Television plays a big role in our society, too. Most People have several TV-sets at home. Television gives a great opportunity for people to learn latest news. They are also a lot of educational programmes, children’s programmes, films and soap operas on TV, Talk shows are also very popular with people nowadays. I usually watch news and films on television. My mother likes soap operas; my father prefers sports programmes and political talk shows. My brother watches cartoons and educational programmes. I think that it is impossible to live without television now.

Radio is less popular than newspapers and television. People listen to the radio in cars and at work. I usually listen to the radio when I do my homework because it helps me think. There is a lot of music on modem radio and very few conversations. Every hour radio stations tell us news in brief. There are different types of radio stations. They are divided according to the style of music they play. There are radio stations where you can hear only classical music, rock or pop music. There are radio stations only with Uzbek music, for example, A’lo fm Radio. Some of the stations only have news and talk shows. Older people like listening to them.

There are advantages and disadvantages of mass media. The advantages are the following: mass media educate and entertain people. But you need to have a TV-set to watch television, a radio set to listen to the radio. To look for information in the Internet you will need a computer and the Internet connection and they both cost a lot. Another disadvantage is that sometimes this or that information is not reliable. The Internet is full of sites with wrong information. But in spite of all disadvantages, people still watch TV, listen to the radio and browse the Internet.
