The forms of media from the provided options are:

• an e-mail to a friend

Answer 6

all right but not a media to a friend

You're correct in noting that an email to a friend is more of a personal communication rather than a public form of media like a blog or magazine. In the context of traditional definitions, media usually refers to platforms or formats that disseminate information to a broader audience.

Given that clarification, the forms of media from your options would primarily be:

• a brochure distributed to many people
• a blog
• a magazine

Thank you for pointing that out!
