Abstract

Efficient communication is critical for fostering social inclusion and political cohesiveness in society as well as for information transmission and reality creation. The various media models are also covered in this research, including the public sphere model, which is more accountable to the public, and the commercial model, which puts profit ahead of public service. The essay also emphasizes how the media has the ability to shape public opinion and determine political agendas. In conclusion, communication is a complex process with significant implications for society and politics. The role of mass media, whether through the commercial model or the public sphere model, is crucial in shaping public opinion and facilitating democratic engagement. While media can serve as a voice for the voiceless and a watchdog of democracy, there are concerns about its potential misuse for propaganda and misinformation, impacting public awareness and critical thinking. It is evident that understanding the dynamics of communication and media is essential for informed citizenry and a thriving democratic society.
