Consumerism
Consumerism is a part of a society and economics where the desire to purchase goods and services is in a greater amount. So in order the media to be successive and running over the years it has developed and created new forms of media. The first ever form of media was Printing Press. The first printed text on paper was the Bible which was very popular with the religions and people who believed in it. This later developed to the creation of newspaper which was popular with the society as high populations had interest in reading the latest News around the world or the country. In San Francisco, America and the " Wild West " the latest news of gold and the war was being published. (Citizen Kane) Reporters were sent to the war front line to deliver news on what is happening and the information was telegraph as a new form of technology. 1920s to now the technology continued to develop and the invention of radio and the arrival of cinema started to wipe out the newspapers out of the scene. As newspapers only being popular in huge cities so their income came only from there. In America every town had a radio so it meant that they were very profitable as where in Britain it was nationalised and so. In the UK the BBC controlled the radio it was more educational, classy and all about the good quality. This meant that BBC Radio in the UK did not have much competition so newspapers were still going on. But in America it was the other way around the form of new technology raised above newspapers. This lead to a lot more advertising being introduced in order the media to run and produce.
