    Media is more audio, video, image. Which fits social media.

    Most forums and blogs are text-based or primary text. There is no blog sharing only images/videos/audio as posts. Also no such forum.

    That would be my key differentiation - forums and IRC is social, but not really media.

      Printed media is definately media, and so are blogs. The social part of it is how people can interact with it.
