Summary
Media is a means of communicating to a broad audience. Media is at the center of modern culture such that new types of media can generate social change. For example, the shift from broadcast media to digital media allowed much smaller media producers such as bloggers, vloggers and podcasts to reach audiences. This created more diverse voices in media that had been centrally controlled by a handful of large media companies.
