Beware of Media AKA Mediums ● media (n.) Etymology "newspapers, radio, TV, etc." 1927, perhaps abstracted from mass-media (1923, a technical term in advertising); plural of medium (n.) as "intermediate agency," a sense attested in English from c. 1600. ● medium (n.) Etymology The sense of "person who contacts the dead". 1580s, "a middle ground, quality, or degree; that which holds a middle place or position," from Latin medium "the middle, midst, center; interval," noun use of neuter of adjective medius "in the middle, between; from the middle" (from PIE root *medhyo- "middle"). Many of the secondary senses are via the notion of "intervening substance through which a force or quality is conveyed" (1590s) and "intermediate agency, channel of communication" (c. 1600). From the former, via application to air, etc., comes the sense of "one's environment or conditions" (1865). From the latter comes the sense of "a print publication" (1795) which later grew into the meaning in media. In spiritualism, "person who conveys spiritual messages," by 1853. In painting, in reference to oil, watercolor, etc., by 1854. The notion is "liquid with which pigments are ground or mixed to give them desired fluidity." Happy medium is the "golden mean," Horace's aurea mediocritas. ● news (v.) Etymology "to tell as news, report, rumor," 1640s, from news (n.). Related: Newsed; newsing. ● Media comes from the root word medium which deals with witchery. It is the mechanism used to convey information meant to influence the receivers actions, behaviors, and or thoughts. Movies are a form of media. Horror movies are specifically meant to put one in a state of fear. News Media therefore is the mechanism by which reports/rumors are conveyed in order to influence one’s behavior, actions, and or thoughts. Mass Media is when this is done on a national or mutli-national level.
