We are studying "Mass Media and Communication" and that is why we have asked to write about our favourite Mass Media platform for communication.
Which is your favourite Mass media platform for communication? Why do you like it? What are its drawback?
Today everyone is connected with each other in one or other way. This is the gift of Mass media to the humans. Every human is now connected and can communicate whatever they want. The Mass media is removing the language barrier also by providing translations. Here we have asked to talk about our favourite Mass media platform, its benefits and drawbacks.
I personally prefer YouTube. I like YouTube more than any other Mass media platform. We can find anything according to our likings on YouTube and also free of cost. One only needs internet connection for using it. Secondly it effects visuals and hearing together. When it affects two senses, its effect is more than any other things. There is no other obstacles for common people also. One only needs to have Google account and any one can start their own YouTube channel. Any one can spread their new and innovative ideas. It can be reached to the people with in no time. Apart from all these things, it also provides chances to earn money by making YouTube videos. So by sharing your knowledge or give entertainment to people one can make money also. Because of all these things I like YouTube. It also provides copyright feature which will not allow your content to be stolen, and will also not allow you to use others content.
But like any other Mass media platform this also has some drawbacks. Some time it happens that people don’t understand the meaning which one wants to give, or they interpret it in totally different way. Some times this hurts the sentiments of people and it leads to the trolling of people. As YouTube spreads knowledge and innovative ideas, the spreading of fake news or information will also be equal, which will again leads towards trolling people with wrong information. Other than that it is mostly one way communication. Though it allows viewers to comment their opinions under the video but, there are so many comments and we can not guarantee that every comment will going to read by video maker. So some voices of viewers are unheard. Other drawback of YouTube is, it will not word without internet. If some one needs video without internet they have to download a particular video to watch it without internet. Otherwise it will not work.
YouTube is for general communication, in which unknown Mass is involved. But with all these things I prefer YouTube in Mass media communication than any other platforms for general communication.
For personal communication I prefer WhatsApp as Mass media platform. This provides communication at personal level. You can talk to people who are in your contact list. It provides group feature also, that you can chat in group. Here also it is free. One only need to have internet connection. It is not available without internet, we can say that it is big drawback of this platform. It is advance version pf text messages. Here also you can send messages by using internet. In simple text messages we can not know if the person has read our message or not but in WhatsApp we can know that our message is read. It also provides users privacy. It allows you to share everything and not only text. So for personal mass communication I prefer WhatsApp.
Thank you.
