Assignment #3: Old and New Media Power Struggle





We explore, through 2 interviews with Dr Henry Jenkins, how digital network media has shifted the power from traditional publishing institutions to society. News is no longer delivered only by newspapers. Rather, because of the internet, we are in a convergence culture where new media users participate and collaborate in creating news, or spreadable media, that moves from grass roots communication through out society.
