The word informative is used when you want to refer to something that fulfills the main function of informing, of passing information or data through different channels and different ways.
What is information?
Information is always a more or less ordered set of data that is organized in such a way so as to be absorbed, understood and retained by the public for whom it is intended. In this way, a text, a program, a comment or a work of art can be informative when they have data that is used as information to be taken into account.
Internet democratizes and expands access to information
Thanks to the development of new technologies such as the internet, the access and processing of information has reached a fantastic and unprecedented level compared to previous moments in history. The Internet has democratized access to information to the maximum, expanded it and is constantly processing new data so that users can access it freely.
But of course, the path of evolution was slow, step by step. In the beginnings of humanity, information circulated orally, later, writing expanded the way of disseminating information, not to mention the exponential dissemination that occurred in the 15th century with the creation of the printing press. The printing press and today the Internet, without a doubt, marked hinge times in the matter of information dissemination and with respect to the Internet the ceiling has not yet arrived and promises to bring more and more advances in the matter.
Information text
When speaking of an informative text, it is referring to a text that has been created specifically to convey information. In this way, the text is not a fictional story but an ordered text of real data and events that may have taken place in the past or present. Informational literary texts can be newspapers, banners, brochures, letters, official documents, and many others. All of them have a specific type of language, of an approximate duration and other characteristics.
Informational radio or television program
This is where the idea of informative as a television program clearly comes in, perhaps one of the most popular and transcendent genres of any type of television or radio programming. The news program is a program that can vary in duration but is generally characterized by being established around the transmission of local and international news or events to a public that is interested in them.
The news programs are usually presented by journalists and also usually have a serious profile in which the news is approached objectively. One of the languages of the news program as a program is the simplicity and brevity of the topics, since in such a way the viewer remains trapped by the accessible succession of content.
In the case of Modulated Expansion (AM) radio, the news program consists of a current information service that radio stations broadcast every thirty minutes and in the middle of the programs that are on the air and that may or may not be from informative character.
Each AM radio station, which is where they became more popular, the information service is notified with an alert tone and there will appear the voices of the announcers who in a short period of between three and five minutes, list the most important news of the day. In addition, recordings are usually broadcast with important statements from some protagonists of the events and the weather data are reported at the beginning and at the end, so that the listener can be informed about it, this is basically a tradition, although it is not a fact current.
