I think that most of those mediums, by definition are reading but many people associate reading with intelligence and learning and there’s where all the “technical” definitions come into place. IE comics and magazines aren’t intellectual and thus are not seen as reading because of it.

Interesting reflections on the medium of reading I came to diffrent conclusions as I started from trying to understand definitions of the process of reading

You said it “reading is the action whereby we take in information by sight” and I agree. I’m not 100% sure on comics though, because photographs and images are not exactly reading, more like looking, but anyway.
