New media is the form of media that is newer and more current than traditional media, traditional media would be things like the newspaper, radio, television, while new media is stuff like Youtube, Netflix, Spotify. The main differences between old media and new media is new media is on demand while old media is not, new media is interactive while old media is not, and new media can also be used as a way to communicate. Media consumption is fragmented by how much time people spend using different apps or services per day.

Methods someone could use to consume credible media is if they are on a news website for example, look for things that would prove it’s credible, “I always ask students to check the bottom of the webpage to see if the information has been submitted for ownership” (
