Media

Everything that is happening on the Balkan, in the Europe and in the world we find out in the different ways through the TV, radio and newspapers. In some countries the news are announced faster than in the other countries. I think that we come to the news from the world by the TV. My opinion is that on the Balkan 60-70% of televisions are properties of the political parties. . Because of that they announce the news on the way they want. Media on Balkan have, and give us enough news from the world. I prefer to use the information from Internet.

After 1990, in addition to public broadcasting, private radio and television have started developing rapidly. Macedonian Radio and Television (MKRTV-Makedonska radiotelevizija) has the status of a national broadcasting system. In addition to Macedonian, it broadcasts programs in Albanian, Turkish, Serbian, Romany and Vlach.MKRTV is a member of the European Broadcasting Union and is linked with its Geneva seat and the broadcasting services of neighboring countries. The MKRTV coverage of the territory of Macedonian via the network of about 160 transmitters and relays is the following:  MW (medium wave): 99%  FM (ultra-short wave): 75% Television Channel 1: 96%  Television Channel 2: 55%. Macedonian Radio broadcasts about 90 hours of various programs daily via 6 channels on FM and MW.Macedonian Television broadcasts each day some 50 hours of news, documentaries and programs in the areas of education, culture and the arts via 3 channels.There are also 29 local public stations broadcasting about 230 hours of programs daily. Over 30 hours of these are programs in the languages of the nationalities, of which 15 are in Albanian.There are five public television station in five major towns with a modest total of 30 hours of programmes daily.The expansion of private local and commercial radio and television stations has recently subsided. At one point, about 200 radio and television stations. A moratorium on registration and a ban on pirate broadcasting of programmes followed. The future of these stations is connected with the imminent new laws on broadcasting and telecommunications, which are to stipulate in detail the manner of their foundation, broadcasting permits, etc. These laws are beginning prepared taking into account modern developments in broadcasting, and in cooperation with the Council of Europe.

In this century of high technical development there isn't a family in this world without TV or radio. Those are the two media sources that we now depend on. When we have them, we have the whole world at our hands. The TV is like a tunnel to a virtual dimension, new worlds that no one has seen but every one fantasise about it. The radio is like a reminder of the "lost" times with it's history stories. Anyway, it's just too hard not to be in contact with the world. Because people tell the need to be informed, not to be alone. Media provide us with some light and fun in our sometimes boring lives. For example: if you fell down, watch a good movie, find yourself in the mixture of strangers in the screen. In, the end, we can't live without the media even if we think we can.

"Media sources" Human life has always been dependant on information. A famous writer once said:" A community needs news for the same reason that a man needs eyes. It has to see where it is going." As we entered the 21st century, the need for knowledge and information has just grown. Every day we are surrounded by all kinds of information, which we usually find very useful. The information reaches us thanks to the many media sources and their non-stop activity.Today we cannot imagine a country, which does not have its own media sources. The media sources have become an every day need in anyone's life. The information that had been collected through the day by the news agencies, is presented on TV, teletext, Internet, radio, newspapers etc.
Television is an electronic system for transmitting still or moving images and sound to receivers. Today televi-sion is the most widely used medium. It enables us to get in touch with all kinds of information, from politics to weather by following one of the local, or an international channel through satellite link or by using a cable TV. Nowadays we can hardly imagine a home, which does not have its own TV set. The information on TV is presented through the different shows, starting from news to documentaries. Thanks to the fast development of graphics and electronic industry, a new feature has been added in the past few years-the teletext. The teletext signal is being broadcasted by some of the TV houses and can be viewed on a TV set. Information given on the teletext depends on the TV house that is broadcasting the signal but most often, we can find information about buses, airlines, phones, weather prognosis etc. Today highly developed countries have their own net of TV houses that broadcast programme 24 hours a day. The programme they broadcast is different depending on the TV house.
Newspapers are also wide used medium. Newspapers and other magazines are read by millions of people all over the world, despite the competition from television and radio. Sometimes the newspapers are concentrated on a specific area, such as sport, politics etc, but most often, they write about events in different areas. Newspapers can be published daily or weekly, in the morning or in the afternoon; they may be published for the few hundred inhabitants of a small town, for a whole country, or even for an international market. The information found in the newspapers is being gathered by news agencies. A news agency, also called press agency, is an organization that gathers and distributes news from around a nation or the world, and then provides them to newspapers, periodi-cals, and other magazines. The news agency does not publish news itself but supplies news to its subscribers. Al-most every medium depends on the news agencies for the bulk of the news, even including those few that have extensive newsgathering resources of their own. In the past few years many new newspapers were born. An enormous number of the newborn newspapers are given free in the beginning in order to attract buyers.
Internet is a network that connects many computer networks and is based on a common addressing system and communications protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). The Internet had its origin in a U.S. Department of Defence program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 to provide a secure and survivable communications network for organizations engaged in de-fence-related research. It was originally put in use in 1983 for academic needs and it has rapidly grown since, be-yond all expectations, into an increasingly commercial and popular medium. The number of computers in the world, connected to Internet, by the middle of the 90's was several millions. That number has significantly in-creased since. Internet connects millions of computers, databases, programs, files, people etc., into a net and its resources are available to anyone on the net. Internet as a world wide net allows usage of a few services such as: electronic mail, ftp (file transfer protocol), chat, bulletin boards, newsgroups and the most important component of Internet-www (world wide web). Its popularity as a medium is owed to the enormous number of information sites present on Internet. Today it is impossible to determine the number of sites hosted on the servers connected to Internet 24 hours a day. Finding the needed information sometimes can be difficult because of the enormous number of sites, but when such time comes, we can use one of the many search engines (Yahoo, AltaVista, Excite, MSN) to help us in our search. This way we can literally find anything we want in any time of the day. One of Internet's great features is that the newest information in any area is instantly published.
Radio, as the television finds wide use in anyone's life. The programme on the radio is broadcasted by the many and different radio stations. Most of the radio stations broadcast an interesting programme filled with music, talk shows, surveys etc. We can freely say that radio stations offer interactive programme, because of the many discussions with the listeners on different topics, concerning general problems and opinions. As mentioned before the mediums play an incredible part in our lives. A time will come when only the informed will succeed. We may not know that but, it certainly is so, and as the time goes by, our need to be informed will just grow bigger and bigger and so will their part in our lives. That is why every one should give benefit in the de-velopment of the media network.
