WSJ Social Networking Site
The WSJ has started its own social networking site. Here's a link to a review.
What is New Media?
New Media encompasses a vast range of technologies and unique characteristics. In Professor Friedman's "The New Media Technologies: Overview and Research Framework" are five critical characteristics of new media technologies (the five c's).
The five C's: communication, collaboration, community, creativity and convergence all help differentiate new media from old.
New media engages and liberates the user from an audience member to an active participant. There can be a much more personal relationship with new media than with old.

Old Media's use of New Media To Stay Competitive and Relevant
That is my working title of my CIS 3810 Term Project.
The project will focus on the future of "old media."
Old media is embracing many new media technologies to stay relevant in these highly competitive times. In the project, I will analyze how old media is adapting to and influencing new media with examples from radio, television and print.
I'd be happy to receive any comments or links related to this topic.

Good morning all,
This is my first post to my new blog. It is part of my CIS 3810 "Principles of New Media" class at Baruch College in NYC. For my term project I plan to research and discuss the future of "old" media. We have been discussing the topic "what is 'old' and 'new' media in class and have come up with lists of each to help define them.
I think what would also be helpful is to define the term "media." I found at dictionary.com this definition: the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely.
I find it interesting that an online dictionary lists only 'old' media in its definition.
Thanks for reading and all comments are welcome!
