INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The history of mass media can be traced back to the days when dramas were performed in various ancient cultures. This was “broadcast” to a wider audience. The first dated printed book known is the “Diamond Sutra”, printed in China and 868AD, although it is clear that books were printed earlier. Movable clay type was invented in 1041 in China. However, due to the slow spread of literary to the masses in China, and the relatively high cost of paper there, the earliest printed mass-medium was probably European popular prints from about 1400.
