Types of Media

A. The term 'news media' refers to the groups that communicate information and news to people. There are three main types of news media: print media, broadcast media, and the Internet. They spread information to a huge audience, help public education and influence people's minds.

B. Print Media. The oldest media forms are newspapers, magazines, journals, and other printed materials. Although print media are less popular today than they used to be 10 - 20 years ago, many people still read a newspaper every day or a newsmagazine on a regular basis. The influence of print media is therefore significant. Regular readers of print media are usually more politically active.

C. Broadcast Media (радио- и телевещание). Broadcast media are news reports broadcast via radio and television. Television news is hugely important in most countries because more people get their news from television broadcasts than from any other source. But many news reports on television repeat news that first appeared in newspapers.

D. Before the invention of television in the 1950s, most people relied on the radio for their news. Many people still listen to radio news every day, especially in big cities when they drive to work and back home. Local news stations have a particularly large audience because they can report on local weather, traffic, and events.

E. The Internet. The Internet has transformed the news media because more and more people are relying on online sources of news instead of traditional print and broadcast media. People surf the sites of traditional media, and also turn to unique online news sources such as weblogs. Websites can provide text, audio, and video information.
