Old vs. New

Not a lot of people know this, but there is a various distinction between 'old' media and 'new' media. Old media consists newspapers, magazines, journals, etc. New media consists of blogs,YouTube and amateur videos,wikis, etc. Old media can be described as one-way communication because what we have on there is what we get, in other words it is static. For example, in paper encyclopedias, all of the information that we have from there is what we get, no new information can be added by anyone or yourself until a new edition comes out. However in new media, it is more dynamic and interactive than old media. An example of a new media version of an encyclopedia is Wikipedia, which has information as vast as an encyclopedia, but it keeps building upon itself every day and it is built by the people and yourself.
