How do you define a copy of old media on the internet? Like NewYorkTimes site?
This article entitled "Old Media" is actually devoted to a discussion of new media. It lacks focus. Even if it was about traditional media (the term that is used in the marketing and advertising professions), it would simply replicate content that is more than adequately covered in a number of WP articles including: Advertising; Advertising management; Marketing communications and Traditional media among others. If we accept that an article that purports to be concerned with "old" media can actually discuss new media, then that subject matter ia also adequately covered elsewhere on Wikipedia including most of the preceding articles as well as New media; Digital media and others. This article adds to the value of nothing and is a good candidate for deletion. BronHiggs (talk) 01:45, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
I've noticed informally that radicals tend to use the term "legacy media", while more mainstream commentators call them the "mainstream media". For example, conservative commentators call the New York Times a part of the "legacy media", even though it has a very clear internet presence, including web video and a full-featured website and paywall. More research is needed I gather. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 08:03, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
"Old media institutions are centralized and communicate with one-way technologies to a (generally anonymous) mass audience."That sounds largely like NYT its parallels to me. I think that the main difference with new media is the typical openness of comments sections and the potentials afforded for dialogue when using platforms like YouTube. Looking at the Ngrams I suspect that the WP:COMMONname application is "legacy media" on the basis that books may use "old media" within sentence contexts such as giving advice on how to convert your old media files. It may take someone digging to find if there is a scholarly or similar base for the usage of these terms. GregKaye 16:39, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
