Learning To Love James Fallows Analysis

In “Learning to Love the (shallow, divisive, unreliable) New Media” by James Fallows, society believes that our media is declining, while others view it as the next step “to a brighter future.” The “new media” has given the public a wider range of material to follow, but most isn’t considered “important news.” Infotainment like Gawkers “I had a one-night stand with Christine O’Donnell” is the new scene in media, focusing on what people “want.” The new system has left people disconnected with politics, has made us distracted in life, and has many stories left out.
The “new media” offers opportunities thought impossible a few years ago. The speed of the “new media” allows readers to “..see events taking place beyond their immediate eyesight.”
