medias
- 1Plural of media. Proscribed: media is itself usually treated as plural or as a mass noun, so careful writers avoid medias.
The campaign spread its message across multiple medias, from print to streaming video.
Some galleries reward artists who experiment with unconventional medias.
Note
A plural built on a plural: media already serves as a plural of medium, so the extra -s stacks a second plural ending on the first. Careful writers and editors treat it as an error. It turns up mostly in informal or commercial writing that handles media as a singular count noun. In edited prose, write multiple media or unconventional media, since the bare word already carries the plural.
