New Media is the 20th century terminology that encompasses on-demand access through digital applications to transfer information potentially to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Some examples of new media technologies are Youtube, Ipods, podcasts, blogs, DVD-HD-blueray, Ipads, digital books such as kindle, social networking such as facebook, and search engines such as google. New media provides the ability for the consumer to choose how they receive their information and how they interact with it.
Distinquishing new media from old media basically deals with speed to accessibility and it's interactive capability in real time. Old media technology is newspapers, local television news and radio. New media is digital while old media is physical. New media relays events as they occur, while old media gives a point of view or opinion based on an interpretation.
