No, it is not. It is the plural of the Latin word "medium." A "mass medium" is another name for a method of communication that reaches large audiences. Radio is a mass medium (singular). Radio, television, movies, and the internet are examples of mass media (plural). Years ago, the terms "mass media" and "mass communication" were not in common use; in fact, they did not really become popular until the 1950s and 1960s, when scholars began to seriously study the effects that various types of media had on the public. Some people today use the word "media" as a singular-- they say "The media is important in society." But if you want to be grammatically correct, you will use it as a plural-- "The media are important in society."
Ideally, the role of the mass media in an election should be to present the facts about the candidates, and to help the voters to understand the candidates' positions on important issues. One of the functions of the mass media is to inform; so whether in print, on radio and TV, or on the internet, the mass media are supposed to give useful information, so that the public will know the views of the men and women running for political office. News magazines like Time or The Week, radio news programs like NPR's "All Things Considered" and network TV evening newscasts on CBS, NBC, and ABC strive for fairness and accuracy, and avoid taking sides. But while some media sources do remain neutral and informative, others are partisan: they openly advocate for certain candidates or certain political parties (on television, for example, Fox News commentators advocate for Republicans, while MSNBC commentators advocate for Democrats; in print, the Weekly Standard is pro-Republican, while the Nation tends to favor Democrats). Or some mass media sources try to portray certain candidates favorably and other candidates negatively. While this kind of partisanship may be helpful for a TV or radio show's ratings, it does not really inform the public, nor does it contribute to voters getting both sides of the issues. in fact, negative depictions by a talk show can lead voters to think negatively about a candidate and then decide not to vote for that person.
Indeed.
The mass media provides general information to a broad collection of people; the very little amount of information one would need to be informed with current events.
