"what is media?"

I was not accustomed to such a question...
Professor said "media is a medium between paint and canvas"..
If so, What is media's role??

I think, the massmedia can explain that question.

They are necessary for life in recent society.

hmm...
I can not explain between media and human, but I could know their relationships in small...

and
flankly speaking, I don't remember middle part of lecture ..
western culture...post modernism....
