Question

Is "New" media really different?

So what do you think? Thinking about the ads you viewed and the readings, videos, and audio on "new" media, is the environment and conditions women face in “new” media really that different from “old” media? How? Why or why not?

Answer 1

New media is absolutely different from the past when stress was given only on the importance of the print media. Today, the importance of the electronic media is really more. On the other hand, to the people the role of media has been increased. Now both the electronic media and the print media work together in effective ways. Today new media includes print media, news media, social media etc.

With the advancement of technology the role of media has been increased. It is absolutely commercial and now the press is more business than responsibility. Now, the reporters are always with camera and they capture any event directly. Sometimes live telecast also takes place. People are more effective and any news spread so rapidly. Today we can easily get the help of media and we can easily express ourselves and our problems with the help of media.

In the new media the role of women is also very important. Women play major role in collecting news and in the media we also find great role in preserving the status and position of the women. It is true that for the New media, we can easily protest against any type of injustice.   

Now, the new media is great success in doing business. Therefore advertisement is an essential part of media. Even in the middle of serious news and interview there is advertisement and in different times the value of advertisement is different. In the past media would be honored more due to its impartiality and responsibility. But now, it can be influenced by organization or individual and its role raises questioned on its reliability and confidentiality.
