【正确答案】正确答案： My Personal Views on New Media The new media are the interactive forms of communication that use the Internet. Podcasts, social networks, blogs, wikis and more are all popular new media. New media make it possible for anyone to create, modify and share information with others. Whether we admit it or not, the new media are changing our life in almost every way. Newspapers, books and television broaden our eyes and our world as well, but it is the new media that move the focus of media attention to ourselves. Instead of accepting all kinds of information passively from the "old media" , we can post our life stories, opinions, performance and creations on the blog, and become the leading actor or actress in our world. The new media help the emergence of many instant celebrities. Take Hu Ge for example. His amateur films are distributed freely on the Internet, in which his outrageous humour and his use of parodies gain him widespread attention. Thanks to the new media, a growing number of people can find their own talent, voice and the most important, their confidence. The new media can also enable every ordinary people to be part of the mass media, so they contribute to greater transparency within the society and to more social justice. It is the new media that dig the greedy and corrupted officials from an obscure cigarette box of the online picture. Our society will become more democratic and open, as the netizens can share their different ideas and suggestions freely through the new media. Although the negative influences of the new media can not be ignored, we can hold their hands tightly and discreetly, and this fresh form of media can certainly lead us into a better world.
