Mass media refers collectively to all media technologies, including the internet, television, newspaper, film and radio, which are used for mass communications, and to the organizations which control these technologies.
The phrase "the media" started to be used in the 1920s, but referred to something that had its origins much further in the past. The invention of the printing press in the late 15th century gave rise to some of the first forms of mass communication, by enabling the publication of books and newspapers on a scale much larger than was previously possible.
