All of the following statements are true about mass media education except –
`Distorted information' is a feature of propaganda or publicity and not that of 'education'.
Mass Media

Mass media are generally less effective in changing human behavior than individual or group methods, because communication here is essentially one way. Nevertheless, they do have a very important role because :


They reach large number of people with whom there is no contact.
They are available rapidly and with speed.
They contribute to raising the general knowledge in the local community (e.g. by means of posters) For effective health education, mass should preferably not be used alone but in combination, with other methods.
Rapid and speedy
