Chapter 11 & 12 Evaluation of Media: TV, Radio, Newspaper & Magazine

This document provides an evaluation of different media for advertising purposes, including television, radio, newspapers, and magazines. For each medium, the author discusses advantages and limitations. Some key advantages of television include creativity and impact of ads, as well as cost effectiveness due to wide coverage. However, television ads have limitations such as high costs, lack of selectivity in targeting audiences, and short duration of messages. Radio is highlighted as being inexpensive and allowing targeting of specific markets, though creative options are limited without visuals. Magazines are noted as having selectivity in targeting readers and high reproduction quality, but have longer lead times. Newspapers provide flexibility and geographic targeting but suffer from lack of selectivity.
