Mass media (Jason)

Television is the broadcasting of a still or moving image via radiowaves or electrical signals to receivers that project a view of the image on a picture tube. TV actually does not have one audience but it is rather targetted to everybody. Currently, TV chanels are increasing due to varietiness of human interests. And to fill those interest and get attention from people, TV programs are constantly changing. In my perspective, I see two purposes of TV. One is to inform and entertain people. The other is to make profit. And because TV has these kinds of characteristic as its foundation, even in comedy program, I see some aspects of commerce. Every program's goal is to survive and it means geting as much viewers possible. TV is very wide that both have infinite possibilities and wide areas of fields that can relate to.
