New media is a term that cannot be neatly defined. It encompasses an array of tools that are used for the purposes of entertainment, socializing, and much, much more. Forms of new media ubiquitous in our society include online social networking websites, blogs, and video sharing. This includes MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogger, YouTube, Twitter, et cetera.
New Media is also a means of relaying information. Print newspapers and magazines, like the New York Times and Time Magazine respectively, can now be viewed online. And, their websites are always updated by the minute. Unarguably, new media is faster, more efficient and, dare I say, better way of communication. It reaches people across cities, states, and countries in the blink of an eye. The only downside to new media is that you're always being overwhelmed with new information.
