1. Print Media : The oldest media forms are newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, and other printed material. These publications are collectively known as the print media. The print media is responsible for more reporting than other news sources.
2. Broadcast Media : Broadcast media are news reports broadcast via radio and television. Television news is hugely important in the United States because more Americans get their news from television broadcasts than from any other source.
3. Transforming Traditional Media :
Bloggers are not only transforming traditional media sources but holding them more accountable too.
4. Talk Radio : Talk radio is a radio format in which the hosts mix interviews with political commentary. As a result, many talk radio shows are highly partisan.
5. Televisons News : Since the 1980s, however, cable news channels have chipped away at the broadcast networks. CNN and MSNBC both broadcast news around the clock. Because the cable news channels are always broadcasting news programs, many people who want to follow a story closely tune in to these stations first.
