Print media like newspapers, magazines, and books play an important role in education by providing rounded information on various subjects. Electronic media like television, radio, and the internet also contribute significantly to the learning process. Newspapers and magazines are useful educational tools as they cover all curriculum areas, entertain while informing, and promote literacy. The internet allows enhanced lessons, vast research opportunities, and improved communication between students and teachers. In conclusion, media has greatly impacted education by making it more engaging and accessible.

6. Media is everywhere, it has become a part
of our daily life. The media play a
dominant role in the learning process.
Media has potential to shape
personalities, change the way we perceive
and understand the world and our
immediate reality

7. Role of print media in education
Print Media in Education, is a world-wide
programme whereby newspapers and
magazines are used to promote education in
school classrooms. In most overseas
countries newspaper-in-education
programmes (NIE) dominate while
magazines play a secondary educational role.

8. Most schools lack sufficient written
resources. It is a well-known fact that
because over 90% of the education budget is
spent on salaries, very little money is left over
to supply schools with textbooks and other
written resources.
WHY USE NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES IN OUR
CLASSROOMS?

9. Newspapers and magazines are useful in promoting the new
Curriculum because:
They provide a rounded education in that they cover all the
learning areas in the curriculum and much more;
They contain news and features on politics, sport, consumer
issues, education, business, the weather, advertising,
environmental details, community issues and so on;
They entertain and inform at the same time and the activity
method which is used promotes learner participation;
They are the only "textbooks" that are completely
consumable instructional tools.
They can be cut up, marked on, separated, torn and recycled;

10. They are ideal for focusing on values
and appropriate attitudes. Their use
creates a bridge between the ‘real
world’ outside and the classroom
because they are up-to-date and link
closely with the lives of people in
the community. They offer on-going
education for life.

11. Newspapers and magazines promote literacy
Research has demonstrated that if young people and
adults are encouraged to read newspapers and
magazines, it often leads to a life-long habit of
reading all sorts of other printed material too.
Newspapers and magazines are relatively inexpensive
and are therefore particularly useful in sparking off a
passion for reading. One of our products, the
Reading Passport, is particularly useful in achieving
this. Many companies in South Africa are now
sponsoring the cost of supplying newspapers to
previously disadvantaged schools.

12. Textbooks are very expensive and in schools
where they are absent or out-of-date,
newspapers and magazines can fill the gap.
They can also be used to supplement
textbooks but are not intended to replace the
traditional textbook.
Newspapers and magazines are affordable

13. Role of electronic media in education
Television
Television has been given considerable
importance in many countries as a source and a
tool of teaching. The success stories of using
television for education in many countries has
negated the concept that television is basically
on entertainment oriented medium and it is
hostile to thoughts. Television is adaptable and
can follow different approaches when used in
the different educational situations. The
medium is used for formal, non-formal and
informal education.

14. Role of television is neither fixed nor easily tangible and measurable.
The role is directly related to the question of how the planners are
serious and determined to use television. The role could either be
enormous or, on the contrary very meager depending upon the specific
tasks and available resources. Generally television can help to achieve
the following objectives:
a) Social quality in education
b) Enhance quality in education
c) Reduce dependency on verbal teaching and teachers
d) Provide flexibility of time and space in learning.
e) Stimulates learning
f) Provide mass education opportunities.

15. The Internet in education can expand the
knowledge of students, teachers, and
parents. Parents can analyze what is most
important to teach a kid in a particular time.
... The Internet provides the facilities for
students to do the experiments, research,
and development.

17. Enhanced Lessons
Teachers can make use of the Internet by giving students
extra resources and material from the Internet, such as
interactive lessons and educational games. Many college
courses use a "hybrid" model where many lessons are done
online, requiring fewer in-class meetings. This saves students
from having to commute to campus with their heavy
textbooks every day. Tests, homework, collaboration with
students and research can all be done from any computer
with Internet access. Even for non-hybrid classes, the
Internet is used as an addition to normal studies.

18. Study and Research
The Internet contains a wealth of knowledge that is available instantly
upon any search. Because of this, the Internet has superseded libraries
as a source for information gathering and research. Many teachers will
now ask students to visit specific websites to study from home, and
online encyclopedias provide masses of knowledge on almost every
topic imaginable. The variety of sources allows students to pursue
subjects in much greater detail rather than being limited to whatever
the teacher sends home.

19. Communication
It used to be that students that forgot work, missed a
lecture or couldn't remember an assignment were out of
luck until talking face to face with a teacher or a classmate.
However, the Internet allows instantaneous connection to
your classmates and teachers. Improving communication
between students and teachers allows teachers to assist
students without having to stay after class. It also allows
for students to have greater efficiency when working on
projects with their peers when everyone cannot attend or
asking for clarification when something is unclear.

20. Conclusion
We can rightly conclude that the effect of media is
vast on the life of each and every individual. With
the ongoing development of information and
technology in the society, media has given particular
attention to the need of education and cultural
diversity and promoted media consciousness among
individuals. Last but not the least , media has
opened a new dimension and gave a new meaning to
education. Education has become more entertaining
like never before.
