Week Three

Week Three
New Media

Last week we learnt about 'old media' and found out that old media refers to things like television, radio, newspapers, books and magazines- things which are produced by one company and sold to people to give them information. This week we will take a look at 'new media' and try to find out how it is different than old media.

So what is different about NEW MEDIA? Well one of the biggest differences is interactivity- that is people can write, record, video, comment on, post, film, and create new information. This lets lots of different sorts of people share ideas- not just journalists, but mums, dads, kids, teachers, teenagers, everyone who has access to the internet!
