Rules and Ethics Typically Applicable to Mass Media Don't Necessarily Spread Over to Social Media (Part 1)

The answer to Social Media Misconception rests within the Semantics. The chronology of mass media is not a modern-day practice. The concept of taking the message across a group of people reaches back into the pre-industrial age as a public service. The mass media intends to serve all community members. In some countries, it is provided by the government to people living within its authority either through direct public-backed funding or by financing the provision of services. Therefore, mass media practice is traced back to when acts were performed in various ancient cultures, as first noted within the printed Chinese book, the "Diamond Sutra" in 868 AD. The book describes the action when a "movable clay type" was invented in 1041 in China. It is being accepted that because of the sluggish education spread among the people in China and the comparatively high cost of paper there, the earliest printed mass-medium was the famous European prints from about the 1400s.
