question 2
I do not agree that it is the message but i agree it has a major part to do with the message. I believe that the content of a message should determine what medium it is broadcast ed through, because the medium I believe determines the effectiveness and persuasiveness of the message trying to be delivered. Television to be is a very open medium because it has both site and sound which makes it the most effective form of a medium because it hits two senses and doesn't have to worry about one dominating the other. For example radio can only be heard and posters and bulletins only seen which makes them less effective and things can be missed on them. On the other hand messages could be missed on TV as well because people might get carried away with what they see and not notice what they hear and vice verse.

Hey 49er! I enjoyed reading your post this week. I thought it was interesting how you stated that you believe that the content of the message should determine what medium is broadcasted. I agree that television is a definite open medium because it indeed has both sound and image. I like your example of the radio and how you stated that it could only be heard. And also how you can only see posters and bulletins as opposed to watching television. I do agree that people may get distracted and miss the messages that are intended for the view: I believe that through radio, television, and posters intended messages can also be missed. I enjoyed reading your post this week.
