The information ecosystem has changed totally in the internet time that has affected the way people relate to each other and the way they relate to information. The new media can be very useful and very interesting. You can’t hit the Internet for finding things fast. Old Media are geographically limited and Communications are strictly one way. Naughton, J 2006 state that the new media ecosystem will be richer, more diverse and complex because of the number of content producers and the density of the interactions between them and their products.
In the new media any one can be a news reporter, anyone can upload news through face book, twitter or YouTube before the news appear in the newspaper. And the newsreader can access to the news instantly. Naughton, J (2006) claims that in the beginning of 21 century, the combination of digital convergence, personal computing and global networking seems to have inflamed up the pace of development and is giving rise to radical shifts in the environment.
When we talk about new media we consider about social network like facebook, youtube and twitter, which has become the most important Social Media delivery tool for sharing messages and information online. This is the new trend where youth tend to prefer twitter or facebook as a substitute of blogs or newspaper. Also newspaper companies use facebook and twitter to get fast and easier to their audiences. According Wash (2006), an image is more than thousands words. It means that it is easy understand what is going on by an image compare to word. The combination use of images and texts are able to make better understanding and to reader.
