Media Studies: Development, Scope and Bibliography

Abstract

Our world is now surrounded by media: newspapers, magazines, radio, television, video, movies, compact discs, satellites, websites, and computers. The media helps our lives and gives influence and impact in the journey and decisions of human beings. The media is no longer limited by any boundaries be it social boundaries, geographical boundaries, economic boundaries or technological boundaries. The world seems to be getting smaller and narrower with the advent of media technology that has now succeeded in establishing a virtual world in a village.

Dunia kita kini dilingkungi media: akhbar, majalah, radio, televisyen, video, wayang gambar, cakera padat, satelit, laman web, dan komputer. Media memberi bantuan kepada kehidupan kita serta memberi pengaruh dan kesan dalam perjalanan serta keputusan din manusia. Media tidak lagi dibatasi oleh sebarang sempadan sama ada sempadan sosial, sempadan geografi, sempadan ekonomi atau sempadan teknologi. Dunia kelihatan semakin kecil dan sempit dengan adanya teknologi media yang kini telah pun berjaya mengasaskan dunia maya dalam sebuah desa.
