The basic motive of existence and work in media should be based on, essentially, the utopian vision of humanity, loyalty and truth, where all clearly knows what is good and what is not and where everyone, including media professionals, stick strictly to the basic legal and moral principles. On the other hand, if mass media became media industry, than basic human action must be - interest. Modern media are primarily individual and then social. Current interest, therefore, can affect the understanding of the concept of accountability and obligation that results from it.

In fact, mass media sometimes can be more dangerous because of their social power and policy making ability. Three major factors influence media behaviour: - Undefined ownership over mass media. - Strong political influence on media policies. - Auto-censorship among editors and journalists.

The media, including television programming, cartoons, film, the news, as well as literature and magazines, is a very powerful and pervasive medium for expression. It can reach a large number of people and convey ideas, cultural norms, stereotypic roles, power relationships, ethics, and values. Through these messages, the mass media may have a strong influence on individual behavior, views, and values, as well as in shaping national character and culture.

Media is used by dominant powers to spread their ideological beliefs and to help maintain social control. Althusser (1971) explains that, as an ideological state apparatus, media doesn’t use pressure as a way to bind society together under one dominant ideology, but instead uses the will of the people to make them accept the dominant ideology. However, media is also used as a way for people to challenge the dominant ideology. Newspapers, for example, will have articles that openly criticise and oppose the dominant ideology for what it is, whilst at the same time providing perspectives and opinions on different ideologies (such as feminism) that society can believe in. Although these alternate ideological perspectives exist, they are usually overlooked and only ever reach small audiences. Ideology can also help us understand the media because of the way in which it distributes ideology. A lot of different types of media, such as film and TV; reflect different ideologies, though we are not always aware that they are doing so. An example of this would be action/adventure films, which shows that using force or violence to solve problems is acceptable and reflects upon certain ideologies. This helps us to understand the media because the ideology that is reflected in these films is capable of reaching big audiences through the use of TV and film, thus allowing for it to become a more common belief within

It has provided awareness about the whole world. In twenty-first century, media has a tendency to shape political, economical and social values of an individual.
