Research: Media Forms

What are media forms?

Today, there are 3 main types of news media which are print media, broadcast media, and the Internet.

Print Media:

The oldest media forms are newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, and other printed material. These publications are collectively known as the print media. Although print media readership has declined in the last few decades. The influence of print media is therefore significant.

Examples of different types of newspapers.

Broadcast Media:

Broadcast media are news reports broadcast via radio and television. Television news is hugely popular today in most countries.

BBC News are an example of a broadcast media company

Internet:

Then along came the internet. Early websites were largely textual in nature with a few photographs for illustration purposes. Over time, websites have evolved into platforms capable of organising and displaying all other forms of media e.g. books and newspapers which is more easier to get to and to look at.
