Television "Mass Media" was in its infancy stage back in the 1950's and was about to change how we perceived our world tremendously. Presidential elections would never be the same (Nixon and Kennedy debate), war would be seen for what it really was (Vietnam), advertising was about to take off (consumer products) - far too many to list here. * Advocacy, both for business and social concerns. This can include advertising, marketing, Propaganda, public relations, and political communication. * Enrichment and education. * Entertainment, traditionally through performances of acting, music, and sports, along with light reading; since the late 20th century also through video and computer games. * Journalism- news and blogging. * Public service announcements.
