Project Description

Hello.

Topic: The Future of Old Media

Summary: I will primarily focusing on old media that has changed over time. For instance, the evolution of newpapers, magazines, and books (perhaps include radio, but I am interested in the transformation of print to Internet).  Each form of old media will explore their historical significance to society (politically, economically, and socially), then explain how society changed to new media (politically, economically, and socially).  For example: Printed newspapers were professional mediums of plainly sending news to people (war, politics, and social movements).  Today, the news are presented via e-text, and can be seen by virtually anyone who has access to the Internet.  In addition, news has become more personal through blogging/vlogging, and journalism is done my both professional and amateur writers.  News can be provided at Live-stream (real-time) such as a speech by Barack Obama or the Superbowl.  Basically, I will distinguish between old media and new media, their significance to society, and end with how it will impact our future (creative thinking required).

  1. Yes. As you mention, the most impacted media is old media such as newspapers, magazines and books. I am really curious about how these industries will be turn out in the future. Since more people interact with new media today, I like to know how all the old media companies will service or transform in the future.

  2. New Media has been definitely impacting our lives for a while but dot't you think that old media still did not lose its voice. New Media derived from it and it is still uncertain whether or not it replaces the old one completely.

  3. I agree with Marina, old media has not lost its voice, but it continues to evolve and integrate with new media. How many times do you watch the news and they will say something about following the news anchors on Twitter? Old media is finding a way to keep its framework, but evolve to some degree.
