This was the study we had at our home this week and I thought the information could help others so I am sharing it here.
MEDIA:
Definition: the main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, & internet) regarded collectively. “Their demands were publicized by the media”
noun: a plural of medium: (usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, that reach or influence people widely: The media are covering the speech tonight.
WORDS RELATED TO MEDIA: news, television, radio, publishing, correspondence, disclosure, cable, announcement, intelligence, communications, expression
USAGE NOTE FOR MEDIA: MEDIA, like data, is the plural form of a word borrowed directly from Latin. The singular, MEDIUM, early developed the meaning “an intervening agency, means, or instrument” and was first applied to newspapers two centuries ago. In the 1920s MEDIA began to appear as a singular collective noun, sometimes with the plural MEDIAS. This singular use is now common in the fields of mass communication and advertising, but it is not frequently found outside them: The media is (or are ) not antibusiness.
