Abstract

This study is primarily concerned with how the new media is current­ ly modifying the existing perception of journalism. The aim is not to summarize all new technologies and media, but to examine the spe­ cific characteristics of online media. This study strives to offer the most comprehensive view of specifics and differences between online media (incorporating online journalism) and the traditional media. It also deals with important issues, such as how cultural factors can modify our perception of new media or vice versa – how media and technolo­ gies shape the cultural environment in which they operate.
