--- layout: docs title: Media object description: Documentation and examples for Bootstrap's media object to construct highly repetitive components like blog comments, tweets, and the like. group: layout --- The [media object](http://www.stubbornella.org/content/2010/06/25/the-media-object-saves-hundreds-of-lines-of-code/) helps build complex and repetitive components where some media is positioned alongside content that doesn't wrap around said media. Plus, it does this with only two required classes thanks to flexbox. ## Contents * Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc} ## Example Below is an example of a single media object. Only two classes are required—the wrapping `.media` and the `.media-body` around your content. Optional padding and margin can be controlled through [spacing utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/utilities/spacing/). {% example html %}
