About My Research Paper

The topic I chose for my paper was the impact of new media on the entertainment industry.  I chose this topic because I figured it would involve researching topics that were a part of my everyday life and stuff that I already had some knowledge about.  I focused mainly on the impact related to the music and film sectors of the industry because those were the ones that I felt were most impacted by new media.  I researched a number of databases from the Baruch Library web-site as well as some links that I found from various Google searches.  There was a lot of research and information done on this topic so it was easy for me to find related articles and sources.  From my research I found that new media has had an overall positive impact on the entertainment industry.  Most of my findings revealed that everything in the industry has become faster, simpler, and more convenient as a result of new media.  I think in the future the industry will continue to expand by using new media as a supplement for growth.

  1. It's really good to hear that New Media has had a positive effect on the Entertainment Industry. I would think some social conservatives would be rallying against New Media usage by the industry much like they did in the 90's with the campaigns to parental warnings on albums and video games.

  2. Your paper sounds interesting. I would assume that new media has not had a positive impact on the entertainment industries since celebrities private life is more out there than what they actual work is. It is great to know that it has been other wise and actors, singers, rappers, and dancers have been impacted positively by new media.
