Summary/Abstract: Everyday life is what each of us has direct contact with. It is something we see, something we say, something we feel or touch, or something which happens to us. It is something we have direct contact with, and therefore something we rarely doubt. It is something we call ”reality”. But what happens with that part of reality which we have no direct access to? How can we differentiate between objective and subjective in media products? What is the influence of public communication on our perception of everyday life?

In oder words, a great part of what we call reality is a social construction of the mass-media
