What is Contemporary Media

In my contemporary media class, our first assignment is to define contemporary media. 

New media most commonly refers to content available on-demand through the Internet, accessible on any digital device, usually containing interactive user feedback and creative participation. Common examples of new media include websites such as online newspapersblogswikisvideo games and social media. A defining characteristic of new media is dialogue. New Media transmit content through connection and conversation. It enables people around the world to share, comment on, and discuss a wide variety of topics. Unlike any of past technologies, New Media is grounded on an interactive community.

My views of contemporary media is a new form expression, anyone can express what they feel towards a political situation, social injustice, communicating, and sharing thing you like and hopefully find other people with the same interests as you. Contemporary Media is another window of opportunity for those who seek to find other forms of information besides what the news tells you, and hopefully get fully understand a situation by either your friends explaining it to you or family through means of the Media.The way I use contemporary media is through my phone, i try to look for new information, beef between famous people, or just to look at some dank memes.
