**Mainstream Media** refers to traditional media outlets that are widely recognized and accepted, including major newspapers, television networks, and radio stations. These media channels are typically characterized by their broad reach and influence, often shaping public opinion and providing news coverage that is considered standard or conventional.
Etymology
The term “mainstream” originates from the literal sense of “the main stream,” referring to the dominant or prevailing current of a river. In a metaphorical sense, it describes ideas or practices that are widely accepted or prevalent in society. “Media” comes from the Latin “medius,” meaning “middle,” and in this context refers to channels of communication. Combining these terms, “mainstream media” denotes widely accepted and dominant media channels.

In journalism, mainstream media (MSM) is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence many people and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought. The term is used to contrast with alternative media.
The term is often used for large news conglomerates, including newspapers and broadcast media, that underwent successive mergers in many countries. The concentration of media ownership has raised concerns of a homogenization of viewpoints presented to news consumers. Consequently, the term mainstream media has been used in conversation and the blogosphere, sometimes in oppositional, pejorative or dismissive senses, in discussion of the mass media and media bias.
