I’ve enjoyed taking a closer look at topics such as the development of new media, interactivity, the evolution of social media, and the importance of an online presence to journalism. Exploring these topics has forced me to stop and consider the incredible digital revolution going on around me that I often take for granted. My attitude on these topics has shifted from complacency to a realization that I need to be aware of the changing media landscape in order to keep up once I graduate. The most surprising discovery from my experiences this semester is the ease with which practically anyone can publish information online in the form of a blog, a website, or even a podcast. This signals a major shift from a time when news agencies controlled the flow of information to the public. In the coming years, technology and media will continue to advance and change and new topics of discussion will need to address the effectiveness and the future of the new media.
