This document compares radio and television (TV) as forms of electronic media (e-media). Both radio and TV transmit signals using electromagnetic airwaves and can use satellites globally. They are also similar in production techniques, using sound studios and effects. However, TV goes further than radio by transmitting images as well as sound. While radio relies solely on sound, TV communicates through both visual and audio channels. Both radio and TV remain widely used e-media.
confines of educational technology
Technology is a valuable tool for educators but cannot replace traditional teaching methods or the experience of working with real objects. Media refers to the storage and transmission of information and has evolved over five epochs - from ideographic drawing, to alphabetic writing, printing, electronic recording and broadcasting, and now computer communication and digital media. Broadcasting has been an important tool for political leaders to address large audiences and governments have commonly regulated it due to limited spectrum availability.

Sociology of the mass media: Media forms, ownership and control
Media ownership in the UK is highly concentrated, with 13 major companies dominating the industry. 10 of these companies are owned by wealthy individuals rather than shareholders or trusts. There has been an increasing trend of concentration of ownership over time. Media giants employ strategies like vertical and horizontal integration, convergence across different technologies, global conglomeration, and branding to expand their control over various sectors of the media industry.
Key Words-Media
Media sectors include organizations that produce, publish, and distribute media texts across various formats like television, radio, film and interactive media. Media platforms provide digitized delivery of video, audio and data to networks like cable, broadcast and broadband. Media products are digital devices and services used for media consumption, including phones, tablets and computers.

Workshopvin5 Sociability
This document discusses sociability in the context of interactive television. It begins by discussing how television plays a central role in micro-communities like families and friends. It then examines how watching television is often a social activity involving co-viewing. The document considers whether interactive television also needs to support social uses. It identifies concerns around studying sociability, such as whether interactions are co-located or remote. The document proposes creating guidelines for interactive television to support social uses based on a competitive analysis of applications. It outlines plans to test the validity of these guidelines and further research on sociability involving adaptive interfaces and group communication.
Media and its types
Media are communication outlets like print, broadcasting, and digital channels used to deliver information. Print media includes newspapers, magazines, books, and brochures which provide news and stories. Electronic media comprises television, cinema, radio, and the internet which broadcast audiovisual content and webpages. Mobile phones allow wireless communication through cellular networks. Advertisements use various media channels to promote products and influence consumer behavior, especially impacting youth. Banning cigarette ads could help reduce smoking initiation among young people impressionable by attractive televised promotions.
We all need mobile phone
The document discusses the uses and importance of mobile phones. It describes how mobile phones have become essential communication and cultural devices that are nearly ubiquitous globally. It also outlines some of the common applications of mobile phones like text messaging, multimedia messaging, mobile internet, and mobile commerce. Mobile phones are argued to be very useful tools that facilitate communication, provide information access, and allow people to stay connected with friends and family.
Media convergence
This document discusses the concept of media convergence. It provides several definitions of convergence, including the coming together of previously separate industries like computing, printing, film and audio due to technological developments and mergers between companies. Convergence is described as the flow of content across multiple media platforms, cooperation between industries, and how audiences will access content from different sources. The document also discusses different types of convergence including technological, economic, cultural, organic, and global convergence. It notes some advantages and disadvantages of convergence for both media industries and audiences.
Radio
Radio was invented in the late 19th century through the work of many scientists and inventors. Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio signal in 1895, building on earlier work developing wireless telegraphy in the 1850s and 1880s. Radio was developed further in the early 1900s as a way to transmit voice and music signals using new vacuum tube technology that allowed signals to be modulated for communication purposes.
T.V, Radio and emedia are supported of each other.
The document discusses how television, radio, and electronic media support each other. It defines each medium, with television being used for transmitting moving audiovisual content, radio using radio waves to transmit sound, and electronic media including digital formats like the internet and CDs. The document argues that while electronic media can reach people through personal devices, television and radio are better for broadcasting to large populations both literate and illiterate. It concludes that none of these media are outdated as they each have their own uses depending on context, and they all support one another.
Going Digital in the UK
The document summarizes key findings from Ofcom's 2nd Annual International Communications Report regarding digital communications in the UK. Some of the main points are:
1) The UK has the highest take-up of digital television and broadband connectivity among 12 countries surveyed, putting it slightly ahead of the US for broadband adoption.
2) UK adults spend more time on social networking sites than their European neighbors and advertisers in the UK spend more per person on internet advertising than any other country.
3) Mobile phones are driving most communications sector growth, accounting for 53% of total telecom revenues, and are increasingly used for functions beyond calls like photos, videos, and internet access.
Types of-media
Mass media refers to communication mediums that transmit messages to a large audience, including print, broadcast, and digital media. Print media includes books, newspapers and magazines, which have existed for thousands of years but became more widespread and accessible due to inventions like paper mills, the printing press, and movable type. Broadcast media transmits audio and video messages through radio waves and includes television and radio. Both print and broadcast media serve important functions like informing the public and providing entertainment, though commercialization and advertising are also major aspects, especially for television and radio. Key inventors who helped advance these media include Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press, and Thomas Edison, who developed early technologies for recorded sound and film.
Types of Media
This document defines and describes different types of media. It discusses conventional media, such as print media like newspapers and books, television, movies, video games, music, mobile phones, and software. Conventional media refers to forms of mass communication that existed before digital media.

As G322 Key Media Concepts Exam
Film Four is a British film studio owned by Channel 4. It relies on partnerships with other companies for production and American studios for international distribution. As its films target Western audiences, they have smaller budgets and audiences than major American films. Film Four uses its digital TV channel to exhibit films to promote new releases and generate audiences. Shorter windows between theatrical and home release, and internet piracy, reduce revenue, especially for smaller British films. However, new technologies also provide low-cost marketing through social media and websites to build wide awareness. Film Four has successfully promoted films through these online methods and international star power.

This document discusses the theory of mass society or mass culture, which argues that modern society has led to a loss of traditional communities and moral structures. It is proposed that popular culture now fills this void, but is seen as "fake" or "surrogate" by this theory. The theory criticizes popular culture and media studies, seeing them as less authentic and valuable than "high culture" forms like classical art and literature. The document aims to explain this influential theory and argue that media studies takes a different approach by examining popular culture objectively rather than making value judgments.

It defines collective identity as an individual's sense of belonging to a group and part of personal identity. Media can both construct and reflect collective identities through representations of social groups. Examples are given of representations of youth in news, fiction, and on social media like Facebook. Theories from cultural critics like Jenkins and Gauntlett are referenced for understanding how audiences interpret and construct their own identities through engaging with different media. Advice is provided on selecting examples, making arguments, and using theory for exam answers.

Social TV, Forecasting and Innovation
Why didn’t we foresee the rise of social TV?
Social TV is the biggest change in television since it was invented.
Audiences are increasingly engaging with television via second screens (laptops, mobiles and tablets) and connected TV systems. This transforms medium and industry and gives social networks key commercial roles in the TV business.
The rise of social TV raises a crucial issue for our understanding of forecasting and innovation:
Why did we not foresee this major development in television?
The Futurescape presentation Social TV, Forecasting and Innovation reveals how 1995 predictions about the future of TV missed social TV and proposes how such blind spots in forecasting can be remedied.
The presentation covers

Mrsa infectionnhschoices
MRSA is a type of bacterial infection that is resistant to many antibiotics, making it harder to treat than other bacterial infections. It is commonly spread through direct contact with infected individuals or surfaces they have touched. Healthcare settings pose a high risk of MRSA infection due to patients having wounds or medical devices that bacteria can enter and being surrounded by many other at-risk individuals. Symptoms range from minor skin infections to life-threatening invasive infections. Treatment involves antibiotics, though the specific type depends on the strain of MRSA. Preventive measures include hand washing, isolating infected patients, and screening high-risk individuals before medical procedures.
