Traditional media refers to conventional communication methods that have been used for decades, including newspapers, radio, and television. However, in recent years the way we consume media has changed significantly, leading to alternative forms such as digital media, social media, and online publishing. Synonyms for traditional media include mainstream media, legacy media, old media, or analogue media. New media refers to the alternative forms of media, while digital media encompasses all the electronically-based media, which includes both new and traditional media. It is important to note that traditional media still plays a critical role in news and information dissemination and remains a staple in journalism.
