Line 4:
However, since this wiki and its predecessor were started, the entire media landscape has changed -- everything has digital distribution, and you can get everything on your smartphone. Which, to be honest, you probably use less for voice communications than browsing the 'Net these days.
The consequence of this is that All The Tropes, a '''medium''' really refers to a [[genre]] as much as a physical form. Pages about actual media types (DVDs, books, etc.) are tracked at [[:Category:Formats]]. Sorry about that,
* [[Comic
* [[Newspaper Comics]] refer to short [[Sequential Art]] used for gags, though this overlaps with the above
* [[Video Games]] refers to all media which are primarily interactive, and are typically games. Other genres have limited interactivity.
* [[Television]] refers to serial audiovisual programs, usually made at least four at a time, and depicting live humans.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[Film]] refers to longer audiovisual media, typically longer than 1½ hours. May be serial, but loosely so, or having its installments released to the public more than a month apart.
* [[Music]] refers to audio media, with the artistic arrangement of sound.
* [[Radio]] refers to audio media primarily using the spoken word. Probably{{verify}} includes [[Podcast]]s.
You'll see other categories on the wiki like [[Professional Wrestling|Wrestling]] or [[Sports]] which are self-explanatory. There are also categories like [[New Media]] and [[Web Video]] which are more handwavy.
