Media is / media are

Doing an assignment for school and I'm rather confused...

The news media is/are not to blame for the current political atmosphere.

Media is plural, right? But both sound right to me. Please help!

'Media' is plural but is also used for one medium. In your case, you are speaking of several, so use 'are'.
