Detailed explanation-1: -Newspapers and magazines are known as print media, whereas television and radio are known as electronic media. Both forms of media continue to remain relevant to this day.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prior research suggests that media influences through two effects: the individual or direct effect (private) or the social or indirect effect (public). In the individual effect, media information about new norms may persuade individuals to accept them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three main sociological perspectives on the role of media exist: the limited‐effects theory, the class‐dominant theory, and the culturalist theory.
