What is the media and how do they influence political life?

Mass media are special sources through which a wide range of the public gets acquainted with a certain amount of information. The mass media have long ceased to carry only an informative function. They have become a powerful political tool. With their help, you can create a positive image of a politician or political party. This is done both with the help of real video, audio, images and analytics, and with the use of false information. Also, with the help of the media, you can ruin your political career.
