online media

Web-based publications

Online media is content distributed through the internet rather than traditional channels like print, broadcast, or physical formats.

It encompasses news websites, streaming services, social platforms, podcasts, and digital publications.

The term often contrasts with legacy media: Online media has transformed how people consume news.

Unlike traditional media's one-way flow, online media typically allows interaction—comments, shares, user-generated content.
