New Media Terry Flew 3rd edition
New Media by 3rd Edition by Terry flew 3rd edition is a good book , which gives good information about the new media and the history of the internet and how one can use this new media. As a budding Journalist I found it interesting especially in these days of new media taking over in our industry. It tackles the issues of “new media” and the history of internet which I found to be interesting and informative. Although the book can bore you halfway with the way of writing it is too formal for me I think maybe the writer should write the book bearing in mind the level of the readers of the book.
I learnt a lot from the book especially chapter two of the book about the digital copyright, I didn’t know that the work you find online has been copyrighted and that I should be careful when using it .The chapters on the book they give understanding of the media that we use eg Facebook, internet and instant messaging that is widely used these days.
The chapters I have read were informative and showed that the writer of book really did his research on the topics covered. I would recommend the book to anyone.
