Research Topic: Can social media replace the traditional?

Traditional media is in a serious competition. Public service broadcasters like CNN and the BBC present their shows on YouTube. Newspapers, magazines create blogs and offer news feeds. Social media has a powerful feature to reach a wide audience within an extremely short time. This communication tool provides new opportunities and new threats. Social media has the potential to attract and maintain a broad demographic audience's attention. However, the media, known as the "media" function did not change.

  1. I love new media nowadays because it helps a lot in our lives. but, i think i still need some "traditional" media in my life. For example, i preferred to read regular novel rather novel in e-book, kindle etc. i don't know why, but it feels different and my imagination can go further without any distractions.
