    The Impact of Television on the Concept of Marriage among the Youth
    (2006) Maagu, Beatrice
    The media is the latest agent of socialization. As such, its pervasiveness has raised a lot of concern. The media has been variously used as a power tool by the elite in society from time immemorial. Whilst Gutenberg's invention brought the masses into the previously exclusive world of enlightenment, it did not reverse the balance of power. Whereas knowledge was officially a preserve of a few people and guarded jealously before the advent of mass media, now it is generated by a few people and sometimes with the purpose of misinformation'. It has had both negative and positive effects on society.
