medium/media

Explanation:
Medium enkelvoud, media meervoud. Als dit uitgebreide gebruik van het woord media je niet bevalt, kun je misschien gewoon 'materiaal' gebruiken.

Tegenwoordig kom je dat wel tegen, per slot van rekening wordt alles uit Amerika tegenwoordig (vaak klakkeloos) overgenomen.
Maar zoals gezegd, als je daarmee niet comfortabel bent (gelukkig nog niet gehoord in NL) dan gebruik je gewoon 'materiaal' of 'product'.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Daar heb ik ook aan zitten te denken, maar gebruiken wij het woord MEDIA wel als synoniem voor materiaal? Ik denk in deze context meer aan het eindproduct, zoals een krant of een tijdschrift.
