New forms of media publishing

The World Wide Web has created new forms of media publishing. Nowadays, newspapers have online versions; television shows also have websites as do films. The digital age has brought all kinds of new possibilities for ways that people can communicate their opinions, experiences, and ideas to people around the world through blogs, online forums and internet publications. (Amiry, 2005)

Blogging is one of the kinds of media publishing. It is self-publishing in the digital media that you can say anything, you also don’t have to worry very much about who’s reading it or how many people are reading it. Now blogs are wonderfully, anarchic and democratic, but they are also dangerously inaccurate at times.

Today, younger people seem like quite unfazed by self publishing, also by small audiences. And there also seems to be no over-obsession with polish.

In online media where you’re skimming, you’re looking for something that grabs you, you want to be engaged by it straightaway. (Amiry, 2005)
