Exercise 3. Translate into English:
Средства массовой информации играют огромную роль в современном обществе, так как они, во-первых, доносят до аудитории новости и другую информацию о мире, во-вторых, выполняют функцию наблюдателя и стража общественного порядка.
Средства массовой информации – это средства коммуникации, такие как радио, телевидение, газеты, журналы, Интернет, обмен видеоматериалами, которые позволяют электронное копирование информации.
Термин «СМИ» обозначает все способы сообщения информации огромному числу людей.
Очень небольшое количество СМИ могут оставаться совершенно беспристрастными и не вовлеченными в интересы той или иной политической или общественной организации.
Прототипом современных СМИ считаются драматические представления, разыгрываемые в древности, чтобы сообщить людям какую-то важную мысль или информацию.
Изобретение книгопечатания сделало возможным донесение информации до огромного числа людей и снизило стоимость книг.
Рекламная и приносящая прибыль деятельность СМИ очень важна для их выживания.
Социальные СМИ трансформируют общество, создавая иллюзию социальных связей для людей с недостатком личной коммуникации.
В России, как и на Западе, СМИ все чаще берут на себя роль сторожевого пса, охраняющего общественные интересы.
Только сами люди, составляющие аудиторию СМИ, решают, какая информация будет «проходить через ворота» и пользоваться вниманием публики, влияя, таким образом, на то, что беспокоит общество сегодня.
Одной из важнейших задач СМИ является пропаганда определенных идей и ценностей.
