Post-media theory

Post-media theory examines the effects of digital technology on communication and culture, suggesting that traditional boundaries between different media forms (like television, film, and newspapers) have blurred. In this context, anyone can create and share content, leading to a democratization of information. The theory explores how we consume media in a landscape filled with social networks and user-generated content, focusing on the implications for identity, community, and truth. It highlights how our relationship with information has shifted, emphasizing interconnectedness and challenging established narratives in the ever-evolving digital world.
