OLD VS. NEW

How do we distinguish “new media” from “old” media? List and explain several ways to do this
Old media is traditional media, like books, TV, radio, newspapers, journalism, film, photography. New media are things that are new, in a technological sense. Basically the old media used to come in and still come in hard copies, and whether we like it or not, we still have paper books, news paper, radio and some others. Thus, old media haven’t changed completely and a lot of people tend to prefer the old media over the new media. The new media is audio, video, blogs, podcast, and text publication methods and tools that were previously inaccessible for publication purposes to the average person in the past. We also have in the new media, social networks that are a very important part of the new media. For instance, facebook, my space, twitter, tagged among others. Social media is interactive media, since the tools that enable social media didn’t exist before. You can blog, podcast, crank out videos on YouTube, host Blog Talk Radio shows, etc. all by yourself and no one else has to be involved for you to be creating useful media.
