/nuz ˌmidiə/

The news media is the industry that includes newspapers, TV journalism, and every other form that communicates current events and analysis to people.

The local newspaper is part of the news media, and so is the evening report your parents watch on TV or the public radio program they start the day with. The news media also includes magazines, websites, live-streaming news sources, blogs, and much more. It's a broad term that comprises every means of communication used to convey journalism and reporting. The term news media was first used in the 1920s.
