recorded in 1920-1925. 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. There are a lot of ways for you to acquire information from media and with
