Etymology
ΜΜΕ is a modern Greek initialism, not an inherited word. It stands for Μέσα Μαζικής Ενημέρωσης, literally Means of Mass Information, and entered common use in the twentieth century as radio, television, and the press grew into a recognized sector. Because it is built from the first letters of three separate words, it has no single ancient root of its own.
