TYPES OF MEDIA
Accessing information becomes very much convenient in today’s time due to
information sources that surround us. Information sources refer to various means
by which information is recorded for use by an individual and organization. The
commonly known types of media are print, broadcast and new media.
Print media is consist of paper and ink, reproduced in a printing process that is
traditionally mechanical.
In an article published by ZeePedia.com titled “Types of Print Media: Newspapers,
Magazines, Books” discussed the following.
“The first hundred years was the time when the print industry tried to comprehend
the new situation and shaped itself into a regular and formal sector but from the
start of the 19th century, print media in most countries started specializing in certain
areas. Since business in the form of advertisements in the print was also flourishing,
the media enjoyed a great deal of financial comfort and provided jobs to tens of
thousands of people across the globe. The publishing industry, a synonym with print
media, could be classified in general terms into three distinct categories: Newspapers,
Magazines, Books.
Newspapers. It took about 150 years from the invention of printing press in the
middle of 15th century that the world witnessed first regular publication which could
be defined as a newspaper. Although there have been claims by many to be decorated
as first newspaper like Mixed News in China in 710, Notizie Scritte, a monthly
newspaper for which readers pay a "gazetta", or small coin by Venetian government
in 1556 etc, the World Association of Newspapers held "Relation", as the first
newspaper published in France in 1605. By this reckoning the newspapers' history
is 400 years old. The Relation followed a list of news papers from all around the world.
Here is a brief account of some popular papers:
1621 ---- In London, the newspaper Courante is published.
1631 ---- The Gazette, the first French newspaper, is founded.
1639 ---- First American colonial printing press.
1645 ---- World's oldest newspaper still in circulation,
1690 ---- Public Occurrences is the first newspaper published in America when it
appears in Boston.
What is It
13. 7
1844 ---- Telegraph is invented.
Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord North cliffe) develops the first tabloid newspaper, the
Daily Mirror,in London.
Contents General-interest newspapers are usually journals of current news. Those
can include :Political events, Crime, Business, Culture, Sports, Opinions (either
editorials, columns, or political cartoons)Newspapers use photographs to illustrate
stories; they use editorial cartoonists, usually to illustrate writing that is opinion,
rather than news. Some specific features a newspaper may include are: weather news
and forecasts an advice column, critical reviews of movies, plays, restaurants, etc.
Magazine. A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles,
generally financed by advertising, purchased by readers, or both. Magazines are
typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with a date
on the cover that is later than the date it is actually published. They are often printed
in colour on coated paper,and are bound with a soft cover.
Types of magazines:
Art magazines
Business magazines
Computer magazines
Health and fitness magazines
History magazines
Humor magazines
Inspirational magazines
Men's magazines
Women's magazines
Luxury magazines
News magazines
Online magazines
Pulp magazines
Pornographic magazines
Regional magazines
Satirical magazines
Teen magazines
Consumer magazines
All magazines have some elements in common, even if they are a listings magazine
or a simple advertising vehicle. The main features of content in magazines mainly
consist of the cover page features, reviews, problem pages, interviews,
advertisements, competitions and some form of gossip. Other common elements are;
advice columns, campaigns, do it yourself features, in our next issues, makeovers,
letters' page,opinion columns, and contents pages. The main features of presentation
of magazines are the cover pages, the layout and the design photographs and
illustrations use of colour, an insight of the actual magazine and visual narrative.
The better the visual narrative of the magazine, the more it will appeal to its specific
audience.
A book is a collection of paper, parchment or other material with a piece of text
written on them, bound together along one edge, usually within covers. Each side of
a sheet is called a page and a single sheet within a book may be called a leaf. A book
is also a literary work or a main division of such a work Books became part of the
mass media after the printing process was invented. Now they are in the reach of
almost everyone and could cover any distance on the planet. Their topics are varied
and their value could be judged from the fact that most libraries in the world are due

to books rather than other published material. When writing systems were invented
in ancient civilizations, nearly everything that could be written upon--stone, clay,
tree bark, metal sheets--was used for writing. Alphabetic writing emerged in Egypt
around 1800BC.”
Furthermore, information are also disseminated through broadcast and new media.
Broadcast media refer to media such as radio and television that reach target
audiences using airwaves as the transmission medium.
BBA/MANTRA 2019, published an article titled “Media- Types of Media,
Characteristics, Advantages & Disadvantages” that discussed the following.
Television. The principal source of information and entertainment for people
exposed to mass media. It is believed to be the most authoritative, influential, exciting
medium for reaching very large audience. It combines visual images, sound, motion
and colour to achieve viewer’s empathy. It allows development of creative and
imaginative ad messages in a unique way. It is considered intrusive in nature as the
audience have no control over the nature and pace of advertisement.
Radio. Is a premier mass medium for users and advertisers. It has a wide spread
reach and delivers the ad message to a large number of people across the length and
breadth of a country. Commercial broadcasting is undertaken in major cities even
rural areas.
It is one of the personal medium and offers selectivity, cost efficiency and flexibility
advantages over other media. Efficiency of radio ad depends upon the precision of
script, accompanying sounds and level of distortion.
New media are content-organized and distributed in digital platforms (e.g. Social
media). Another concept that arises with accessing information is the transformation
of various media into a digital code known as media convergence.
Cinema and Video advertising. Cinema is a popular source of entertainment
comprising of audience from all classes and socio - economic groups of society. Films
are watched by a significant number of people everyday. It involves use of cinema
halls and video tapes to deliver the ad message. Similar to TV, it also combines sight,
sound, colour and movement to deliver a creative message.
Internet. A worldwide medium that provides means of exchanging information
through a series of interconnected computers. It is a rapidly growing medium which
offers limitless advertising opportunities. It involves use of world wide web to
showcase a website or e-commerce portal to the world. It provides a sophisticated
graphic user interface to users and is accessible to anyone with a computer and
broadband connection.”
15. 9
With the existence of various media platforms, information becomes readily
accessible to everyone. In today’s time, bringing together the old and new form of
media is becoming a trend which refers to media convergence.
Media convergence is the co-existence of traditional and new media; the co-
existence of print media, broadcast media, the Internet, mobile phones, a well as
others, allowing media content to flow across various platforms creating a digital
communication environment.
Information may be presented in variety of formats. They may appear in print,
broadcast, new as well as through media convergence. Each media type has its own
characteristics as to how information is presented. Developing literacy in the use of
media and information will be of great benefit in determining the reliability, accuracy,
value, authority of the author and timeliness of the information
