In the second paragraph, the following quote should be deleted because it does not really say anything: "Connecting the world to individuals and reproducing the self-image of society,".
The criticism section needs heavy adjusting both in terms of paragraph positions, and concepts within each paragraph. I think Chomsky should be the first reference mentioned under criticism. A mini bio of Professor Gauntlett is provided at the outset of the criticism section, yet with all due respect, Gauntlett is lesser known than Chomsky. I propose adding a brief few lines about Chomsky's "filter" concepts, which is found in the Durham article. In this case, I would move this from the further reading into the references section.
The mass media and a free enterprise society section is first of all not an intuitive sub-title. It touches on how television networks need to cover their production costs, but one concept that I feel should be mentioned in this article is capitalism and it's effects on mass media content. Namely, television networks and in turn media producers must answer to advertisers. For example, a television network would not publish a scathing interview that is detrimental to the image of its advertising client. One of Chomsky's "filters" accounts for this media bias, and would be a valuable addition to media influence/effect.

Answer: There is no political leaning in the definition of democracy. The same applies here, profiling and providing cited sources on the ideas and theoretical models of media influence and media effects does not entail that that long definition is biased or has a "political lean".

Hi, I'm Stephanie
It would help if the article had references to support the facts which are provided. I've noticed that the majority of the article is based on personal opinion than citing experts. Perhaps citing references from experts to support your opinions. The article seems biased by limiting the opinion of just the writer without actually having the opinion of other experts. It is mainly to provide references from other experts, other than that the article relates to the topic which is being presented.

Social Media: There should be a section on how social media has become a game changer in terms of media and journalism. Today, anyone can be a journalist (in a sense) because of their abilities to report events and spread information about events as soon as they happen. An event such as the Arab Spring Revolution shows how influential and important social media has become so it would be an interesting topic to cover in this page titled "Media Influence". Seasaltpitachips ( talk) 22:26, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
This article is just a less-good version of the media effects article, and includes some material - such as the paragraph on the 'uses and gratifications' model (wrongly attributed to Denis McQuail) which is not actually on media influences as such anyway. Suggest delete this article and redirect to media effects. Sophie1975 00:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Whatever the problems with the article in its current state, it is plain wrong to merge it with 'Media Effects'. While 'Media Effects' traces recurring ideas about the effects (especially negative) of the media on individual behaviour, 'Media Influence' is a far more general concept of social, economic, political and historical relevance. It may take a while to develop the article, but a genuinely encyclopaedic look at 'Media Influence' would be far more informative, interesting and generally relevant than the 'Media Effects' Idea. They are not the same thing at all.
It seems like an oversimplification to merge media theory into this article, since it only covers mass media. Oicumayberight 16:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

External Links: I'm writing on behalf of the Tufts University Child and Family Webguide to ask that our website be considered for an external link on this Wikipedia page. Our website is maintained and developed by a staff of evaluators who search the web for articles and sites that contain valuable information for children and their parents regarding various medical/developmental topics. This link leads to our "TV/Media" site, which contains information on the effects that media (specifically television, video games, and the Internet) has on child development. Offers information particular on how violence in media affects children.

The introductory paragraph is very clear in painting a picture of what exactly the influence of mass media may or may not be. I think the hypodermic needle model was a clever way of simplifying the way we take in information. There is a good variety of information on the subject, from the history of mass media to how something may affect one individual person. One thing I wish the article had would be specific examples. I would suggest a small section in the article contain a few well-known examples. It would help to clarify the information further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.41.197.222 ( talk) 15:15, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
