Newspaper used to be the most relevant and reliable media available. Decades ago, people receive information from newspaper.  However, new forms of media publishing are popping out one-by-one in this technology advance era. Naughton (2006) state that the combine use of digital technology, personal computer and world wide web result huge impact to the changes and development. Naughton (2006) also mention that all the new technology and new form media has made life easier. In this century, YouTube, Twitter, facebook and online newspaper are widely use. All these new media allows user to seek or receive information faster compare to the old printed media.

For example Twitter. Twitter is a free social site for people to communicate. The creation of Twitter has great impact on celebrity journalism. Celebrities fans have skew towards the use of Twitter for latest information faster and easier. This made Twitter a creditable platform for user as it able to get top and slightly deeper information faster compare to old media.

Another example will be the use of YouTube for negotiating power. YouTube is a very successful new media. YouTube allow blogger to have video blog to share their information. In this century, people that tend to visiting Vlog are more than mainstream media due to the government media control. It appear to have higher truthfulness and more trustworthy under certain circumstances.  Therefore, people use Vlog to express their ideas or unconvinced. The most appropriate example will be Namewee. Namewee uses Vlog to express his symbolic resistance which is unable to do through the mainstream media. However, this has both positive and negative supporters as creditability are situational. 

As conclusion, everything has its bright and dark side, use wisely.
