Isn't the ethymology of "media" as derivedd from the Persian province of that name EXTREMELY doubtful??? Or - at the least - rather creative. As far as I've been aware it's derived from Latin "medius" as adjective or noun for middle or inbetween since media always stand inbetween the one who provides a piece of news/information and the recipient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J.mathieu (talk • contribs) 09:42, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no title

"Now a days" "Hard discs of computer is an example of electronic media" "hard disc is now becoming more and more smaller in size." Is this article a complete joke??? --JB (talk) 13:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected the grammar since Media is the singular version and Medium is the plural version of the word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee1795 (talk • contribs) 00:10, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected the grammar of the previous "correction". "Medium" is the singular and "media" is the plural, a reflection of the word's Latin etymology. 38.97.70.2 (talk) 20:59, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Media and means of communication

"Media" and "Means of Communication" are only equal for some authors. But even they describe that the concept of media is extremely fuzzy and a kind of umbrella term for very much and very different concepts. See here: Artificial Presence: Philosophical Studies in Image Theory, Lambert Wiesing, ISBN 0804759413, S. 122 ff, Google Books. This is why there are two articles de:Kommunikationsmittel (for "means of communication") and de:Medium (Kommunikation) (for "Media (Communication)") in the german wikipedia. --Biggerj1 (talk) 09:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Media & Medium: the umbrella grouping of terms

why is the singular form 'media' used as the umbrella term for a compilation of terms which would indicate the usage of the plural form 'medium'?

Is there any evidence that the popularization of the term 'media' (from the Latin word 'medius', meaning 'in the middle') was to transfer a meaning of "don't shoot the middleman/messenger" and to dilute the accountability of persons within the multiple industries associated with the term?

Tone in section "social impact"

Contains some second person language and the tone could be improved, maybe we should add the tone template for now? Hinanawi (talk) 04:09, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just go ahead and add the template for now Hinanawi (talk) 00:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The more I read it, I think the entire section can be scrubbed. There are multiple articles already outlining the various impacts that media has. It feels out of place, even if we edit the tone of the article. PaulRKil (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
