Public relations is another form of media that I will examine and it benefits. In this research paper I will be observing these aspects of media and the internet to a better understanding of them.
When analyzing local media and seeing the materials that are provided by public relations are astounding. Public relations is a crucial part of gaining information for news and other media efforts. “Researchers have estimated that 25% to 50% of news content in the United States is influenced by public relations, with some estimates running as high as 80%”. (Burleson, 2012) Organizations participating in public relations are more likely to gain better information because you are going straight to the source.

I do not know much about public relations (PR), but if I can attempt to put it in a single definition it would be the communication or process in connecting to the mass media. The mass media is any consumer, voter or supporter of that particular company or person. When I envision what a person might do in a career in public relations I immediately think of Olivia Pope from ABC’s popular show Scandal. Public relations is involved with creating press releases, curating charities and essentially anything that will helps improve that business’ brand or that party’s’ image significantly. Unlike a management position, public relations comes in and consults during a crisis or scandal that affects the public and leaves when the situation is resolved.
As innovation extended and developed, the electronic age started. Since that time broad communications has duplicated exponentially, data can be gotten to quicker and speedier, more data could be flowed and got to. And in addition data flowing, advertising and advertisements were currently ready to contact more individuals, and target crowds in light of people's web use. The web impacts the development and spread of media, and in the long run gave the force of media exchange to the general population, now distributers and stations are no more in control of the media and its data. In spite of the fact that the data might be begun by a writer, government authority, or news partner, individuals can get to the data, include his or her info, and spread his or her perspective on the subject to others. New wellsprings of broad communications, similar to long range interpersonal communication destinations and sites are viewed as rising media, since they are not
During the electronic age, the public sphere seemed to be unsupported by media such as radio, newspapers and magazines as they were too passive and excessively focused upon advertising and marketing (Macloughlin, 2015). The internet of the other hand offered a far more active voice to people around the globe enabling anyone with access to a computer and the internet to benefit from online communication and engagement.

The song spawned multiple Internet parodies and even earned Psy a lucrative Superbowl advertisement contract as the spokesperson for Wonderful Pistachios.
Media convergence refers to the services and activities emerged through the development of the Internet, where it has allowed for interlink between communication networks and media contents (ALRC, 2015). The establishment of ‘Internet’ has drastically changed the overall communication model in the society in the past 15 years. Where today the communication model has shifted from a mass communication into a networked communication model (Cardoso, 2008). The Internet has allowed for access to both the old and new media, which refers to communication through broadcasting (e.g. radio, newspaper, book etc.) and through the Internet, to be able to access any digital devices (e.g. blogs, social media, online newspapers etc.). This process has enhance human’s understanding of the world today and allowed people to gain greater knowledge of the world through media convergence, it has allowed for interconnection between all types of media through technologies such as mobile phones and SMS technology.
In today’s society 50% of the world population is thought to use the internet (Internet). That is an astounding 3,675,824,813 people (Internet). Considering this overwhelming total it can be said that most of the media in today’s society revolves around the internet. TV news stations and newspapers are viewed by far less individuals on a global scale than the internet.

In today’s world Internet has become one of the most important mediums of communication. It has become the lifeline of our survival. It has removed the entire social, economic and physical barrier and has immense effect on our day to day activity.
New media is more advanced in function nowadays, attracting numerous people to be involved and engaged in the cyberspace. New media is preferred over the traditional one, especially for the internet, which has became the main platform for the delivery of pop culture.

There are several debates on whether the uses and gratifications research of Mass Communication is still relevant in the modern world as well as considering the possibility that the Era of Mass Communication has ended completely. According to Thomas E. Ruggiero, the uses and gratifications are evolving to approach towards the new mass communication form, from the early years of newspaper, radio and television, and now the Internet (Ruggiero, 2000). These technologies are used to reach large audiences for media purposes. Internet and social networking has become more dominant form of communication between audiences and media outlets. This would create a change in mass media relationships in comparison to the previous pre internet era, including in the use and gratifications obtained by the audiences. Meaning an individual may get something else out of using the mass communication technology of internet than the form of a newspaper, as that was during the time that U&G studies surfaced. Studies of the 20th Century mass media (pre internet Era) may differ from modern uses and gratifications of the mass media with the major influence of the internet. The debates are whether pre internet research on uses and gratification is still relevant in today’s modern day usage of internet.
In addition, the Internet allows journalists to communicate with their audience. What is meant here is the fact that unlike other mass media, the Internet is truly interactive to the extent that journalists and audience can exchange ideas freely without any significant limitations. For instance, journalists can receive a feedback from the audience in a matter of minutes after the material they have prepared is published on the web. In such a way, journalists can receive the feedback from the audience and develop their professional work taking into consideration needs and wants of the audience or simply sharing their ideas with the audience attempting to persuade the audience, and so on. In other words, the Internet is becomes not just a means of bombardment of the audience with information that leads to the overwhelming impact of media on the consciousness of people. Instead, the Internet becomes the means of communication between the audience and journalists.
