Types of Media

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. 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. Many news reports on television, for example, are merely follow-up stories about news that first appeared in newspapers. 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.

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 during morning and evening commutes (ездить на работу и с работы) in big cities. Local news stations have a particularly large audience because they can report on local weather, traffic, and events. The Internet The Internet is slowly transforming 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 more traditional media, but also turn to unique online news sources such as weblogs. Websites can provide text, audio, and video information.
