here's my definition of "new media":
The phrase “new media” refers to the proliferation of information through digital mediums that has emerged through the last two decades. The invention of the Internet provided for this new way of communication. Examples of new media include web pages, blogs, wikis, e-books, and whatever else that is accessed digitally – even old media that has been digitized. Old media consists of information that is physically printed such as magazines, newspapers, books, etc. New media is bound to take over old media as the primary source of information in near future.
