The way in which the content of mass communication persuades or otherwise affects the behavior, the attitude, opinion, or emotion of the people receiving the information is studied under this discipline. There are many mediums which are used for mass communication such as television, radio, social networking, billboards, newspapers, film, and the Internet.
