Media is the form in which my piece is displayed, whether its is printed or emailed as a pdf or some third option. In the case that it is both emailed and printed my written piece becomes multi-modal. The media my piece will be displayed as a certain form of media will have distinct advantages over others when trying to persuade an audience. If I were to email the governor of California, as he is one of my receiving parties for my Engineering Proposal, I would probably get a response the same week or the week after I sent my email. However, if I mailed my group’s proposal it most likely would not have even made it to his desk.
