News media are the means or method by which people learn what is happening in the city, in the country and in
the world. The news media can be classified into two general categories: the categories of print media and electronic
media. Print media use the written material to communicate news to reader. Electronic media use air waves to send
news into homes, offices and public places. Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most
newspapers print news daily. The electric media are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is the one
that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast five minutes of news every hour. Television
news is the one that you not only listen but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example, many people
watch an hour of news on TV at six o’clock in the evening. In the future new categories of news media will develop.
Even today computers are beginning to influence the transmission and reception of news.
