wouldn't it be better to say: "a format carrying information"? and, btw, what does information imply? What medium is the context?

Plural mediums vs. media[edit]

Some senses only take one plural, e.g. two medium coffees cannot be ordered as "two media please". We need to explain this. Equinox 15:51, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
