Information channels refer to the various methods of communication used to transmit information from one source to another. Two examples of information channels are MEDIA and PIPELINES. MEDIA is a term used to describe any form of communication, such as television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the internet. PIPELINES, on the other hand, are physical conduits that transport data, such as cables, wires, and fiber optics. Both MEDIA and PIPELINES are essential for the transmission of information in today's digital world.
