Human beings exchanged news long before they could write. They spread it by word of mouth at crossroads and markets. With the arrival of writing and literacy, news gained added reliability and the news media took varied forms. The modern newspaper is a European invention after which came the radio and television followed y the electronic media, significantly, the Internet. As internet presents ideas in varied forms, it alone is a better substitute to all other news media taken together.
News Media is stored in files, on tape or microfilm or in computers. It is used by news and editorial staff in publishing establishments, such as newspaper and magazine and in broadcasting establishments including radio, television and Internet. This book discusses about the emergence of news media, focusing on the newspaper, radio, television and Internet and the accumulation of news media resources in libraries. The management issues and preservation techniques of the news media resources have also been discussed. It is hoped that the book will be useful for the students of Journalism, Mass Communication and Library and Information Science.
