 What is It

MEDIA DIMENSIONS

Media as an instrument of information dissemination influenced the trend of every

generation. Information may be presented in various way depending on the platform
it uses. Media dimensions may be in the form of text, visual, audio,motion,
manipulative and multimedia. Information presented through these platforms may
be formally or informally produced and disseminated. Formally produced
information are created by professionals who follow standards in creating, editing,
and producing information. These information are usually produced by formal
organizations such as schools, government and established media/publishing
outlets.
On the other hand, informally produced information are created by individuals often
for personal use. They usually come from personal or views on different issues,
process, etc. Blogs, personal e-mails, SMS, online messengers and social media
platforms are the common examples.
