Old vs. New

There are a few ways to distinguish between old and new media. First off new media is a much faster means of communications. For example, the news can be reported within minutes after it happens on the internet as opposed to old media where you would have to wait for the newspaper to come out or wait till 6pm or 10 pm for to watch the news on television. For the news anyone can report it, if you are a journalist, or even just a blogger. This gives opportunities to everyone to express themselves. New media provides a faster way of access, for example if you want a certain song you can go online and download it, as opposed to old media, you would need to buy the CD. New Media has also enhanced shopping. If you can't find a item in stores, you can just online to Ebay or Amazon and download it.
