The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass

communication. The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.
Broadcast media transmit information electronically, via such media as film, radio, recorded music,
or television. Digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass communication. Internet media comprise such
services as email, social media sites, websites, and Internet-based radio and television. Many other mass media
outlets have an additional presence on the web, by such means as linking to or running TV ads online, or
distributing QR Codes in outdoor or print media to direct mobile users to a website. In this way, they can utilise the
easy accessibility and outreach capabilities the Internet affords, as thereby easily broadcast information throughout
many different regions of the world simultaneously and cost-efficiently. Outdoor media transmit information via such
media as AR advertising;billboards; blimps; flying billboards (signs in tow of airplanes); placards or kiosks placed
inside and outside of buses, commercial buildings, shops, sports stadiums, subway cars, or trains; signs;
orskywriting.[1] Print media transmit information via physical objects, such
as books, comics, magazines, newspapers, or pamphlets.[2] Event organizing and public speaking can also be
considered forms of mass media.[3]

Jos Protasio Rizal Mercado[6] y Alonso Realonda or popularly known as Jos Rizal (Spanish pronunciation: [xo
se risal]; June 19, 1861 December 30, 1896) was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during the tail end of
the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. An ophthalmologist by profession, Rizal became a writer and a key
member of the Filipino Propaganda Movement which advocated political reforms for the colony under Spain. He was
executed by the Spanish colonial government for the crime of rebellion after an anti-colonial revolution, inspired in
part by his writings, broke out. Though he was not actively involved in its planning or conduct, he ultimately approved
of its goals which eventually led to Philippine independence. He is widely considered one of the greatest heroes of
the Philippines, and is implied by Philippine law to be one of the national heroes.[7] He was the author of the
novels Noli Me Tngere,[8] and El filibusterismo,[9] and a number of poems and essays.[10][11]

Isabelo de los Reyes, Sr. y Florentino, also known as Don Belong (July 7, 1864 October 10, 1938), was a
prominent Filipino politician, writer and labor activist in the 19th and 20th centuries. He was the original founder of
the Aglipayan Church, an independent Christian Protestant church in the catholictradition. Due to his
widespread Anti-Catholic writings and activism with labor unions, he is sometimes dubbed as the "Father of Filipino
Socialism". Pope Leo XIII formally excommunicated Reyes in 1903 as a schismatic apostate. As a young man, Reyes
followed his mother's footsteps by initially turning to writing as a career; he won a prize at the age of 23 for his first
written book. He later became a journalist, editor, and publisher in Manila, and was imprisoned in 1897 for

revolutionary activities. He was deported to the Kingdom of Spain, where he was jailed for his activities until 1898.
While living and working in Madrid, he was influenced by the writings of European socialists and Marxists.

Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 April 2, 1872) was an American painter and inventor. After having
established his reputation as a portrait painter, in his middle age Morse contributed to the invention of a singlewire telegraph system based on European telegraphs. He was a co-developer of theMorse code, and helped to
develop the commercial use of telegraphy.

Guglielmo Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi (Italian: [ulmo markoni]; 25 April 1874 20 July 1937) was
an Italian inventor and electrical engineerknown for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission[1] and for
his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. He is often credited as the inventor of radio,[2] and he
shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the
development of wireless telegraphy".[3][4][5]
Marconi was an entrepreneur, businessman, and founder of The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in the United
Kingdom in 1897 (which became theMarconi Company). He succeeded in making a commercial success of radio by
innovating and building on the work of previous experimenters and physicists.[6][7] In 1929, the King of Italy ennobled
Marconi as a Marchese (marquis).
