News media are the means or methods 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 readers. 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. For example, the newspaper "The New York
Times" is published every day of the year. Most news magazines are published weekly, for
instance. Newsweek and Time magazines are published once a week. The electronic media
are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is news that you listen to. In the
United States, many radio stations broadcast live minutes of news every hour. TV news is
news that you not only listen to but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example,
many people watch an hour of news on TV at 6 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.
Questions:
27. What do the print media use to communicate the news?
