Is Facebook the New Media?
This article asks you to ponder questions like 'Is Facebook the New Media'? And I personally think that it really is. Companies are actually starting to resort to Facebook to advertise their new products or newspaper companies start posting their papers on Facebook for users to read. Hot Dish is one of the companies that started posting on Facebook to get their papers out and mndaily is a paper that a college put on Facebook for people of the college to find the good news around. To me, Facebook is the way of the world right now, and it is still rising.

Facebook is definitely the new media. So many companies are using Facebook as a new avenue to reach different audiences all at one time. If you think about it, Facebook attracts everyone of every age. My grandparents who are in their 70s and my sister who is 7 are both on Facebook. Its so smart for businesses to use Facebook in order to reach different groups.
