Messages from the Media
1 The weather forecast, a story about the candidates in an election, and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium, of which the plural (复数的) from is media, is a means of communicating a message. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media.

Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote, consumer reports on television help up decide how to spend our money, and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace.
