Communicating through various mediums

Definition

This refers to the process of conveying information, ideas, or messages through different channels such as print media (newspapers, magazines), broadcast media (TV, radio), digital media (internet, social media), and interpersonal communication.

Analogy

Think of it like a pizza delivery service. The pizza is your message and the delivery methods can vary - you could have it delivered by a car, bike, drone or even on foot. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages but they all serve the same purpose - delivering the pizza (or in this case, your message) to its destination.
