New Media and Social Media • Under new media and social media, communication is not necessarily relational but issue-and interest-based instead. • New Media, with the help of technology has helped transformed the notion of a community based on geography to a community based on interest, from citizens to netizens. • Blogging and social networking, the most prominent forms of social media, tend to resemble a typical mass media style in the sense that there is impersonality, no privacy, nor specific recipient of the message nor obligation to respond. Yet, it has the provision for concerned people to respond and sustain a discussion and exchange of views in a two-way style. This can be done on line and in real time using instant messaging. New media and Social media have also challenged the profession of communication and ethics of communication. It is not regulated by members of the profession but by the discourse of participants. There is more self-censorship than professional and public censorship since participants can choose to go by any name, may portray a self-image and they may choose to remain anonymous. -They have also redefined participatory democracy with new political implications. Open debates and consensus on issues are increasingly sought and achieved through new media and social media.
