Via media

Dear little one, have you ever played the game of "Telephone" with your friends? It's a fun game where a message is whispered from one person to another, and by the time it gets to the last person, it usually sounds very different from the original message.

Via media is a similar concept, but instead of whispering a message from one person to another, it refers to any way of sharing information that involves a middleman or intermediary.

Imagine you have a toy that you want to give to your friend, but you are not able to give it to them directly because they live far away from you. To get the toy to your friend, you give it to your mom, who gives it to the mailman, who takes it to the post office, where it is then delivered to your friend.

This is an example of via media because there are several steps between you and your friend, involving other people and places. The message, in this case, is the toy that you wanted to give to your friend.

Via media can also refer to different forms of communication like the internet, TV, and even books. They are all ways that information is shared, but there are several steps involved in the process.

But why do we use via media? Sometimes it is necessary when we cannot communicate directly with someone or when we need something to be delivered to a faraway place. Other times, it is because we want to share information with a large group of people, and it is not possible for us to communicate with each of them individually.

So, via media allows us to share information with others in many different ways, even if we can't do it directly.
