DEF

Médium, lorsque celui-ci transforme ou adapte un autre médium en vue de le diffuser.

CONT

La télévision est un médium difficile à cerner, elle est multiforme, [...] elle est un «contenant» comme la radio, servant à télédiffuser d'autres média-spectacles comme le cinéma, le théâtre, le sport. Mais un contenant actif qui transforme l'ancien médium qu'elle diffuse; par exemple le film télévisé avec son image réduite et ses interruptions publicitaires est autre chose que du cinéma.
