I know there is a word in Russian that describes all the print media — пресса. Is there any word in Russian that would describe only radio and television?

    Is there such a term in English?

    In English you can say "broadcast media". It's a bit clunky but people do use it - it gets about 8.5 million Google hits. A bit less clunky but less precise is "broadcasting", which is much more common.

    Есть ли слово в русском языке, чтобы описать только радио и телевидение? Я могу ответить на этот вопрос с точки зрения носителя русского языка с тонким слухом на слова. Термин "телерадиовещание" - верный ответ на заданный вопрос. Но это слово из официального языка (газетного, телевизионного), и даже в газетах, на телевидении и на радио оно употребляется очень редко... Это правильный, редко употребляемый термин. Вызвавшее такое бурное одобрение слово "эфир" в разговорной речи и в СМИ практически не употребляется. Это, скорее, сугубо профессиональное слово работников телевидения и радио, и кроме

    Никто в России не называет словом "эфир" телевидение и радио (ни вместе, ни по отдельности). Никто не употребляет слово "зфир" для обозначения теле- или радиопередач (говорят "я смотрел вчера вечером по TV", но НЕ говорят "я смотрел в вечернем эфире"). Это профессиональное слово работников TV и радио. У них есть словосочетания "утренний, дневной, вечерний эфир", "работать в прямом эфире", "эфирное время", "мы уходим из эфира" и т.п. Но это уже практически профессиональный жаргон. Ещё только журналисты изредка используют слово "эфир" в своих статьях. Слово "эфир" - мало употребляемое.

There's also the noun эфир (lit. ‘ether’), which can be used to refer to both radio and TV (including Internet video streams). В эфире means ‘on air’, в прямом эфире is for ‘live on air’, and you can say something like:

Его жестоко ругали и в прессе, и в эфире

‘He has been harshly criticized in the press as well as on air’

I don't know any word or phrase that specifically describes radio and television. The more general term for all the media is

средства массовой информации (or simply СМИ, pronounsed /smi/ rather than /es-em-i/)

Things that pertain to radio and TV are usually called using something like "радио и телевидение" . E.g.

Музей телевидения и радио

Институт телевидения и радиовещания.

The closest thing that I can think of is broadcast, which would be translated to Russian as

вещание

Or, if you want to be more specific about it:

теле- и радиовещание.

You can use "эфирные медиа" or "эфирные сми" but it is not a widespread phrase.

  • Interesting... I never heard either of the two phrases, however individually each word is commonly known.
