    This document discusses the rise of new media and its impact on mass communication. New media, which uses digital technologies like the internet and social media, has changed communication by allowing information to spread rapidly to huge volumes of people and facilitating more interaction. However, new media also has downsides like the spread of misinformation if fact-checking is insufficient. Users must also be aware of biases, echo chambers, and potential political agendas of large tech companies that could shape what information people see. The conclusion is that while new media has increased reach, internet users need to carefully evaluate information sources and not fall prey to misinformation.

    The Rise of New Media


    What is New Media?
    Definition: means of mass
    communication using
    digital technologies such
    as the Internet.

    blogs, social media

    media one day?
    Can people live without social media now?
    What will be the most popular internet platform in the
    next 10 years

    How new media changed mass communication

    Speed

    Volume

    Interaction

    So, what are the cons?

    Misinformation and outright lying


    Genuine mistake during
    competition for breaking
    news
    Not enough fact-checking
    Everyone can spread
    misinformation/lies

    More clickbaits, less information


    Anything can be written into articles
    Online media sources battle for your
    clicks by using sensational or
    provocativeheadlines
    In-depth analysis are few and far
    between

    Beware of bias and hidden agendas

    Confirmation bias on the internet


    Afaf

    Confirmation bias on the internet


    Definition: individuals unconsciously misperceive or
    distort information to support their current beliefs or
    attitudes on a subject.
    Echo chamber: information are amplified or reinforced
    by repetition inside an "enclosed" system, where
    different or competing views aredisallowed
    Facebook users tended to choose and share stories
    containing messages they accept, and to neglect those
    they reject.

    Does Facebook has a political agenda?


    In May 2016, Facebook was accused of
    intentionally suppressing conservative
    articles from appearing on trending topics
    Facebook denied allegations of political bias
    A few months later, the trending team was
    replaced by algorithms

    Discussion
    How do you separate truth from lies on the internet
    Are Facebook, Google, etc. neutral tech companies as
    they claim, or they actively try to shape the way people
    think?
    Do you think your opinions are heavily influenced by social
    media?

    Conclusion
    New media is on the rise
    New media reach millions of people in matter of seconds
    and facilitate massive interaction
    Internet users should be cautious not to fall prey to
    misinformation, and be aware of their own biases, as
    well as giant tech companies agendas
