I think they are. I doubt any newspaper articles use it to refer to the median, at least I've never seen them use it like that. Do you have any examples?

Almost every discussion about average salary or iq uses median. Even finding results for mean salary is difficult. The first page of results for mean us salary gives a list of results for average, many of which specify they are actually the median.
