The word "midia" is often misspelled as "media," but there is a difference in their meanings. "Midia" is the plural form of "medium," whereas "media" refers to various forms of communication, such as TV, radio, and newspapers. To correctly spell "midia," we use IPA phonetic transcription: /ˈmɪdiə/. The stress is on the first syllable (/ˈmɪ/) and the "a" at the end is pronounced as a schwa (/ə/). Remembering this helps avoid confusion with the more commonly used "media."
