The Relationship Between Politics, The Internet, and Other Media

Politics has always been important in civilization since humanity appeared nearly 200,000 years ago. Over time, the logic and the rule of law became the center of our civilization. Recently, our civilization has been influenced and defined by telephone, newspaper, radio, television, and recent Internet communication. Therefore, our modern political spectrum is greatly affected by these advances. The latest frontier, the Internet, is the biggest change in modern politics.

The future is the Internet age, the influence of the Internet spread to various fields. Politics is no exception, the relationship between organization and public opinion is influenced by new media. New media include online newspapers, blogs, social media and more. Because of limitations on new media, such as time constraints and space constraints, more people prefer media than traditional media. Most people have cell phones or computers. They can get to know the news anytime and anywhere. Therefore, new media has a big impact on people. Politicians also realize that new media is a more effective way to convey information and they are using it to attract adherents. For example, Barack Obama and White House have Facebook page and Twitter. Public opinion also influences politics through new media. The new media provides two - way communication for a two - way role. People can send information directly to the government and politicians can comment online

Democracy and media relations are becoming more complicated by the emergence of computer-based interactive media, including other new technologies such as the Internet and fax machines. This new media format provides an unparalleled opportunity for the public to distribute information to numerous fellows in a quick and cost effective manner. The democratic potential of this new media is that traditional media forms through increasingly smaller enterprises, as people are concerned that such "media monopoly" trends are decreasing or decreasing, (Such as newspapers) to compensate ownership. Diversity of opinion expressed in established media. However, a surge in Internet resources means that the information provided on the Internet is often inaccurate, or at least the accuracy of Internet information is not properly checked.
