New Media is Now Just "Media"

KUOW, Seattle, discussed "Your Brain on New Media" on its Weekday show April 20th.

Howard Finberg, director of interactive learning at The Poynter Institute for Media Studies and manager of the News University - a project that offers online training in New Media to journalists around the globe, told host Steve Scher: "Media is no longer a one-way message to a passive audience."

Hanson Hosein, director of the University of Washington's Master of Communication in Digital Media, explained how the old established media (newspapers, radio, TV, et al) have now become "legacy media" and that what we called "new media" is now the new norm, just plain "media".

The entire program is available as a podcast. (Run Time: 54:13)
