Mass media is a term used to denote a section of the media specifically envisioned and designed to reach a very large audience such as the population of a nation state.
The term public media has a similar meaning, it is the sum of the public mass distributors of news and entertainment across media such as newspapers, television, radio, broadcasting....
Media influence or media effects refers to the ways how the mass media affect their audiences think and behave.
"The media has a strong social and cultural impact upon society. This is predicated upon its ability to reach a wide audience which often sends a strong and influential message. Marshall McLuhan uses the term ?othe medium is the messagê? as a means of explaining how the distribution of the message can often be more important than the message itself. It is through the persuasiveness of media such as television, radio and print media that reach the target audience. These have been influential media as they have been largely responsible in structuring people''''s daily lives and routines. Television broadcasting has a large amount of control in influencing the content that society watches and the times in which they are viewed. This is a distinguishing feature of tra***ional media and although they are by no means redundant, the development of the internet has challenged the tra***ional participation habits involved in media such as television. The internet has lifted some of the restrictions placed on society by allowing for diversification of political opinions, social and cultural differences and heightened level of consumer participation. There have been suggestions that allowing consumers to produce information through the internet will lead to a bombardment of too much information. It can however allow society a medium for expressing opinions and moving away from the political restrictions placed on society."

Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private lives?
Many well-known people complain about the difficulty of having a normal life because of annoying journalists. They can?T go out without their body guards and enjoy their freedom. Sometimes they are even chased by inspired reporters that want to be the first who publish fresh celebrity news or photography. Certainly, I think that?Ts an intrusion into their private lives; but it is usually used by celebrities as self-advertisement.
The Paparazzi most of the time don?Tt care so much about private lives of famous people. Private information publications don?Tt only affect the lives of celebrities, but also sometimes puts them in danger, as happened with Princess Diana, she was a victim of a merciless paparazzo.
Famous people are always the subject of public attention, they can?Tt relax. They even can?Tt go shopping or walking in the city without being photographed or surrounded by excited crowds of fans.
Popularity attracts special attention of the public. However, it?Ts not only the price of their success, but also the advantage that it is used for self-advertising. It is recommended for starlets to be reported and talked about to gain more popularity. Sometimes very famous people help young stars by giving concerts with them; this is a huge benefit and luck for every young star. And, probably, celebrities like to be regarded, because it shows that they are liked by public.
To recap, publicity and private life invasion are parts of show business. But journalists should be more responsible and fair towards celebrities. Everyone in the World has a right to happiness and freedom.
