Media plays a paramount role in the transfer of information. There are several media forms to name
such
 as comics, books, radio,
television
, film and theatre.
This
 essay will discuss
p
Add an article
the
show examples
ros and cons of books, film and
television
, and argue telecasting to be relatively more efficient than others. Books are the oldest means of communication among the three. They are easy to carry around, and as
such
 very effective in conveying knowledge.
For example
, in many countries, especially western ones, it is quite common to see people reading books on buses or trains to kill their
time
.
However
, books are not always attractive to many people. For those people, the material presented in books might seem boring and less appealing. Alternatively, films can be adapted from books and effectively shorten the
time
 required to grasp the whole idea.
For instance
, Movies can be even more impressive than books as they present details in a vivid form. Apart from that,
this
 type of media still has its shortcomings in terms of affordability and truthfulness. Watching movies can still be a luxury to many families, and the information in movies may not be the latest.
On the contrary
, TV broadcasting might be able to overcome aforesaid disadvantages. It provides 24-hours coverage of news globally and it has become very common for every family to have a TV at home.
Besides
, it offers various channels and programs, which caters the need of various individuals.
However
, due to the size of a
television
 receiver, it is not handy to have it around all the
time
 compared to books. People
also
 have to bear the frequency of annoying commercial advertisement on TV from
time
 to
time
. To conclude, books, films and
television
 are widely used for sharing data. By comparing their advantages and disadvantages, I personally consider
television
 as the most effective due to its timeliness and full coverage of news.
