SOME OF THE KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
TRADICIONAL AND NEW MEDIA
THE WAY IT IS PRODUCED: Traditional media is typically produced by large media
companies, while new media is often produced by individuals or small groups.
THE WAY IT IS CONSUMED: Traditional media is generally consumed passively, while new
media is often consumed actively.
TRADITIONAL MEDIA:
Has the advantage of being well-established and having a wide reach. It also generally has
more credibility than new media, as it is seen as being more trustworthy and less biased.
However, traditional media can be quite expensive to produce and distribute, and it can be
difficult to target a specific audience.
NEW MEDIA:
New media has the advantage of being more affordable and easier to produce and distribute.
It is also more accessible, as people can access it from anywhere in the world with an Internet
connection. Additionally, new media is often more engaging than traditional media, as it
encourages active participation and interaction. However, new media can sometimes be seen as
less credible than traditional media, as anyone can produce and distribute it.
The advancement of tecnologies makes young people spend more and more time in front of a screen.
