New Media Revealed.
New Media is different than traditional media because traditional media isn’t on demand, on demand means that you can control on your command. An Example of on demand media is Netflix, YouTube, etc. Also new media is interactive whereas traditional media is not interactive, for instance, social media, where you can like and comment on someone’s post and Direct Message your friends. In brief, New media is more interactive and on demand. Unfortunately, New media is also the reason why media consumption is fragmented, for instance, an average teen usually spends outstanding amount time on social media even though we shouldn’t. We should be spending an average of two hours on social media a day, but the average teenager spends around 5 hours. Even though we spend too much time using the media, there are still healthier ways to use the media, an example would be using a time schedule to spend your time wisely on different parts of the media, or even spending more time using media to its advantage than just consuming media, Another healthier alternative is listening to instrumental music when you are working, or looking at reliable news platforms, some ways to detect an unreliable source is using the C.R.A.P technique, is the content current? Is the author or company reputable? Who is the author? What is the purpose or point of the information? In summary, there are many websites that are difficult to tell if it is fake and it’s difficult to separate real websites from fake websites, but you can use the C.R.A.P test to your advantage to verify if some news is fake.
