Industries that are generally considered part of the old media are broadcast and cable television, movie and music studios, newspapers, books and most print publications. Many of those industries are now less profitable than they used to be and this is has been attributed to the growth of the new media. Generally the term is used in contrast with "new media", and it suggests a number of theses relating to the role of the internet.
