Mass Media The very idea of Mass Media is changing as there is a shift from top down media consumed by all, to new media that is focused and networked to other media sources focused on the same limited audience

New Media More interactive with the audience, less on a one way communication

Media has become less on a one way path for ideas to travel. With the increase in technology, audiences authorship has increased to the point that anyone can create media that is accessable by the masses

Focuse on Networks and catering media to the target audience Although the original idea may be the same, depending on the form the media takes, the audience may construct a different meaning. A Harry Potter book and Movie may tell the same story, but not mean the same thing to their respective audiences.

In traditional educatinal settings, the teacher is NOT always part of the network that their students are part of and as a result a deep divide is created

In education this can be seen in small schools, chater schools and Day schools

Network of media focused to an audience: Example Harry Potter (books, websites, video games, movies, cheeseburgers?) It is important to note what is included and excluded within each network of media
