Define Text & Media in a context of Semiotic

In my understanding of semiotic studies, text is an assemblage of signs such as words, images, sounds or gestures constructed and interpreted with reference to the conventions associated with a genre and in a particular medium of communication. While, Media is a tools or medium for a sign to be carried out. For example, radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books, photographs, hand sign and more.

What do you think?
