What is the difference between Advertising and Media?

Advertising is a way of communicating some messages, while media is the medium through which communication to the mass market is carried out. Always in advertising, the action is required from the target audience, but with media, not every communication requests a response. Media includes radio, tv, magazines, and websites, while advertising may consist of some subject matter in the media types.

Advertising pertains to the means of communication by which the advertiser tries to persuade their intended audience to take a service, or to purchase a product. The motive of advertising is to generate sales. The vehicle through which advertising is made is referred to as the media.
