Discusses the way the mass media treats social problems, its contribution to causing and curing social problems, and its use by concerned organisations and groups wishing to act to reduce social problems.

In democratic societies, the media today have a complex relation with the sources of power and the political system. Firstly, they should emit information and attitudes independent from the government and interests of power, secondly, those with interests promote news and information closely related with the political parties and other groups. Hence, there has always been a close relation between the mass communication and the product of politics. In the relation between politics and the media the good informative function is very evident. As a part of the media reality, communication contents do not only transfer messages and information from the political factors, but they also analyze, select, make comments, give their own opinion and share attitudes on them. Media effects on politics are realized through manipulative and propagandistic techniques of persuasion, contrary to the professional standards and criteria of the functioning of the mass media communication.

Mass media helps administrators and policy makers expand their audience reach, which is crucial considering the fact that face-to-face channels of communication often require abundant human resources to reach masses in rural areas. Agriculture communication is the process of communicating agriculture related information to the stakeholders of agriculture activities. The study reveals that oral communication channel plays a major role in providing information to the rural respondents vis-à-vis mass media channels. Majority of development schemes have reached stakeholders through oral communication than mass media, says the study. It may be inferred that oral communication channels are the major source of information in agricultural communication to the extent of creating awareness about development oriented programmes of the government.

American Indians and the Mass Media explores Native experience and the mainstream media's impact on American Indian histories, cultures, and communities. Chronicling milestones in the relationship between Indians and the media, some of the chapters employ a historical perspective, and others focus on contemporary practices and new technologies. Particularly valuable are the essays highlighting authentic tribal voices in current and future media. Mark Trahant chronicles the formation of the Native American Journalists Association, perhaps the most important early Indian advocacy organization, which he helped found. Including discussion questions for each essay and an extensive bibliography, American Indians and the Mass Media is a unique educational resource.
