”Old Media were once New” - Media consumption habits are quickly changing. Most technologies described today as "New Media" are digital and networkable. The use of digital computers has transformed the “old” media into digital television and online publications. Internet replaces the "one-to-many" model of traditional mass communication with the possibility of a "many-to-many" web of communication. The use of Internet news sites, Blogs, or Social Networks is the most widely used form of media lately, where Blogs and Social Networks are considered the fastest growers during the past few years. The usage of old media is declining since Books, Radio, Television, Newspaper, Magazine and Journalism are being transformed into new forms such as: eBooks, Wikis, Blogs, Pandora, podcasts, You Tube.
It's true that New Media is uprising but I would say it is just enhancing Old Media. New Media is making Old Media more accessible for us as you stated from books to eBooks, and more.
