Answer: (A)
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.
