Mass media can reach a wide audience and is a primary means of communication. It includes print media like newspapers and books, as well as electronic media like radio, TV, and the internet. Mass media benefits education by giving all students an equal chance to learn regardless of attributes, and allowing distribution of information over long distances. While it can be misused, mass media is generally a useful tool for grading schools, showing their successes, and praising high-performing students. E-books are digital publications that can be read on computers and devices. They have advantages like low updating costs, multimedia capabilities, and searchability. However, they also have disadvantages like not being as convenient to read as print and risking piracy.
