Usage Note

Mediático is a modern adjective describing anything related to or shaped by the media: cobertura mediática (media coverage), figura mediática (media personality). It can carry a slightly pejorative nuance implying that something is more about media spectacle than substance — un juicio mediático (a trial turned into a media circus). It is not an equivalent of English 'mediated'.

Examples

"El caso tuvo un gran impacto mediático en todo el país."

Natural Translation

The case had a great media impact throughout the country.
