивают новости и информацию для общественности. До сих пор это были в основном газеты, телевидение и радио. Сегодня компьютеры играют очень большую роль. Интернет-это компьютерная система, которая позволяет людям получать и обмениваться информацией о чем угодно. Обычная почта передается по электронной почте, отправление и получение происходит через компьютер. Это позволяет людям отправлять сообщения друг другу быстро и недорого. Обычная почта теперь называется “улиткой”, и возникает вопрос о том, что работа почтальона находится под угрозой исчезновения.
