Mass media in Russia

The topic I’m going to speak about is entitled “Mass media in Russia”. To begin with I’d like to say that mass media play an important role in our life. Firstly they inform us help to keep up with the latest events in the present-day life of our country and the whole world. What is more they cover vital, topical problems that concern everyone and us with information about recent inventions, discoveries in different spheres of life, such as science, technology, medicine, news in the world of sport and art. Secondly they influence and form public opinion and shape our views.
