Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term is a modern compound blending 'media', derived from the Latin plural of medium (middle, instrument of communication), originating in English in the mid-20th century, with 'neglect', stemming from the Latin 'neglectus' (past participle of negligere, meaning 'to not pick up' or 'disregard'), entering English in the late 16th century. Together, the compound has evolved in sociological and communication studies to describe the systematic underreporting, omission, or disregard of specific events, groups, or issues by mainstream communication channels.
