Be descriptive for better results. Digital technologies have transformed the print and broadcast media. New media are simultaneously competing with and extending traditional media. Community newspapers and national magazines have added frequently ambitious web sites in order to capture an emerging market as it grows. CD-ROMs have become a staple of publishing.
Books often contain CD-ROMs.
CD-ROMs often replace books. The boundaries between traditional media and new media are often blurred and many media professionals must be able to work with several media and reformat information originally gathered for one medium to suit a second or third medium. These minors provide students the needed tools for media communication in the 21st Century. In addition, because the program consists of a series of minors, it allows students to mix work in media communication with more extensive work in their major. Students are thus able to merge a familiarity with communication tools with expertise in a content field.
