mass media

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'papers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'after service i made fake' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'service' becomes 'mass' (kind of church service).
'fake' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'made'='imade'
'imade' anagrammed gives 'media'.
'mass' put next to 'media' is 'MASS MEDIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mass media that I've seen before include "Agencies of public information" , "Communicators" , "Papers, TV, radio, etc" , "Reporters etc" , "Press, TV, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
