The Power of Twitter

Is Twitter changing the old media? More often than before, I see characters of old media delving into the opinions of their audience via Twitter. Entire sections of their shows are dedicated to simply listeningto the people through Twitter. This is a great change from the past where the media was the voice of God.

“That’s the way it is,” they would say.

There was no one to go up against them, aside from themselves. Now, with the advent of New Media, the old media can finally be disagreed with. Probably the most astounding part of this is that they want just this.

It seems as if the old media has finally caught onto the fact that people don’t want to just be told what to think or what to think about all the time, but instead they want to engage in an active conversation about the news. They want to be part of it. Twitter is invading the old media is allowing just this.

So is Twitter changing the old media. Without a doubt, the answer is “Yes.”
