Information Technology And Mass Communication

To deny the fact that Information and Communications Technology is not only important but crucial in Mass Communication is an understatement. In this post- modern world today, to live without knowledge of ICT is like having a pen in your hand without knowing what to do with it. Our world has become a global village without necessarily destroying our various cultures. Like the Radio and Television before it, the Computer has eventually become a home appliance that many people look at as an indispensable medium of communication. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the importance of ICT in Mass Communication. Let us begin with the definition of the terms. The present publication brings out the convergence between information technology, information and communication and their applications in mass communication, and highlight the tremendous changes brought out by internet in journalism and related professions. It will serve as a highly meaningful reference work for the students and teachers of journalism, the professionally or personally curious ones and general public alike."
