For instance before u can regard something as mass media we must look at factors like
đ timeliness
đ range at which it covers the heterogeneous audience
đeasy access to information
đreliability of information
Etc.
Left to me I will argue in the acceptance of the notion that social media should be regarded as mass media because it has overtime grown to be if not the most effective and efficient one of the most effective ways through which information are disseminated to the heterogeneous audience at a go.
Talk more of the fact that the bulk of the population are now with the help of cell phones switching away from radio and television sets to online information platform that is not only used as a medium of effective communication with immediate feedback but as a means of broadcasting both local and international news.
Hence I can conclude in the words of a scholar Marshall McLuhan that mobile devices through the aid of internet has now made the world a "global village".
So build on this argument and u will get your marks
