Which of the following is NOT a type of media source?

• A. Print
• B. Broadcast
• C. Digital
• D. Social media

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how media sources are categorized by form. Print, broadcast, and digital describe traditional forms of media that come from established outlets with structured editorial processes. Social media, by contrast, is a platform or channel that hosts content from many users and organizations; it enables distribution but isn’t a standalone traditional media source type. So, in this sense, social media isn’t considered a primary “type” of media source like the others. Print covers newspapers and magazines; broadcast covers TV and radio; digital covers websites and apps. Social media includes platforms where content can be generated and shared by individuals, making it a distribution space rather than a single media source category.
