New media is a fast paced approach of news that makes information easy to consume in mass quantities. It is visually stimulating and presented in a short, user-friendly fashion that keeps the attention of our ever-decreasing attention spans. It makes news and information easily available any time and any place. New media allows the audience to decide which news they choose read, listen to or watch.
After reviewing the list of web sites, I think it is important to add that a main component of new media its interactive abilities. Not only can the audience pick and choose which stories they review, but they also have options to respond to stories, email them to friends, and decide the fashion in which they review the stories- most have options of print, still photos, video and audio. New media allows the viewer chooses how in depth they wish to receive a story. It uses multi media approaches to grasp the attention of the audience in a variety of ways, whichever way suites each individual viewer.
