Etymology
إعلام is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَعْلَمَ (aʿlama), meaning to inform or notify. That verb is the causative of عَلِمَ (ʿalima), to know, built on the triliteral root ع-ل-م. So the word's core sense is the act of making something known, which modern usage narrowed to cover the press, broadcasting, and mass communication generally.
