How do Media Companies use Widgets?

Widgets are self-contained portable components that run on web pages. Widgets can include text, image, sound, and video components and are portable, meaning site visitors can add them to their own web pages, blogs, start pages, and social network profiles.

Media companies use widgets to extend their brands, to syndicate and monetize their content on other web sites.
