Question by Ven: Would anybody help me with my exam questions? Your help will be much appreciated.?
Most of us tend to think of production when we think of mass media industries. After all, it’s the output of this production—the papers we read, the cable TV shows we watch—that grab our attention, make us happy or angry, interested or bored. Moreover, most public discussion about mass communication tends to be about production. The latest gossip about that the actor will be in what film, the angry comments a mayor makes about the violence on local TV news, the newest CDs by an up-and-coming group—these are the kinds of topics that focus our attention on the making of content, not its distribution or exhibition.
Media executives know, however,that production is only one step in the arduous and risky process of gettin a mass media idea to an audience. Distribution is the delivery of the produced material to the point where it will be shown to its intended audience. The activity take place out of public view. We have already mentioned that NBC acts as a distributor when it disseminates television programming via satellite to TV stations, When Philadelphia Newspapers Inc. delivers United Artists Theaters, and when Sony Music sends its newest releases to Sam Goody and Musiclland stores, they are involved in distribution to exhibitors.

Um…. you’re the student. Everybody else has to do their own work…. you should too.
And FYI, posting your exam questions on here makes you look like someone who’s never had to work for anything, and I’m sure you don’t want to come across that way. Buckle down, and do the work. It’s really not all that bad
