meio de expressão


Explanation:
Geralmente, a palavra "medium", no sentido usado na frase dada, corresponde a "meio de comunicação" (e o plural "media" tem sido abusivamente "traduzido" como mídia no Brasil). Contudo, neste texto em particular, cabe melhor "meio de expressão".

neutral  coolbrowne: I suppose many a Kudoz member would feel warmly about any new suggestion. However, said suggestion has not been explained, so the objective question remains: why would this new attempt be better than the ones offered before? Thanks.
