Author Description

Each day, we are bombarded with news, entertainment, and advertisements through the media. While many generations in history have been exposed to different types of media, none of them compared to the size or scale of modern media and modern audiences. Media psychologists study the influence of everything from radio to social media, helping to better understand how people react to technology, information, and communications. These psychologists may have a variety of different career roles: they may work for a business to improve sales, or they may work for the government agency that regulates these businesses and determines what they may or may not broadcast.
