An example of a consumer buying a product directly from a supplier is purchasing an airline ticket through an online travel agency purchasing an airline ticket through a travel agency purchasing an airline ticket through an airline's web site purchasing an airline ticket through a cruise liner

The only way of buying directly from a supplier is cutting the intermediaries. In this case the travel online agency, the travel agency, and the cruise liner are all intermediaries since they are not the airline. Purchasing the ticket through the airline’s website is, therefore, the correct answer.

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.
