Question

What makes online media different from traditional media texts?

A. Single authorship

B. Limited expression

C. User interactivity

D. Static text

Answer 1

Traditional media in the US is tightly controlled by a handful of large corporate entities with significant interests in promoting an ideology friendly to their profits.

Online media and bloggers, on the other hand, are free to express themselves and represent many different author perspectives. Yahoo Answers is a perfect example of:

a) Multitude of authors

b) Extraordinary range of expression (including links)

c) User Interaction

d) DYNAMIC text

Traditional media has the exact opposite of the above.
