When choosing the correct media type to give your message, what should you consider?


Look at each of the media types and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Is it important to get the message out quickly or is it more important to present your message to the largest number of citizens in your community? Do you want in-depth coverage of the message or would you prefer that your message be presented live before a TV audience. These are some of the considerations that must be considered in making the choice.
