Compare the evolution of mass media in various regions of the world.

As one would assume, mass media and its impact vary around the world.  American mass media is described as being Libertarian, but has been criticized for its view and excess, which has authoritarian and debates of social responsibility with the freedom that our media sources have.


Canada and Europe have closely related forms of mass media.  Western Europe and Canada are now under guaranteed expressionism, which is similar to the First Amendment in our own constitution, providing us with freedom of speech.


Eastern Europe has been evolving over the last century as it tries to define its own balance between having free expression and continued government control.


Middle Eastern and Africa's Mass Medias are strictly controlled by the government.  More mass media is produced in these countries in the highly populated areas.  The Middle East is strictly controlled by its government entity.  And in Africa, with it being so sparsely populated throughout, they rely on radio as their primary mass media source.


Asia, India and Australia find themselves in a mass media explosion, and their countries are ruled by mix of private and government run companies providing their media sources.


Latin American and the Caribbean mass media sources comprise part of the power structure of the country.  The government, corporations and family dynasties throughout the country owning and deciding what mass media is shared with the public.
