What Is Media?

In general, "media" refers to various forms of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different forms of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or new reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective nouns, but refers to different types of data storage options.

I started this blog as an assignment for my Media Literacy Part 2 course as a resource for teachers. I will now also be using it in my Media Specialist to reflect on my learning throughout the course.
