It has evolved considerably, and is driven by humanity’s insatiable hunger for information.

newspapers, and magazines. These are prevalent in most parts of the world today despite the
increasing popularity of Internet-based media.
8. • Broadcast media evolved in leaps and bounds in the 20th century. These
types do not rely on the production and distribution of physical copies as
much as print media does because they distribute their messages “over
the air”.

color movies, especially with the advent of digital cinema. This form of media originally recorded
images onto the celluloid strips that give it its name.

common. Note that some time after their run in theaters, films may also be re-shown on
television.
