new media platforms

New media platforms are online spaces that allow people to create, share, and interact with content in various forms, such as text, images, audio, and video. Examples include social media sites like Facebook and Instagram, video-sharing platforms like YouTube, and blogs or podcasts. Unlike traditional media, which is typically one-way communication from producers to consumers, new media fosters two-way engagement, enabling users to participate actively in discussions and content creation. This democratization of information changes how knowledge is disseminated, allowing for diverse voices and perspectives to emerge and reach a global audience.
