It marks and shapes some social formations and phenomena, such as the information society, information technology, information revolution, information literacy.

The definition of information in the media is not semantic in nature, it is an ongoing process, a process that shapes. The media is a key issue as information becomes the main concept of media content. While private companies created using the information knowledge becomes private, on the other hand, in the media, there is an effort that the knowledge-based information is a public good.
