      1. The Role of Media in Society


      Media surrounds us every day - online and offline, it means printed newspapers, commercials, magazines, the internet, social media content, apps, messengers, networks, books, radio, television and so on. Our daily life is full with media and there is hardly any possibility to escape. 

      Nowadays, digital media contents gain more and more importance. This brings along new challenges, as well as new opportunities. Have a closer look on the image below. It is only a brief enumeration of challenges and opportunities of media - especially in the digital form. Is there anything more you could think of?
