Maybe because it's been around the longest, but I believe newspapers are the best at informing. Sure, television and the internet are faster, but when it comes to getting the facts straight, the paper is mightier than the .com. The argument is that newspapers tend to be more biased, but I think it's the other way around. If you just want your facts, your best bet is a newspaper.
The internet is the most entertaining form of mass media, there is literally nothing you can't find on it. You can keep in touch with family and friends, watch television shows and movies, buy products and have them shipped anywhere, or even watch others play video games! The future is bright for the world wide web, and while it's kind of scary, it's really exciting at the same time!
Television is probably the most persuading, having an opinion constantly thrown out for a half hour or more will eventually take its toll on the viewer. Advertising and product placements subliminally create an idea about what is suitable and what is not. The things allowed on television are only going to get more and more risque and inappropriate, and the opinions created are going to become even more difficult to dissuade, which is exactly what the advertising and television companies want to happen.
