Books vs radio vs televison Books,radio,and television are three effective media for communicating information.In this essay,I will discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages. Books,the traditional and oldest media,have helped hundreds of millions of people broaden their horizons,reconsider the world,and understand the essence of life.And it usually takes several years for a writer to finish a book,making sure the accuracy of the information and depth of the idea.But on the other hand,books can't spread information immediately like radio and television.By contrast,radio can convey important news to the audience as soon as possible.Some people used to say that radio would disappear with the development of TV and the internet which has already been proved wrong.This is because nowadays more and more people have their own cars and they would like to listen to radios while driving.But people aren't satisfied only using their auditory,therefore,they tend to search for something more stimulating—the television,which gives them the visual impact.There are plenty of varied programs on TV,such like live sporting events,news programs,TV shows,movies so forth and so on,so that everybody can find whatever they like.The television also presents the newest and most useful information though there are some disturbing and misleading adverts. In conclusion,the television not only offers most numerous communicating information,but also makes the information attractive and fascinating.So I think that the television is more effective than others.
