CONCLUSION:
Understanding of individuals and society depends on the study of media history. We can better understand what
happened and why it did so by studying the past. Your past is returned to you by history. The same way that
individuals depend on memories to develop their identities and make plans for the future, communities depend on
history to give the present context and significance. The present doesn't make much sense without a grasp of the
past.With the help of the media, society may exchange ideas. We can learn about our identity by researching the
history of media. Through newspapers and television, ideas and opinions are shared and absorbed by individuals,
resulting in a society with similar ideology. As we learn more about mass society, we also gain a better
understanding of our own identities, backgrounds, beliefs, and justifications for those beliefs.
