we need a new word for mainstream media, it's been appropriated by the mainstream media.

  I think "popular media" or "general interest news" work in this context.

    'Corporate media' perhaps?
    • Benjo 16y ago
      I think their corporate nature is incidental. Wired is a corporate media. Perez Hilton is not. This has more to do with getting technical details correct then being a corporation. So maybe "non-technical media" is the term we want?

        Popular media, in analogy to popular science, is a pretty good term.

      I don't know. As an example for a bad fit: The Economist is as corporate as you can get, but not really mainstream.
