# Types of Media There are three main types of news media: print media, broadcast media, and new media. ## A. Print Media * These include newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, and other printed materials. * The New York Times is considered the newspaper of record because of its history of excellence and influence. ## B. Broadcast Media * Broadcast media involves news reports delivered via radio and television. * Television news is essential in every country, with most people receiving their news from television broadcasts more than any other source. * News broadcasting encompasses various news events and information disseminated through television, radio, or the internet. * Radio is another type of broadcast media. Before television became dominant in the 1950s, radio was the primary source of news for many Americans. * Talk radio has become a major force, characterized by hosts mixing interviews with political commentary. ## C. The New Media * The internet has become increasingly popular, efficiently addressing modern needs. * While Americans still access traditional media outlets like NBC and CNN, they also increasingly use online news sources like weblogs for easier information access. * Websites transmit information in various forms, including text, audio, and video, mirroring traditional media distribution methods. * Modern web technology allows for personalized news tailoring using tools like personalized web portals, newsgroups, podcasts, and RSS feeds. * Weblogs (blogs) have considerable influence, with thousands of users commenting and responding to blog posts on diverse topics. * Film is a series of images that create the illusion of moving images when displayed on screen, also known as the phi phenomenon. * Video games and digital games refer to interactive games played on specialized electronic devices, including computers and mobile devices, controlled with the ability to manipulate graphic images displayed on screens. ## D. Media Convergence * Traditional and new media coexist. * Print, broadcast (radio and television), internet, and mobile phones (and others) allow media content to flow across various platforms. * Media convergence facilitates the transformation of various media types into digital code, accessible on diverse devices, from personal computers to mobile phones, creating a digital communication environment. **Specific Examples of Media Convergence**: | Platform | Specific Example | |---|---| | Social Network | Facebook, Instagram | | Learning Management System | Google Classroom, Edmodo | | Product Advertisement | Digitized print ads displayed across multiple platforms | | News | A newspaper with both print and online portal | | Multimedia Personality | A television show host who also publishes books and/or produces music | **Activity 3**: Choose a current news event that's impacting print, broadcast, and online news outlets. Analyze how different news platforms present the news. You can use extra paper or a PowerPoint for the analysis.
