News media
The news media is a term used to describe print media (newspapers, magazines); broadcast media (radio stations, television stations, television networks), and often Internet-based media (World Wide Web pages, weblogs).
Usually the term includes all working journalists and is often used by those who would make generalizations about the product of "most" journalists, for example that journalists who work for large media corporations, or who are based in New York City or Washington, D.C, harbor a liberal (or conservative) bias.
Criticism of the term
The term, however, has been criticized because the "news media" do not operate as a single entity, which tends to attribute a wide range of media phenomena to one label.
