MEDIA
noun /ˈmēdēə/ media, plural
  1. The main means of mass communication (esp. television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet) regarded collectively
    • - the campaign won media attention

Simply put, media can be identified in all sorts of term, be it through (commonly known) television, radio, newspapers, Internet, etc... If we were to break it down, even a simple thing like a piece of paper can be viewed as a medium, provided it has messages and words written on it, because if you notch it up to another level, it can transform into newspapers, in order to transfer a message from one to another.
It can also be viewed as a term of idol. For example, a sort of idol for worshiping purposes. Statues for religion purposes, is a sort of 'medium' to link human world to the spiritual world, if you may.
