CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Communication channels through which news, entertainment, education, data, or promotional messages are disseminated. Media includes every broadcasting and narrowcasting medium such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, telephone, fax, and internet. Media is the plural of medium and can take a plural or singular verb, depending on the sense intended. In general, "media" refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or news reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective noun, but refers to different types of data storage options.
Definition of Media
The dictionary defines, media as all the means of communication, as newspapers, radio, and TV, which provide the public with news, entertainment, etc., usually along with advertising. Essentially, that means almost anything can be media as long as it is watched.
The print media have always been a popular advertising medium. Advertising Products via newspapers or magazines is a common practice.
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY In addition to this, the print media also offers options like promotional brochures and fliers for advertising purposes.
Outdoor advertising is also a very popular form of advertising, which makes use of several tools and techniques to attract the customers outdoors. The most common examples of outdoor advertising are billboards, kiosks, and also several events and tradeshows organized by the company. The billboard advertising is very popular however has to be really terse and catchy In order to grab the attention of the passers by.
Broadcast advertising is a very popular advertising medium that constitutes of several branches like television, radio or the Internet. Television advertisements have been very popular ever since they have been introduced. The cost of television advertising often depends on the duration of the advertisement, the time of broadcast, and of course the popularity of the television channel on which the advertisement is going to be broadcasted. The radio might have lost its charm owing to the new age media however the radio remains to be the choice of small-scale advertisers.
Covert advertising is a unique kind of advertising in which a product or a particular brand is incorporated in some entertainment and media channels like movies, television shows or even sports. Examples for this sort of advertising have to be the appearance of brand Nokia which is displayed on Tom Cruises phone in the movie Minority Report, or the use of Cadillac cars in the movie Matrix Reloaded.
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY Surrogate advertising is prominently seen in cases where advertising a particular product is banned by law. Advertisement for products like cigarettes or alcohol which are injurious to heath are prohibited by law in several countries and hence these companies have to come up with several other products that might have the same brand name and indirectly remind people of the cigarettes or beer bottles of the same brand.
Public service advertising is a technique that makes use of advertising as an effective communication medium to convey socially relevant messaged about important matters and social welfare causes like AIDS, energy conservation, political integrity, deforestation, illiteracy, poverty and so on. Today public service advertising has been increasingly used in a noncommercial fashion in several countries across the world in order to promote various social causes.
To achieve the communication objectives of the first stage an action group will probably use meetings, telephone, and letters and perhaps email in an informal way. The opportunity at this stage is to "hit the ground running". If you establish systems at the beginning, it will save a great deal of time (and energy) down the line. The simplest example is the contact list. If the core group establishes a standard format for this list, and one person to maintain it, and ensures that the full contact information for any new person is entered, you have given yourself a basic communication tool that will be used (and useful) at every stage.
10
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY As long as these requirements are met, as long as all the members of the group have ready access to up-to-date info, it doesn't matter what form the info comes in. 2. To connect with the group's immediate community
At this stage, the story is kept as simple as possible; it's personal, and tells about the group, and its goal. The immediate objective is to hear response; if appropriate, to ask for support, or quotable comment. This preliminary round of outreach can usually be effectively done using word-of-mouth, letters, personal email, informal surveys and meetings. The priority objective is that the group gets a firm idea of the resources and support it will have available, and can adopt an appropriate project supported by a realistic strategy.
11
In this stage, your project is the story. Your immediate community and natural partners are still your first audiences, but now you are telling about what you propose to do, and inviting their participation in fulfilling your project. The objective is to hear reactions to your plan, so you have opportunity to modify it. And to learn how to tell the story of your project in preparation for taking it to a wider public audience in the following stage. In this stage, home audio and video can be very powerful. First, you can use them the way a golfer uses video to improve their swing: taping and seeing/hearing themselves gives members of a group an opportunity to modify their presentation in any way they choose.
12
The overall objective of this stage is to gain wider participation in your project, so this version of your story must relate your project to the interests of the wider community, and may use local newspapers, periodicals, radio, and cable or regional broadcast graphic displays in public places, art shows, performances, meetings and other events. This stage begins with making personal connections with individuals in your local communication and cultural communities, to gain their interest, and to have them tell you how best to tell your story to a wider audience through their particular medium. 5. To report
13
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY At this stage you will use all the media available to you to report out to the participants, with an evaluation of the effectiveness of your project, an acknowledgment of the contributions of participants, and a request for their comments on the project and suggestions for follow-up. A newsletter is a relatively inexpensive medium for this purpose.
6. Mass media
Depending on how wide an audience the group ultimately needs to reach, one of the most useful outcomes of its first communication cycle is that the group will be much better prepared to relate to "mass" media: national radio and television, documentary film and video, the World Wide Web. And you will have developed connections in the cultural community that can help you take your story to the level of performance.

Disadvantages
y y y y
Poor photo reproduction limits creativity. A price-oriented medium. Most ads are for sales. Short shelf life. The day after a newspaper appears its history. A highly visible medium. Your competitors can quickly react to your
15
2) Magazines :-
Advantages High reader involvement means more attention will be paid to your advertisement. Less waste circulation. You can place your ads in magazines read primarily by buyers of your product or service. The smaller the page (generally eight and half by eleven inches) permits even small ads to stand out. Disadvantages Long lead times (generally 90 days) mean you have to make plans a long time in advance.
16
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY The cost for space is higher in addition to higher creative costs.
3) Yellow Pages :-
Advantages Everyone uses the yellow pages. Ads are reasonably inexpensive. You can easily track your responses. Disadvantages All of your competitors are listed so you run the ad as a defensive measure. Ads are not very creative since they follow certain formats. 4) Radio :-
17
Advantages Permits you to create a personality for your business using only sounds and voices. Free creative help is usually available. Rates can generally be negotiated. Least inflated medium. During the past ten years, radio rates have gone up less than other media. Disadvantages Because radio listeners are spread over many stations, to totally saturate your market you have to advertise simultaneously on many stations. Listeners cannot refer back to your ads to go over important points. Ads are an interruption to the entertainment. Because of this, radio ads must be repeated to break through the listener's "tune out" factor. Advertising costs are based on ratings which are approximations based on diaries kept in a relatively small fraction of a region's homes. 5) Television :-
18
Advantages Permits you to reach great numbers of people on a national or regional level. Independent stations and cable offer new opportunities to pinpoint local audiences. Very much an image-building medium. Disadvantages Ads on network affiliates are concentrated in local news broadcasts and on station breaks. Creative and production costs can quickly mount up. Lead time can result in items being sold out before ad runs. Most ads are ten or thirty seconds long, which limits the amount of information you can communicate. 6) Direct Mail :-
19
Advantages Your advertising message is targeted to those most likely to buy your product or service. Your message can be as long as necessary to fully tell your story. You have total control over all elements of creation and production. A "silent" medium. Your message is hidden from your competitors until it's too late for them to react. Disadvantages Long lead times required for creative printing and mailing. Requires coordinating the services of many people: artists, photographers, printers, etc. Each year over 20% of the population moves, meaning you must work hard to keep your mail list up to date. Likewise, a certain percentage of the names on a purchased mailing list are likely to be no longer useful.
20
Advantages You can easily answer questions about your product/service. It's easy to prospect and find the right person to talk to. Cost effective compared to direct sales. Highly measurable results. You can get a lot of information if your script is properly structured. Disadvantages Many business use telemarketing. Professionals should draft the script and perform the telemarketing in order for it to be effective. Can be extremely expensive. Most appropriate for high-ticket retail items or professional services.
Advantages Can be attention grabbers if they are done well. Can give top-of-mind awareness. Gets your name in front of people. Disadvantages Difficult to target your market. Can be an inappropriate medium for some businesses. Difficult to find items that are appropriate for certain businesses.

CHPTER 5 INTRODUCTION
At its core, publicity is the simple act of making a suggestion to a journalist that leads to the inclusion of a company or product in a story. Newspapers, magazines, TV programs and radio shows have large amounts of space to fill and depend upon publicists to help provide story ideas, interview subjects, background information and other material. For the most part, the act of making a suggestion to a journalist, when successful, will lead to one of two types of coverage:
y
The inclusion of your product, company or service in an already existing story (e.g. the reporter is already working on a story about your field and
23
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY your contact with her results in your product being included in the piece)
DEFINITION
According to Business Dictionary , Type of promotion that relies on public relations effect of a news story carried usually free by mass media. The main objective of publicity is not sales promotion, but creation of an image through editorial or 'independent source' commentary. While the publicist can control the content of the story, he or she may not have any control over its placement or interpretation by the media.
24
The essential purpose of a poster is the rapid telling of a single simple message using a limited number of elements. Posters are viewed more rapidly than other methods of advertisement. Their message must be strong, simple, and brief.
25
Table tents should be made of thick or heavy grade of paper that will stand firm. Table tents can be placed in visible locations including lounges, lobby, dining hall, and on desk tops.
C. INVITATION:
A personal touch can be added to your publicity by distributing invitations for your program. These can be placed in mailboxes or handed out or slipped under room doors.
26
A large calendar of activities located on your bulletin board or distributed individually is a particularly effective technique. Students will have at least one consistently identifiable source for information and activities. The smaller calendars of activities can be copied and put into mailboxes or slid under doors.
E. BALLOONS:
You can write a message on the balloon or put the message on a piece of paper inside the balloon. Balloons can be tied with string to student's door knobs, handed out at
27
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY the entrance of the building or handed out in dining hall lines.
F. TICKETS:
You can purchase printed tickets or make your own. Free tickets, and invitations, can be placed in mailboxes, handed out, or slipped under doors. A variation of the ticket concept is to distribute coupons. The coupon might entitle the person to a prize or free refreshment item. Coupons can be included on flyers or on printed schedules and this may prevent your advertisement from falling victim to the trash can.
G. BILLBOARDS:
Place a large poster in the central lobby of Goodwin Hall. For a more unusual effect, make a human billboard by hanging posters on the front and back of someone and have them walk around.
28
A large extension of the poster, these can be hung outside the hall or in the Mailroom or in a lobby. A bed sheet or old shower curtain will make a good size banner. I. WORD OF MOUTH:
This is perhaps the oldest, yet most effective way to get the word out. Its effectiveness should not be underestimated. Go door to door and personally inform people of the activity; and remind them frequently, so that they don't forget.

ROLE OF MEDIA IN PUBLICITY : In todays world, media has made a very special place for itself in our lives.
There is no denial that media is playing a very significant role in making the world smaller.
Through various mediums of media whether it is radio, television, newspaper or internet, we are able to connect with large number of people around us.
I think it is almost impossible to imagine a life without media. Campaign such as Teach India and Jaago Grahak Jaago helps in spreading awareness about human rights and duties.
Be it our work, relationships, education or entertainment, media is seen everywhere. And there is no denial that we cannot live without media.
The basic purpose of media is to make the information reach to maximum people and thus help in not only market expansion and leadership but also in making products services or systems to be popularized and known. It works as a profitability indicator and the
31
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY feedback received helps in further decision making, forecasting.
Media helps in gaining and retaining attention of people as thus creating a bond by touching the emotional or the need front through alluring commercials and above all it is the strongest medium.
Media works as platform for making information reach to the masses and in developing a direct and emotional bond between the service provider and the user.
32
33
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY findings that the original digital divide of physical internet access has evolved into a divide that includes differences in skills to use the internet.
MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY previous studies, most likely as a result of competition between traditional media outlets and celebrity-news sources. These statements were not disproved by this study, allowing it to be said that competition between the two media types may result in more efforts to investigate and cover the latest, boldest, most intimate information relating to celebrities.

MEDIA AND ITS ROLE IN PUBLICITY Thus, The Media is very important in our life, without media our life is in completed.
Media helps us for share any information from one person to another. I believe that those who are not tied to this system are missing something, They are missing information.
The ability to constantly receive information is a privilege that I recognize is a crutch at times but I relish its advantages,
People who do not use media as frequently as our society does are probably missing out on important news and social interaction.
But what is important is to regulate and to have proper checks on the right usage of media in promoting the filtered and the authentic information so as the right purpose of media in making people aware and judicious can be achieved.
