New Media Vs. Old Media

Times have changed and with the rise of YouTube and more social media sites on the Internet we have seen a change in how media works. The past few years have changed the landscape of broadcasting as more and more people have started to see how sites such as YouTube, catch up services and social media can be used.
When was the last time you sat down for longer than 2 hours to watch TV?
For me it has been a while since i have watched television as i have been able to get the media content that i need from the Internet and apps on my tablet PC.
YouTube has grown to become the best video/ media service on the Internet as you will find everything you will ever need on one site and with a few clicks of the the mouse. The great thing about YouTube is the types of content and the creators, to put it simply:
YouTube content is created by the people for the people, Anyone who wants to created a video can make on and upload it meaning everyone can express themselves freely...
Old media is not as open as this new form of expression and only opens it self up to certain people who can work in television. Old media has lost its edge and like everything else is being replaced by a bigger and better system. Old media such as newspapers and radio have also lost the market share as more and more people read the papers online and on apps for tablets and Ipads This has led advertising shifting towards the online market in recent years as companies have found that there is more success in online marketing and advertising as the audience of old media have move in to the new age of online viewing of papers, news, home grown content and online media.
