Spanish term or phrase: medio
Es una pregunta medio boba pero no estoy encontrando respuestas satisfactorias (consulté en otros dos foros)

Quiero referirme en singular a un medio (revista, canal, cartel de vía pública, radio). El plural sale directo y suena perfecto: la compra de medios: media buy, pero...¿cuando hablo de cada medio en particular?


Así:


En caso de que algún MEDIO demandara judicial o extrajudicialmente a PPPPP por falta de pago de los espacios publicitarios adquiridos a raíz de una orden de pedido colocada por OOOO

Media entity? No me satisfacen ni mis ideas ni las propuestas que recibí. ¿Algún iluminado para esta pregunta, en apariencia tan simple?

Muchas Gracias!!

The print and broadcast media are out of control with stories of blah blah blah

One print medium we should examine are newspapers.

Otherwise,Au, you have to say:

publications
OR
communications medium [like a billboard in the street]

From your context, you should see whether:
publication is right.

This is about print advertizers??

Then, the answer is PUBLICATION [magazine or newspaper] OR publisher OR another CATEGORY...see what I mean?

Hope this helps

You could also say: media company...

the question is: who do they mean exactly? Sounds to me like

media company might fit the bill....if not print...if print, then just PUBLICATION

agree  Russell Gillis: I like communications medium - it is very generic. On its own, "medium" can also mean a person who communicates with the dead. :)
