The medium is the message

" The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. The phrase was introduced in his most widely known book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man , published in 1964.

The Big Ideas podcast: The medium is the message

The writing of the Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday this Thursday, has entered popular jargon like that of few other modern intellectuals. Is there another line that has been quoted - and misquoted - as enthusiastically as 'the medium is the message'?

The Medium Is The Message - Smashing Magazine

Since the early days of communication, humanity has been captivated by the methods it uses to convey and preserve information. How we communicate with each other defines who we are and constitutes so much of what makes a culture and an individual unique.

Happy Medium Is the Message

In Smarter Than You Think, Clive Thompson finds the middle ground between digital utopians and Luddite naysayers N obody talks about "the Canadian mind" anymore. It seems absurd to think about our country having a unified intellectual tradition: we are ever-more saturated in global influences, indeed deep fried in spillover from the overheated empire to our south, and internally splintered along regional lines.

The medium is NOT the message

A proud claim to marketing fame for Canadians has always been Marshall McLuhan's 1964 aphorism, "The medium is the message." Pithy, famous, bold, and now it is wrong. While elements of this statement are still true, they are rapidly waning. This claim requires a pinch of backstory.

The Medium is the Message and Social Media

The Medium is the Message and Social Media
by Stephanie Goodman Those who have completed a degree in Communication Studies are all too familiar with the phrase, the medium is the message, by the famous Marshall McLuhan. Although McLuhan did not propose his theory in our era of the internet and social media, his theory applies none-the-less.

McLuhan Said "The Medium Is The Message"; Two Pieces Of Media Decode the Famous Phrase

For my money, "I don't necessarily agree with everything I say" tops the list of Marshall McLuhan-isms, followed closely and at times surpassed by "You don't like those ideas? I got others." Many prefer the immortal "You know nothing of my work!", the line McLuhan delivers during his brief appearance in Woody Allen's Annie Hall .

Step up, lucky customers. Author Margaret Atwood has something "very special" for you: an autographed limited edition of her new book, In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination, printed on paper made not from wood, but straw, "without any harmful impact on forests and their fragile ecosystems," according to the author.

The Medium Is Still the Message

Almost all of McLuhan's ideas from the period 1950 to 1979 have re-emerged as new trends. Media form an ecology in which every new medium that emerges impacts on every other existing medium. One can describe this trend as the importance of media ecology, a term McLuhan first formulated.

The medium is the message: Writing for the 21st century web
Theorist Marshall McLuhan, writing in his 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, coined the phrase "The medium is the message" to describe what he saw as the growing sophistication of content delivery systems. He posited that books, magazines, billboards, television programs and radio advertisements were all becoming so complex that their delivery methods were as important as their actual content.

The Medium Is the Message
For those who think technology is merely a tool: you're being fooled. Every time you read a newspaper, attend a church service, or go to a business meeting, you are not only absorbing a message; you are absorbing the medium. In other words, how you say something is as important as what you say.

On Facebook, the Medium Is the Message

As anyone who has been reading this site for sometime knows, I'm a big fan of McLuhan, especially his thinking around the message of media. I think Jonah Peretti from BuzzFeed nails McLuhan's point in this DigiDay interview: The biggest difference is in a Facebook world, it's more your reaction to content and how you interact with your friends around content than the informational value of the content.
