  1. Ageing Issues in Different Medias in Bangladesh Electronic and printed medias role

  2. Media • Media is a term that refers to all print, digital, and electronic means of communication. • From the time the printing press was created (and even before), technology has influenced how and where information is shared.

  3. Types of Media • In order of introduction, they are: • Print (books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, etc.) from the late 15th century • Recordings (gramophone records, magnetic tapes, cassettes, cartridges, CDs, DVDs) from the late 19th century

  4. Types of Media • Cinema from about 1900 • Radio from about 1910 • Television from about 1950 • Internet from about 1990 • Mobile phones from about 2000

  6. Television and Radio • Radio programming obviously preceded television, but both shaped people’s lives in much the same way. • In both cases, information (and entertainment) could be enjoyed at home, with a kind of immediacy and community that newspapers could not offer.

  7. Film • The film industry took off in the 1930s, when color and sound were first integrated into feature films. • Like television, early films were unifying for society: As people gathered in theaters to watch new releases, they would laugh, cry, and be scared together.

New Media • New media tends to level the playing field in terms of who is constructing it, i.e., creating, publishing, distributing, and accessing information (Lievrouw and Livingston 2006), • as well as offering alternative forums to groups unable to gain access to traditional political platforms, such as groups associated with the Arab Spring protests (van de Donk et al. 2004).
