EXAMPLE:

Old Media

Source 1: E-Book

"Old media is arcane in terms of being historically superseded by digital media, and in being subject to distortion by the passage of time".

Kirkland, E. 2010. p. 247. In: Billias, N. (Ed.) 2010. Promoting and Producing Evil. [E-Book] Rudopi. Amsterdam, Netherlands. Available at: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TsHbw1FfQx4C&lpg=PP1&dq=Promoting%20and%20Producing%20Evil&pg=PA247#v=onepage&q&f=false [Accessed 8 February 2011]

Found online using the Advanced Search function on Google Scholar to search for the exact phrase "old media" purely within books and articles in the Socials Sciences, Arts and Humanities area. I used Google Scholar as it narrows the search to purely academic and reliable sources.

Source 2: Book

"Old media are not being displaced. Rather, their functions and status are shifted by the introduction of new technologies".

Jenkins, H. 2006. p. 14. Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide. NYU Press, New York.

Found in a library by using their in-house computer search to narrow down their vast selection of books to those on a relevant subject, and then looking specifically for those involving "old media".

Source 3: Website

"A non-derogatory term used to describe the traditional media: print, television, radio, and sometimes film."

Saila, C. 2011. Definition of Old Media. [Online] Available at: http://www.saila.com/glossary/oldmedia [Accessed 14 February 2011].

Found via a Google Search for "definition of old media". I chose this website over other online dictionary definitions of "old media" as it has an identifiable author.
