What is not considered public media?

1. Television and radio

2. Newspapers and flyers

3. Manager signs regulated by specific requirements

4. Internet ads

The correct answer is: Manager signs regulated by specific requirements

Manager signs regulated by specific requirements are not considered public media because they typically serve a specific purpose within a certain context, such as providing directional information or advertising for a particular business or service in a controlled manner. These signs are often subject to local regulations governing their size, placement, and visibility, limiting their reach and accessibility to the general public compared to other forms of public media. In contrast, television, radio, newspapers, and flyers are generally considered public media because they are widely disseminated to the general populace and can be accessed by anyone within their respective audiences without specific restrictions. Internet ads, while targeted, also fall into a public media category as they can reach a broad audience, depending on how they are deployed. Thus, the defining characteristic of public media is its openness and accessibility to a larger public, which does not apply to manager signs under regulated requirements.
