Hi,

On the other hand it could be used as an adjective describing 'media' but then you'd have to say 'magazine' - well, it's just a thought.

Hi, Alan

If I understand you correctly, you meant to say "uncountable noun" not "adjective", didn't you?

Hi Tom,

Not really - I meant you would use the same construction as in 'print journalism' whereby print takes on a descriptive role. Similalrly you would say radio journalism or television journalism.
