New media in contemporary society✅
Curran and Seaton suggest there are two general views on the new media’s significance in contemporary society:
The cultural optimist view: Sees the new media as playing a positive role in society. This is held by neophiliacs, those who like, rapidly embrace and adapt to new technology and are avid users of new media
The cultural pessimist view: Has a more negative view of the impact of new media in society
