СМИ играют большую роль в жизни общества. Oни информируют людей о текущих событиях, формируют кругозор, привлекают внимание общественности к самым насущным проблемам современного общества.
До последнего времени основными СМИ, формирующими общественное мнение, были пресса, телевидение и радио.
Издаются газеты, которые с различной степенью глубины предоставляют информацию своим читателям.
Популярные газеты содержат много фотографий, большие заголовки и короткие статьи.
Качественные газеты, наоборот, привлекают серьёзных читателей. Они больше по объёму и имеют отдельные страницы, посвящённые политике, бизнесу, спорту и т.д.
Телевидение оказывает огромное влияние на людей. Оно информирует, образовывает, воспитывает и развлекает. С появлением спутникового и кабельного телевидения возможности зрителей значительно выросли.
В настоящее время ведущая роль среди СМИ принадлежит Интернету, который навсегда изменил жизнь людей. Интернет позволил миллионам людей получить быстрый доступ к огромным и практически безграничным объёмам информации. По сравнению с энциклопедиями и традиционными библиотеками Интернет позволяет осуществить децентрализацию информации. Распространение высокоскоростных соединений и web-приложений дали пользователю большую гибкость и эффективность в работе.
