Mass Media
Jane Murray, Rick Linden and Diana Kendall. (2011). "Mass Media." Sociology in Our Times. 5th Canadian Edition, Nelson Education.

It also focuses on the biased view of the Media, and how it changes the thinking perspectives of different social groups. The fact of it explaining the meaning of Mass Media in simple and precise terms makes it important for my research and would help me conclude my research question.
