Media is the plural for medium. It has quite a few definitions but the one that you may be referring to is: a means, or instrument by which something is conveyed.

The common use of "the media" means the instruments by which most of us get our information, in other words, the news media. News media can mean television, newspapers, internet, radio, magazines, or books.

These forms of media have a degree of influence, or try to, on how people think, will watch on TV, and whom to vote for. The news media can be found to try to directly influence peoples' minds by the news they present or news they leave out. TV, internet, newspapers, and radio run commercials on products & services to buy. They try to influence consumers. There are more examples that can be mentioned here, however, I tried to cover most of them.
