The term media, which is the plural of medium, refers to the communication channels through which we disseminate news, music, movies, education, promotional messages and other data. It includes physical and online newspapers and magazines, television, radio, billboards, telephone, the Internet, fax and billboards.


It describes the various ways through which we communicate in society. Because it refers to all means of communication, everything ranging from a telephone call to the evening news on television can be called media.


When talking about reaching a very large number of people we say mass media. Local media refers to, for example, your local newspaper, or local/regional TV/radio channels


Different types of media


Media can be broken down into two main categories: broadcast and print. The Internet has also emerged as a major player, as a rapidly-growing number of people globally get their news, movies, etc. online.


Print Media includes all types of publications, including newspapers, journals, magazines, books and reports. It is the oldest type, and despite suffering since the emergence of the Internet, is still used by a major proportion of the population.


Broadcast Media refers to radio and TV, which came onto the scene at the beginning and middle of the 20th century respectively. Most people still get their news from TV and radio broadcasts – however, experts predict that it will not be long before online sources take over.

Multimedia is a form of communication that combines different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, or video into a single interactive presentation, in contrast to traditional mass media which featured little to no interaction from users, such as printed material or audio recordings. Popular examples of multimedia include video podcasts, audio slideshows and Animated videos.


Multimedia can be recorded for playback on computers, laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices, either on demand or in real time (streaming). In the early years of multimedia, the term "rich media" was synonymous with interactive multimedia. Over time, hypermedia extensions brought multimedia to the World Wide Web.


5 Basic Types Of Multimedia


  • Text
         -    Text is seen as probably one of the most frequently combined mediums in the colorful world of multimedia. It started as a written message you wanted to send across to readers and has been one of the key forms of communication in the world for ages. In multimedia, it is usually combined with photographs and video presentations to augment these other forms of communication and give a detailed description of them.    

  • Audio Files
             -Audio files are a collection of sounds that can be added and combined with all other types of media in a multitude of ways. First, audio files can function as musical backgrounds to images and photographs, and even texts. Also, many cameras that are primarily seen as technology in charge of creating video material and pictures are equipped with sound recorders to complement the video material and imagery. Audio files don’t take up much space and are easily transmitted across the web and local

  • Images and Photographs
         -    Images and visual representations are probably one of the oldest forms of media that date back to prehistory and the time of cave drawings. With the advent of civilization and technology, images have first been combined with texts and printed in books and newspapers, and are now seen in all forms of media. Icons or small photographs and pictures enhance written documents and give them a unique edge and a powerful visual element.

  • Video Material
         -    Another essential type of multimedia comes in the form of video presentation and material. Video is a collection of moving pictures combined with audio files that provides one of the most intensive multimedia experiences out there. Videos also include written texts, which means that video material often combines more than two different types of media. 

  • Animation
    -    We can say that the place where images and photographs meet video material is where animation begins. One of the most frequent types of animation seen on the web today are GIFs, otherwise known as graphic image files that are in fact a simple collection of images that rapidly change, giving the illusion of motion. These files are small, compact, and easily transferable, which is one of the reasons why they dominate the world of the Internet today.
