Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The lesson introduces three major categories of media: print media, broadcast media, and new media. Print media is divided into text media, which conveys ideas through written words, and visual media, which uses images to communicate visually. Typography is key for text media, affecting readability and meaning, while graphic design is crucial for visual media to organize information creatively.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:14:08

    Broadcast media transmits information via airwaves, including radio and television, involving audio media (appealing to hearing) and multimedia (integrating multiple media types). New media integrates various technologies on digital platforms, like podcasts, websites, and virtual/augmented reality. Media convergence merges different media forms through digitization, illustrated by multifunctional devices like smartphones. Examples include social networking sites, learning management systems, digital advertising, and multimedia celebrities diversifying their platforms.

  • 00:00:18
    good day everyone welcome back to media
  • 00:00:20
    and information literacy for our third
  • 00:00:23
    lesson we will be talking about the
  • 00:00:24
    different types of media so for today's
  • 00:00:27
    discussion we will cover the three
  • 00:00:29
    different categories or types of media
  • 00:00:32
    print media broadcast media and what we
  • 00:00:35
    call the new media you will also be
  • 00:00:37
    talking about media convergence towards
  • 00:00:40
    the end of this lesson let's try to
  • 00:00:42
    recall first again what is media how did
  • 00:00:44
    we describe or define media in the
  • 00:00:46
    previous lessons media is simply
  • 00:00:49
    described as the channels or ways in
  • 00:00:51
    which we transmit or communicate
  • 00:00:54
    messages so basically these are what we
  • 00:00:57
    refer to as communication tools as i
  • 00:01:00
    have mentioned there are three major
  • 00:01:02
    kinds or types or categories of media
  • 00:01:06
    there is print media the second one is
  • 00:01:09
    broadcast media and the third one is
  • 00:01:12
    what we refer to as new media let us
  • 00:01:14
    first discuss what print media is it is
  • 00:01:17
    described as simply a kind of media or a
  • 00:01:20
    category of media that is consisting of
  • 00:01:23
    paper and ink more often than not this
  • 00:01:26
    type of media is reproduced in a
  • 00:01:28
    printing process that is traditionally
  • 00:01:31
    mechanical in nature there are two major
  • 00:01:34
    kinds of print media the first one is
  • 00:01:36
    what we refer to as text media the
  • 00:01:39
    second one is what we call visual media
  • 00:01:43
    text media is simply described or
  • 00:01:45
    defined as a very simple and flexible
  • 00:01:48
    format for conveying ideas whether it's
  • 00:01:51
    handwritten or printed simply put these
  • 00:01:54
    are words phrases and sentences that are
  • 00:01:58
    transformed into handwritten or printed
  • 00:02:01
    format on the other hand visual media is
  • 00:02:03
    described as pictures photos images and
  • 00:02:07
    graphics that are used to channel
  • 00:02:10
    communication using the sense of sight
  • 00:02:13
    so it is a kind of print media that
  • 00:02:15
    appeals to our sense of sight or to our
  • 00:02:19
    vision examples of printed text media
  • 00:02:22
    include the books that you read for
  • 00:02:25
    school books that you read for leisure
  • 00:02:27
    handwritten imprinted letters or
  • 00:02:30
    correspondence and of course we have the
  • 00:02:34
    newspapers one key feature of print
  • 00:02:37
    media is typography it is what sets it
  • 00:02:40
    apart from the other kind of print media
  • 00:02:42
    so what is stereography basically this
  • 00:02:45
    term refers to the art and technique of
  • 00:02:48
    arranging the visual component of the
  • 00:02:51
    written word now you are probably
  • 00:02:53
    wondering what is the visual component
  • 00:02:55
    of the written word basically you would
  • 00:02:57
    notice that whenever you write words are
  • 00:03:00
    composed of letters and those letters
  • 00:03:02
    are simply composed of lines so those
  • 00:03:06
    lines are the visual component now these
  • 00:03:10
    lines forming letters forming words and
  • 00:03:13
    forming sentences even could be
  • 00:03:16
    illustrated differently typography also
  • 00:03:19
    features textual designs with optical
  • 00:03:22
    illusions that helps improve the
  • 00:03:24
    readability of the text and also aids in
  • 00:03:27
    conveying the meaning of the printed
  • 00:03:30
    text media moving on here are some
  • 00:03:32
    examples of printed visual media so take
  • 00:03:36
    for example the illustrations web
  • 00:03:38
    illustrations that you could see or
  • 00:03:40
    editorial cartoons that you can see from
  • 00:03:42
    the newspaper or in magazines or online
  • 00:03:46
    and online platforms another example of
  • 00:03:49
    printed visual media are billboard
  • 00:03:51
    magazine covers and photographs could
  • 00:03:54
    also be considered as printed visual
  • 00:03:57
    media similarly infographics are also
  • 00:04:00
    considered as an example of a printed
  • 00:04:02
    visual media the most important feature
  • 00:04:05
    or key aspect of a printed visual media
  • 00:04:09
    is its graphic design what is graphic
  • 00:04:12
    design exactly it is a term that we use
  • 00:04:15
    to refer to the process of visual
  • 00:04:17
    communication communicating via vision
  • 00:04:21
    or via the sense of sign now this
  • 00:04:25
    process is the one responsible for
  • 00:04:28
    organizing and presenting information
  • 00:04:31
    creatively for a particular purpose
  • 00:04:34
    graphic design could titillate the mind
  • 00:04:36
    could entertain people
  • 00:04:38
    could inform persuade argue a particular
  • 00:04:42
    issue inspire others and so on and so on
  • 00:04:45
    but perhaps the most important thing
  • 00:04:47
    that you have to remember when using
  • 00:04:49
    graphic design is that it should be
  • 00:04:52
    aligned with intention or with your
  • 00:04:54
    intended message
  • 00:04:56
    another type of media is broadcast media
  • 00:05:00
    broadcast media is simply the kind of
  • 00:05:03
    media that reaches target audiences
  • 00:05:06
    using airwaves as the transmission
  • 00:05:09
    medium so basically when we say
  • 00:05:11
    broadcast media we often attribute it to
  • 00:05:15
    radio and television and that is
  • 00:05:17
    actually correct here are some kinds of
  • 00:05:19
    broadcast media we have the audio media
  • 00:05:22
    and multi multi-media audio media is
  • 00:05:24
    simply described as a kind of broadcast
  • 00:05:27
    media that uses audio or voice recording
  • 00:05:31
    as a medium in the delivery of
  • 00:05:33
    information to appeal to the auditory
  • 00:05:36
    sense if a while ago printed visual
  • 00:05:39
    media appeals to the sense of sight
  • 00:05:43
    broadcast audio media on the other hand
  • 00:05:45
    appeals to your sense of hearing simply
  • 00:05:48
    put it is something that you hear or
  • 00:05:51
    listen to broadcasted multimedia on the
  • 00:05:54
    other hand is more concerned with
  • 00:05:56
    computer-controlled integration of
  • 00:05:58
    different media types where every
  • 00:06:01
    information can be stored communicated
  • 00:06:04
    and handled digitally so in multimedia
  • 00:06:07
    that's why it's called multimedia in the
  • 00:06:09
    first place because there are multiple
  • 00:06:11
    kinds or multiple types of media being
  • 00:06:14
    used so it could be visual it could be
  • 00:06:17
    printed it could be audio and the others
  • 00:06:20
    that could be combined to create one
  • 00:06:23
    media product here are some examples of
  • 00:06:26
    broadcast media of course you have the
  • 00:06:28
    radio a voice or audio recorder and then
  • 00:06:33
    the television the third and last type
  • 00:06:35
    of media is what we refer to as new
  • 00:06:40
    media this is the term that we use to
  • 00:06:42
    integrate the different technologies
  • 00:06:45
    emerging on one digital platform to
  • 00:06:48
    organize and distribute content new
  • 00:06:51
    media entail the use of different
  • 00:06:54
    technologies particularly computers the
  • 00:06:58
    internet and so on and so forth in order
  • 00:07:01
    to communicate messages to listeners or
  • 00:07:04
    to viewers or to media consumers you
  • 00:07:07
    probably have already encountered
  • 00:07:09
    several examples of new media for one
  • 00:07:12
    there is already a growing number of
  • 00:07:14
    podcasts available so basically these
  • 00:07:17
    are audio recordings of different people
  • 00:07:20
    talking about different subjects or a
  • 00:07:23
    variety of subjects giving out different
  • 00:07:26
    kinds of information to whoever wants to
  • 00:07:29
    listen to them another example of new
  • 00:07:32
    media are websites that serve as a
  • 00:07:35
    repository for huge and vast amounts of
  • 00:07:38
    information so for example we have wikis
  • 00:07:41
    or even blog sites we also have
  • 00:07:44
    augmented reality as another example and
  • 00:07:47
    multiplayer online games if you would
  • 00:07:49
    remember as well just a few months ago
  • 00:07:52
    mark zuckerberg also introduced us to
  • 00:07:54
    the concept of metaverse or basically
  • 00:07:57
    the virtual reality program or virtual
  • 00:08:00
    reality plan for facebook this virtual
  • 00:08:02
    reality environment could be the new
  • 00:08:05
    norm in the future in terms of
  • 00:08:08
    communicating and is also a good example
  • 00:08:10
    of an emerging new media because of the
  • 00:08:13
    continuous and constant developments and
  • 00:08:16
    technology and advancements in our
  • 00:08:18
    society coupled of course with the
  • 00:08:21
    dynamic nature of communication it is
  • 00:08:24
    inevitable that the different kinds of
  • 00:08:27
    media may merge
  • 00:08:29
    or converge and produce one new form of
  • 00:08:34
    media this is now what we call media
  • 00:08:37
    convergence media convergence is simply
  • 00:08:40
    defined or described as the merging of
  • 00:08:43
    different equipment and tools for
  • 00:08:46
    producing and distributing use or
  • 00:08:49
    information through digitization and
  • 00:08:52
    computer networking this phenomenon
  • 00:08:55
    allows media to be produced and
  • 00:08:57
    distributed on multiple devices as well
  • 00:09:00
    this is also what we call technological
  • 00:09:03
    convergence combination the merging of
  • 00:09:06
    technology it is important to note
  • 00:09:08
    however that media convergence only
  • 00:09:11
    occurs when communication content and
  • 00:09:15
    computing merges into one when these
  • 00:09:19
    three processes overlap one another
  • 00:09:22
    then definitely media convergence will
  • 00:09:25
    occur take this one for example you
  • 00:09:27
    would remember that back in the day when
  • 00:09:29
    you want to do something in particular
  • 00:09:31
    you only could do it using one specific
  • 00:09:34
    device so take for example if you want
  • 00:09:37
    to write you could use the typewriter if
  • 00:09:39
    you particularly want to watch movies or
  • 00:09:42
    shows enjoy shows then you could watch
  • 00:09:45
    on the television you could do it only
  • 00:09:47
    with the television when you want to
  • 00:09:49
    call someone you could only do it
  • 00:09:52
    through the telephone when you want to
  • 00:09:54
    listen to music you could only do it
  • 00:09:56
    using the radio or using a music player
  • 00:10:00
    however as time went by as we went
  • 00:10:03
    through several progressions in terms of
  • 00:10:05
    technology the functions of these
  • 00:10:08
    different devices have been put into
  • 00:10:11
    just one single device so right now we
  • 00:10:14
    have the smartphone we have tablets we
  • 00:10:17
    have laptops that could perform all of
  • 00:10:20
    these activities already one great
  • 00:10:23
    example of media conversions is of
  • 00:10:25
    course your smartphone before when you
  • 00:10:28
    have a cell phone or a cellular phone
  • 00:10:30
    you could only do texting or calling but
  • 00:10:33
    right now with your smartphones you can
  • 00:10:35
    play games you could watch shows you
  • 00:10:38
    could browse the internet you could
  • 00:10:40
    still send messages and call someone but
  • 00:10:43
    you could also still use it as your map
  • 00:10:46
    as a camera or even as an audio or
  • 00:10:49
    listening device here are some other
  • 00:10:52
    examples of media conversions in
  • 00:10:54
    different fields if we're going to look
  • 00:10:56
    at it for one in the field of
  • 00:10:58
    communication social networking sites
  • 00:11:01
    such as facebook instagram etc are
  • 00:11:03
    already considered a product of media
  • 00:11:07
    convergence because in facebook and
  • 00:11:09
    instagram you could do several other
  • 00:11:12
    things you could message other people
  • 00:11:14
    you could connect with other people you
  • 00:11:15
    could share information you could share
  • 00:11:17
    pictures you could share videos you
  • 00:11:20
    could share updates etc in the field of
  • 00:11:22
    education one example of media
  • 00:11:25
    conversions is is the rise of learning
  • 00:11:28
    management systems some specific
  • 00:11:30
    examples of lms or learning management
  • 00:11:33
    systems are moodle google classroom and
  • 00:11:36
    model etc and especially right now we
  • 00:11:40
    are engaged in online distance learning
  • 00:11:43
    learning management systems prove to be
  • 00:11:45
    very useful and relevant in the field of
  • 00:11:49
    advertising digitized print ads or
  • 00:11:52
    advertisements across different
  • 00:11:54
    platforms are examples of media
  • 00:11:57
    conversion so these print ads don't just
  • 00:12:00
    run on a single kind of media they could
  • 00:12:03
    be shown in different platforms already
  • 00:12:06
    in the field of news and reporting news
  • 00:12:08
    agencies such as cnn inquirer are
  • 00:12:11
    already forms of media convergence you
  • 00:12:14
    would probably remember that back then
  • 00:12:16
    cnn is only available through the
  • 00:12:18
    television and only if you have a cable
  • 00:12:21
    subscription however right now with
  • 00:12:24
    advent of the internet and availability
  • 00:12:27
    of social media cnn and other news
  • 00:12:30
    channels have also already created their
  • 00:12:34
    own websites even facebook accounts
  • 00:12:37
    wherein they could also regularly update
  • 00:12:40
    people without the need for these media
  • 00:12:43
    consumers to subscribe to a cable tv
  • 00:12:46
    subscription or to even own a tv same
  • 00:12:49
    with the local counterpart of cnn which
  • 00:12:52
    is inquirer last but not the least in
  • 00:12:55
    the field of entertainment multimedia
  • 00:12:57
    personalities such as oprah kanye west
  • 00:13:00
    and locally we have vice ganda could be
  • 00:13:03
    considered as people who have maximized
  • 00:13:06
    the potential of media convergence why
  • 00:13:09
    if you would notice these personalities
  • 00:13:12
    have not only stuck with one kind of
  • 00:13:15
    half with one kind of platform to reach
  • 00:13:18
    to their audience but they have also but
  • 00:13:21
    they have also channeled their talents
  • 00:13:23
    into different activities so take for
  • 00:13:26
    example right now oprah is not just
  • 00:13:28
    simply known as a television host she is
  • 00:13:32
    also a known television producer and
  • 00:13:35
    author of a book kanye west is not just
  • 00:13:38
    known right now as a rapper or a singer
  • 00:13:41
    he is also a music producer he's even
  • 00:13:44
    into fashion designing right now same
  • 00:13:46
    with vice ganda who does not only
  • 00:13:49
