What is a word or phrase that can be used to refer to media entities like TV programs, newspaper articles, etc

English Language & Usage Asked by Uzair A. on March 1, 2021

I’m looking for a word or a short phrase that can be used as a collective term for different "units" of media: term that encompasses most if not all of the following:

  • TV programs, talk shows, etc. from electronic media
  • Channels, profiles, pages, and posts from social media
  • Articles, news reports, and op-ed pieces from print media

One Answer

As per my comment, why not media? From Lexico:

media: (the media) [treated as singular or plural] The main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, and the internet) regarded collectively.

This collective term (note that the definition uses the word collectively) covers all three of your bulleted items, each of which involves an adjective modifying media.

If you'd prefer and alternative to media, you could us mass communications, as indicated in the definition of media and suggested by Ram Pillai.
