Assignment #3: The Interaction Between Digital Network Media, Publishing, & Society

By Jonathan Krywulak

 

The emergence of digital network media has transformed the 21^st century society and its relationship with publishing institutions.   The expression and perception of social identities has been shaped by new forms of technology that spans cultural spheres and geographical boundaries allowing communication from many to many.  The increased speed, convenience and interactivity of new media have blurred the distinction between consumers and producers, providing people with the ability to be in control of their own media world.
