There’s more to news media than meets the eye .



So here I was thinking that news media was all about social networking sites like facebook, twitter and you tube but boy was I wrong. After reading chapter one and two of The introduction to new media I was enlightened.
New media as it turns out is more than social networking sites  or on-line news websites , it also consists of the 3C’s (Communication , Computing and Content ).New media can also be thought of as digital media.

It was interesting to know that the internet came about because there was an emergence and mass popularization so people saw that there was a need for the internet. usage has been on the rise especially in Africa .
New media  and the use the internet creates immediacy , such technological advances create “borderless” communication whereas people from all across the world can communicate with each other despite the time and the geographical location they find themselves in.
