¶ … Medium and the Message
It is true that the medium and the message are two factors that cannot easily be separated. Whereas once people were limited to basically either print or some form of in-person format, the advancements of modern technologies have made mediums almost limitless. Although virtual reality is still not readily available on a mass market level, these technologies are increasingly becoming cost effective and will likely become ubiquitous in the near future. Other revolutionary mediums have been available for quite some time now. For example, consider Google glass that has commanded a loyal niche follow from many users and has really pushed the boundaries of the ways that we can not only consume information, but also combine information sources while multi-tasking and engaged in virtually any other task that an individual might encounter.
To illustrate how the medium and the message are often conflated, without must people actually realizing the contrasts, the recent Republican debate was chosen as an example. The example illustrates the effect that the medium can have on the message regardless of whatever political camp you might identify with and this brief analysis will attempt to...
Not only is the medium important, but the point in time the information was presented relative to the event can also serve as another aspect that can influence its content and the perceptions of the messages that are gained from consuming the media. For example, information that was presented about the event but before the event was held seems to focus on the background information, predications, or information about the event.
One of the interesting aspects of today's level of technology is that individuals can now consume media from a range of different sources all at the same time. For example, a viewer of the Republican debate can not only watch the event on TV or via some live stream on a television, computer, tablet, or phone, but they can also follow different mediums at the exact time. Some common web of mediums being consumed at once might include…
The Fox News national debate was recently held on March 3rd, 2016 and there was a trove of information about this event through a variety of different mediums that was created before, during, and after the event. Not only is the medium important, but the point in time the information was presented relative to the event can also serve as another aspect that can influence its content and the perceptions of the messages that are gained from consuming the media. For example, information that was presented about the event but before the event was held seems to focus on the background information, predications, or information about the event.
One of the interesting aspects of today's level of technology is that individuals can now consume media from a range of different sources all at the same time. For example, a viewer of the Republican debate can not only watch the event on TV or via some live stream on a television, computer, tablet, or phone, but they can also follow different mediums at the exact time. Some common web of mediums being consumed at once might include Twitter, live blogs, Facebook, and maybe some fact checking through Googling some websites about some of the claims that were made. Not only can individuals combine mediums, but some of the networks now do this automatically, such as when Fox News presents the activity happening on Twitter or screens questions that were posted by viewers over social media.
After the event the mediums seem slight more conventional in terms of multi-tasking or piggy-back mediums. For example, you can read articles about the event that put the overall event in context of its popularity. This particular debate was the extremely popular relative to other events in 2016 as well as in history with over sixteen million people watching. Other articles on digital print or stories on the news often are fairly subjective and include opinions of the candidate's performance; or at least subjective in terms of the information they provide. By actually watching the debate live or by watching a recording you can actually form your own opinion about the candidate's interactions. But even then, commentators are still interjecting their analysis during the event itself. Yet the post-event analysis seems to be more comprehensive since they have more time to compile information to make their arguments. However, reading about one of Trump's outlandish statements in a print analysis, does not compare to actually hearing and watching it for yourself. All of these examples point to the fact that the modern interplay between mediums has become so complex, sometimes it can be difficult to separate them.
Indeed, the Model is an appropriate way to gain a better understanding of what causes people to make certain health behavior decisions, such as those which are likely to have caused pregnant women to bypass regular medical attention or to have failed to take the necessary lifestyle precautions during pregnancy to protect her health and that of her unborn child.

The same argument could reasonably be made for the United States' even more egregious subsequent invasion of Iraq in 2003; the pubic, altruistic reason given was that weapons of mass destruction must be eradicated from this potentially dangerous rogue state. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 surely gave the U.S. more fodder for its defensive justification for invading. Iraq is, perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, an oil-rich
Message E-tailing is sometimes called electronic retailing devised to sell retail goods over the internet. Since 1995, etailing has been used in the internet discussion and is almost synonymous to e-business, e-mail and e-commerce, and transaction is mainly business-to-consumer (B2C). As early as 1997, major corporations have started using etailing as major methods of transacting business. The success of Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble's, and Dell Computer has been attributed to

Communication Influences on the Communication Process Communication takes in many ways and for many reasons; the communication itself may also be impacted by many influences. To understand the process it is necessary to look at both the reasons for communication and the influences that may impact that communication. There are three main purposes for communication; information, persuasion, and motivation. Although each of the different purposes will be examined separately, it should be remembered
