Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational.

But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve ethnic groups and those communicating in foreign languages.

In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings. In some areas, one company controls much of the media.
One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs include sales messages. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.
Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.
Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.

Answer 1

美国人可以从公共电视和收音机那里得到一点新闻和娱乐信息。这些公共媒体从市民，组织，政府哪里收钱来运营的，不少的频道都是有教育性质的。
但是大部分美国媒体都是公司运营来牟利的，这些私有的媒体在这近几年内发生了巨大的变化。不少报纸，杂志和传统的广播电视公司都不在流行了。与此同时，网上的，有线的和卫星传播的媒体数量大量地增长和不断壮大。
一般来说，更多的媒体如今比以往任何时候去提供新闻和娱乐消息了。与此同时，更少的媒体拥有者能掌控它们。但大的公司仍持有许多很多股份，在一些地区，一个公司掌控了许多媒体。
另一个在美国媒体的戏剧化的变化是有线电视的不断成功。大部分的家庭都开始覆盖了电缆，而像广播电视那样不用公共的电波。虽然人们在家看电视都得交钱，但如同广播电视那样，大多有线电视真的都有售卖广告，
三十年前，几乎没人拥有有线电视。今天，大约百分之68的美国家庭有了有线电视。卫星电视也赢得了不少欢迎。这么多年来，传统的广播电视机构都在尽可能地去吸引更多的观看者。
