Read the passage below and answer the
questions based on understanding of the
passage. (Question Nos. 46 – 50) :
Communication media have evolved
along with technological transformations
and progress. Man’s inborn need to
communicate led to the first medium for
the global transmission of information –
the printing press, followed by the rotary
printing press. But the need for
information has always been in continuous
growth, so that inventions such as
telegraph had to be adopted for
information transmission by waves.
Indeed, the radio was one of the society’s
great technological and democratizing
advances. But there is no doubt that
television has succeeded in making
McLuhan’s idea of the existence of a
television tribe a reality. Large companies,
which control access to information by
methods that are close to being a
monopoly, wage fierce battles in order to
control mass media, especially television.
The “fourth power’ collects, disseminates
and preserves a great quantity of
information. This information is
thematically diverse and exists in a wide
variety of formats and media. In order to
control such an important business asset,
almost all television broadcasters have set
a documentation service that is responsible
for satisfying journalists’ information
needs and for the maintenance of the
firm’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
Documentation centres are just the visible
aspects of a great documentation web
involving different classes of documents,
varied media and the diverse requirements
of end users. The computerization of
documentation structures is a reality that is
sustained by a constant exchange of
information between documentalists and
communication scientists, aimed at
enabling the preservation of information
and access to this information by means of
a standard set of parameters.
The thematic descriptors must describe,
viewed and referred content in the audiovisual
documents with precision. Thematic
identification has a special importance
since it is the usual method for accessing
information. For these fields, different
television companies use different
proprietary ad hoe tools, with thesauri
being the formula employed to control
vocabulary. There have also been
experiments aimed at developing effective
tools based on faceted classifications. The
fact that audio-visual information has to be
analysed from two different perspectives in
order to understand the challenges offered
by this kind of document should be
considered. The visual and the sonorous
sometimes are complementary, and
consequently must be studied and analysed
by the information manager. Sound and
visual tracks do often collaborate to create a
joint informative message, but it is also very
common the case where both contribute to
create quite different meanings.
