What is it
Print Media
This type of news media used to be the only way of delivering information to the
public. For the generations of the 80s and 90s, print media was the only media of entertain.
People relied on newspapers and magazines to learn everything, from recipes and
entertainment news to important information about the country or the world. Print media
includes:
a) Newspapers – printed and distributed on a daily or weekly basis. They
include news related to sports, politics, technology, science, local news,
national news, international news, birth notices, as well as entertainment
news related to fashion, celebrities, and movies. Today’s parents grew up
with this type of printed media.
b) Magazines – printed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. It
contains information about finance, food, lifestyle, fashion, sports, etc.

c) Books – focused on a particular topic or subject, giving the reader a chance to
spread their knowledge about their favorite topic.
d) Banners – used to advertise a company’s services and products, hung on
easily-noticed sights to attract people’s attention.
e) Billboards – huge advertisements created with the help of computers. Their
goal is to attract people passing by.
f) Brochures – a type of booklet that includes everything about one company – its
products, services, terms and conditions, contact details, address, etc. They are either
distributed with the newspapers, or hand over to people.
e) Flyers – used mostly by small companies due to the low cost of advertising.
They contain the basic information about a company, their name, logo, service or product,
and contact information, and they are distributed in public areas.
Broadcasting Media
Broadcasting media includes videos, audios, or written content that provides
important or entertaining information shared by different methods:
a) Television – in the past, there were a few channels sharing various types of
content, whereas now we have hundreds of TV channels to choose from. Each
channel delivers a different type of content, so you have a separate channel for
news, drama, movies, sports, animation, nature, travel, politics, cartoon, and
religion. It’s the number one broadcasting media due to its reach to the
audience.
b) Radio – uses radio waves to transmit entertaining, informative, and educative
content to the public. Due to its high reach to the audience, radio is widely used
for advertising products and services. Radio is one of the oldest means of
entertainment, and today people often hear it to find out the weather and traffic
while commuting.
c) Movies – film, motion picture, screenplay, moving picture, or movie has world-
wide reachability. It’s the best type of mass media to promote cultures and
spread social awareness. Movies have always played a huge part in the
entertainment world.
Internet Media
Nowadays, we are relying on the Internet to get the news a lot more often than the
traditional news sources. Websites provide information in the form of video, text, and audio.
We can even choose the way we want to receive the news. Types of Internet media
include:
•
a) Social networks or websites – including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube,
b) Tumblr, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Quora, Reddit, Pinterest, etc. They are user-
friendly and widely used by people around the world. Although we can find any
news here, they may be misleading because of the lack of regulations on the
content shared.
c) Online forums - an online place where we can comment, message, or discuss a
particular topic. Forums allow us to share knowledge with other people with the
same interest. That’s why it’s regarded as the best platform to seek support and
assistance.
d) Podcast – a series of audios focused on a particular topic or theme. We can listen
to them on a computer or a mobile phone. It’s a platform that allows anyone to
share their knowledge and communicate with the world.
