I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'newspapers etc' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'aimed to distribute' is the wordplay.
'to distribute' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'distributed' mean this).
'aimed' with letters rearranged gives 'MEDIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?
