Which kind of mass media TV, radio, news papers, magazines is the mostpopular and dominates in Lithuania? Which one do you and your familyprefer? Is it information or entertainment that you are looking for in themedia?
We’re living in the 21st century, in a world of mass communication,and it is possible to know what is happening in every corner of the world.We get the newest, most interesting information from various sources: TV,radio, newspapers, and magazines. To my mind, TV is the most appropriateway to receive information and entertainment for people in Lithuania.Especially for those, who work hard, are very busy and have no time to readthe press. Watching TV is the fastest way to know what is happening in yourcountry and all over the world. However, I can’t say that only TV is themost popular in Lithuania. There are many people who enjoy readingnewspapers, magazines and listen to the radio going in a car, in workoffices or doing a room. When I wake up, first step I do, I turn my radioon to hear the weather forecast and horoscope of the day. My family prefers TV and reading the press. My parents’ job startsonly after midday, so every their morning begins with a cup of strongcoffee and newspapers in the hands. If the press isn’t brought, they turnthe TV on and watch morning’s programme. I, actually, prefer watching TV. Surely, I choose those channels,which offer a great variety of programmes: current affairs, interwievs,discussions, documentaries, drama productions and feature programmes. Ofcourse, I don’t watch all programmes running. I look through the TV programin advance and choose what I think might be interesting to me. Iparticularly enjoy the talk shows, quizzes, and sitcoms. I do my best not
to miss them. However, the main thing I watch everyday is news. Apart fromthis, TV has one disadvantage. I can’t stand our television becoming toocommercialized. It’s so unpleasant when a film is interrupted and some catfood is advertised. On the whole, living in this period , there are lots of ways toreceive information and to find entertainment, However, every personchooses that one, which is available, most interesting, attractive,correspond to his interests.
