emerging media

The exposure of new media makes me want to learn more! I'm scared to graduate because in 10 years, or even 5, everything will be different. New media is changing so quickly that I feel that as soon as I learn a version of adobe 2.0, version 7.0 is creeping up. Like many professional fields, those in the media industry should attend continuing education courses to keep up with the constant changing of the media.

podcasting can ifluence negative effects of media concentration. When media convergence emerges, it creates competition for existing media. You can get news in many more forms now, including podcasts. Staples for the news, like television and radio, are now having to compete with podcasts and the internet.
