There are some words in English when you are not completely sure if it's single or plural form of a word. And even if you are sure about that, you never know how you should treat it.
For example, word "media." It's definitely plural form of the word "medium." But if you google for "mass media" you'll find it's used as both singular (mass media is) or as plural (mass media are).
Another word is "news." There's no new as a noun (we do have it though in Russian). But then... is it singular or plural? Should I say "the great news is" or "the great news are"?
I'm in a need of help! So if my dear reader knows, could he/she be so kind to explain it to me?
