(@media || $media) =  Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media->list($param);
    returns a list or list ref of media objects that match the criteria defined

    Supported Keys:

    title
        The title of the media document. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    name
        Same as "title".

    description
        Media Document description. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    id  The media document ID. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    uuid
        The media document UUID. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    exclude_id
        A media document ID to exclude from the list. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    version
        The media document version number. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    version_id
        The ID of a version of a media document. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    file_name
        The media document file name. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    user_id
        Returns the versions that are checked out by the user, otherwise returns the most recent version. May use "ANY" for a list of possible values.

    checked_out

When a media document is checked out, there are two instances of the current version: the one checked in last, and the one currently being edited. When the "checked_in" parameter is a true value, then the instance last checked in is returned, rather than the instance currently checked out. This is useful for users who do not currently have a media document checked out and wish to see the media document as of the last check in, rather than as currently being worked on in the current checkout. If a media document is not currently checked out, this parameter has no effect.
