Clash of Media
New Media vs. Old
Media, who do we think is winning in our modern time? Before I start this essay
of mine. It still sinks in my mind when a task was given by one of our college professor
of thinking about, what is New Media and what is Old Media. What are examples
of New Media and Old Media? How do they differ from each other? What can New
and Old media help us in our modern time and if new media and old media can
work together? These questions quite helped in completing my thoughts about New
Media and Old Media. I asked Google about the questions that sink in to my mind.
Then results showed articles, pdf files and news about New Media and Old media.
Even videos about New Media vs. Old Media, they even make an explanation. New
Media or either they called it “Social Media” in our present time. It clearly enumerates
the examples of New Media are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Televisions,
newspapers, radio and magazines are some of the examples of Old Media.
Now
let’s talk about Old Media , such as radios, televisions, newspapers and
magazines. They are still in a growing competition from interactive online
media. Listeners, readers and viewers around the globe are going online for
their news. Not likely before reading news, people waited for their morning papers
and just sat down in the dining room with hot cup of coffee. We can imagine
that people now a day are not using any more news papers. They just turn on the
computer and access on the internet and just search for the latest news of the day.
About televisions, in my opinion, for an example, “the education movies for
children”, in television we can manage and observe the positive effects for
their movie education. Now on our modern time, YouTube can be not be a movie
education. Why? Because there are many videos not appropriate for a child. He
or she might find movies that are not yet for their age, their education is
going to be a problem for his or her parents. We may say that their also good
movies for children in YouTube. Radios, all we can do is to listen to the
radio. It might be boring for just only listening; there are no animations we
can see. But by using a radio, we can easily understand of the message.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube are a part of New Media. Because they are
social networking site. People are now more attached to social media than to Old
Media. In terms of its global awareness
to the public. New Media can help us to make effortless to the searching of
ideas and creativity. One factor that makes New Media not a safe for research purposes.
Because, people can now publish their own books articles and news without publications
from publication offices. Because we can see books from Facebook and other
social Media . It is still reliable for research papers are publish books,
articles and new. New Media can be help in finding books. New Media and Old
Media, who is actually winning in this
modern time, some side. New Media is winning
and some part of old media is winning. Maybe they have their own strength
and weaknesses over each other.
