Electronic media use electronics or electromechanical energy for messaging the end user (audience) to access the content. This is in contrast to static media (mainly print media), which today are most often created electronically, but do not require electronics to be accessed by the end user in the printed form. The primary electronic media sources familiar to the general public are video recordings, audio recordings, multimedia presentations, slide presentations, CD-ROM and online content. Most new media are in the form of digital media. However, electronic media may be in either analogue electronics data or digital electronic data format.There are many forms of electronic media on the basis of tools and methodologies, technologies used.  electronic media's ability to break news at lightning speeds is cited as a key factor for the continuing decline of print media readership. Still, that quality often leaves analysts questioning if electronic media is speeding up the superficiality of contemporary culture, Electronic media are ubiquitous in most of the developed world. As of 2005, there are reports of satellite receivers being present in some of the most remote and inaccessible regions of China.[citation needed] Electronic media devices have found their way into all parts of modern life. There are so many media accessories which are extensively used to make the news more accessible in shorter time. It presents news more frequently from any part of the world and relayed the same with in minutes of time, as the uploading of contents get finished in collection and recording room, it comes in a flash news or breaking news such fastness never be attempted and could not made by print media it is slow and based on authenticity of the news but electronic media is real time story in original, there is no such of any tempering in that. 

For this purpose electronic media depends on

 Thank you Ravi. This is very useful. So, the broader classification when it comes to use of non human media in delivering psychotherapy might be;

1. Print (use of self help books for example)

2. Electronic (further divided into analogue and digital)

I am still a bit lost with the rest. I know you put number 1 for capture, but there were no numbers afterwards. I am a totally novice in this area and will appreciate further clarification and your patience. 

Is there a reference I can use please? 

I think that what Ravi means is that Electronic media on itself is too broad. I tend to agree with your summary that you can you can classify media as print and electronic. However, depending on the exact nature of your study you might want to make subgroups. How you classify those subgroups really depends on your theory. For example, you can classify into mediums (radio, TV, internet); or in mediatype (word-of-mouth, print, analogue, digital), or even quality (fictional movies versus documentaries, gossip magazine versus quality newspaper, amateur blog versus scholar publications).

So take a close look at your theoretical framework, decide which option works best for your study. 

I want to classify the media as-

1. Traditional Folk Media

2. Print Media

3. Electronic Media

4. New Media

Again electronic media may be-

1. Audio Media

2. Visual Media and

3. Audio Visual media

I tend to disagree with Ankuran.

Traditional Folk Media can not be defined on a broad spectrum, because it depends on the culture you're dealing with. Smoke signals are very different from cave paintings both in visibility as well as what they can tell a person. In addition, are native Americans comparable to original inhabitants of Europe?

Electronic media classified as audio, visual and audio-visual is too broad. Visual media can also be print media.

New media is also a bad term (shouldn't be used by anyone in my opinion). It's commonly used but when does new become old? Is e-mail still new media, even though it's a 40 year old concept? Is digital television new? What about analogue television? Also, new media is always part of electronic media in this classification.

Thank you all. This was very helpful. We finally decided that probably we can not use eMedia types for classification. However, one of the things we observed was that, as far as the mobile Health (eHealth) delivered interventions are concerned, there are three types; 1. Type 1 [An intervention delivered by a human therapist through eMedia (e.g., telephone delivered problem solving by a therapist, Avatar Therapy)], Type 2 [An intervention based on a manualized, well established therapy delivered through eMedia (e.g., CBT delivered by a website that is based on a manual, or thought diaries)], and, Type 3 [A new intervention that did not exist before, and is not based on previous theory or on therapeutic principles (e.g, electronic dispensing), or if it is, it is based loosely in theory. But these are just preliminary observations. Any views?

Thank you all. We decided to not use the media based classification in the end. It was too broad and did not make any useful clinical sense. I will share the paper once it is published. Thank you. Best

Do anyone mention it in under a case law where both are stated as coming under the reasonable classification or not?
