Mass media is a term used to denote a section of the media specifically envisioned and designed to reach a very large audience. This term was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation newspapers  and magazines.

The internet is already the center of mass media. Everything is becoming accessible via the internet. Instead of picking up a newspaper, or watching the 10 o'clock news, people log onto the internet to get the news they want, when they want it. Many workers listen to the radio through the internet while sitting at their desk. Games are played through the internet. Blogging has become a huge form of media, popular through the internet. The education system relies on the internet . Teachers can contact the entire class by sending one e-mail. They have web pages where students can get another copy of the class outline or assignments. Some classes even have class blogs where students must post weekly, and are graded on their contributions. The internet thus far has become an extremely dominant form of media.
