You're missing the point here: mass media is just that, media for the masses;
whereas poetry is the opposite: one person speaking to one person. Do this:
sit through the credits at the end of your favorite movie--then imagine this:
that at the end of the movie there's only one name. That's the difference.

Best wishes,
Joseph
