Old v. New

The way to distinguish new media from old media is by analyzing a few main characteristics that the form of media has. For one, the way a person would go about receiving the form of media has a lot to do with distinguishing the two forms of media. One of the main reasons that the new media is so revolutionary is because it is so easy to access it through the internet in addition to other ways, that more people have embraced it. On the other hand with old media, though it is not difficult to access it, there is still some effort that has to be made in order to retrieve the information that the person wants. In addition, much if not all of the new media is digitalized and can be retrieved in the comfort of people’s homes. As opposed to old media like newspapers which only last one day and must be bought at local stores.
