From a political perspective, the media has an immense potential of influencing and even shaping the political system of a particular region or country. The various effects of the media are attributed to the fact that it has a capability of reaching at a large number of people at any given time. The media effects can also reach many people with a strong and significant message (Marshall & Quentin, 1964).
