Creativity

New Media fosters creativity because it gives the individual the right to write anything he/she pleases in the way that he/she pleases. With Old Media, if I worked for a newspaper company, Theyll tell me what stories I need to write, how many words to put on a page, which column i'm in etc. It gives the writer very room for creativity. Thats why everybody has there specific newspaper that they like to read and there specific news channel they want to watch. However with new media the writers of blogs and Wikis are free to do as they please. A writer can decide to write in any form or style she wishes, whether they are trying to persuade you with your opinions, or just give you facts with nobody over them editing or telling them what right and wrong. The writer has the freedom to be as creative as they want. In the article "1+1+1=1 it speaks about how new digital media has led people to create there own music mashups.
