2. INTRODUCTION
 What is MEDIA?
The term media is derived from the word ’MEDIUM’ , which means carrier or mode.
Media denotes an item specifically designed to reach a large audience.
In the world of today ,media has become almost as necessary as food and clothing are.
During the past few decades media is evolved from being a piece of paper to an
industry that can, at its best spread some good useful information among people or
even topple governments.
Media plays an important role in every society.
