New media has 5 important characteristics called the 5 C's
Communication
Collaboration
Community
Creativity
Convergence
Youtube for example allows users to communicate with via comment box, message box, and even video responses. People have gotten together from all over the world to do some sort of video collaboration. Here's one of my most favorite collaborations.
But collaborations don't necessarily have to take place in one room, such as this collab: Youtube Madlibs.
And community wise, the community in youtube is exactly like a community you can find in the the area around your neighborhood. You know ,laughing with one another, and fighting with one another, here is an example from the youtube page of the new transformers trailer.

effin agree with you.
Don't use just feel the love within this community!!!!!
And typically a media has to be digital and a website to be considered New Media. A newspaper, a book, or tv does not count. If a website does not have one of the 5 C's it might not be considered a new media.

Jackson good information about new media, but i think you need to tell us some kind of distinction between new median and old media because this asignment is about new media vs. old media. Again, it is good to remind me that media have five characters .
