BLOG: Advice

     Improving new media in Brooklyn College may not be as hard of  task as it may seem. New media has began to appear everywhere especially in colleges because this generation explores new media constantly.
     As a leader who was hired by the college I would begin with social media. It seems that social media has become synonymous new media. This is because new media has been deemed new media primarily by its format. The content has changed slightly, but the format has defined the way media is viewed and used. Media has transcended to the use of media online and through social media platforms and social networking. New media is the social media platforms that this generation uses to connect, share and have a presence online. My advice would be to maintain a presence online to stay relevant in terms of newx, nuanced media online. Networking is key to defining yourself in new media because you are representing yourself as a prominent member in the social media community. People take online media very seriously and to be taken seriously, one must display skill and relevance in today's media.
    Another huge think I would suggest is to start online because that's where most people are now. YouTube is a prime example of how stars are made using the new media formatting of online. YouTube can make or break a lot of artists' careers because of its impact on new media. A somewhat negative component of sharing videos on YouTube.

    According to As Rights Clash on YouTube, Some Music Vanishes by Tim Arango, there have been numerous cases where music that up and coming artists have uploaded was removed because of copyright claims. An example includes a high school sophomore uploading a video with her singing "Winter Wonderland" while playing the piano being deleted because "of a third-party notification by the Warner Music Group." This company owns the copyright to the Christmas song. This new artist was someone who didn't have a good experience with new media so m suggestion would be to be aware of what you are uploading so you are not putting your heart and soul into a performance of someone else's song to be deleted. The bottom line is that new media  has a lot of ups and downs in terms of adding it to colleges or anywhere for that matter.
