Interested in teaching, less interested in research

Currently pursuing a master's degree in media that is heavily research-focused. I have no problem with my research or the field I'm in, but I prefer plain old teaching over teaching and research. I was contemplating applying to schools for a PhD once I graduate, but I'm wondering if I need to. Can I teach at the university level without one? I understand PhD programs are heavily rooted in research, which again I have no problem with doing, but I'm wondering if this path is necessary if I'm interested more in teaching.

Technically you can teach intro classes with an MA. You will almost certainly not be hired though because everyone else applying for those positions will have a PhD.

You may have some luck at a Community College. 

Realistically, if you even get classes, they will only be adjunct level so you will need other income unless you can get a ton of classes.
