New Media is a 21st century
catchall term used to define all that is related to the internet and the
interplay between technology images and sound (Bailey Socha and Barbara
Eber-Schmid, 2009).
We can do many things when we learn
new media. For example, entrepreneurs use new media as a medium to market their
products. Reporters use new media, to spread new information. Politiciansare using new media to gain trust
from the society and Public Relations practitioners use new media to establish good
relationships between an organization and its publics.
However, how about ordinary people
like us? Some people see new media, like YouTube for example, as a platform to
be famous.
Some people love to do stupid things
or something that will embarrass themselves and simply upload it in YouTube.
Surprisingly, it attracts many attentions from viewers and makes the person
become famous.
Nevertheless, some people really want
to show their talent to the society. For example, like Justin Bieber who is one
of the most famous singers in the world. His talent was recognized through YouTube.
In Malaysia, we also have people which have become famous because of YouTube,
like Yuna, NajwaLatiff, Mat Luthfi and others. Nowadays, Yuna is a successful
singer locally and internationally.
Mat Luthfi, student from Curtin
University who is famous in YouTube
Yuna is one of the
famous celebrity in Malaysia which her talent was recognized through YouTube
Anyone can upload their video in
YouTube to be watched by many people all over the world. Just like that, than
you will become famous. The different is either you become famous because of your talent or because of your “stupidity”.

One of factor that makes new media interesting is the viral-ity of entertainment. Some users enjoys watching the entertainment and also some users enjoys making amusement with the new media. Some of them do it for the sake of their own satisfaction or sharing their expressions. Some of us might see as entertainment but some might annoyed. However, the public themselves that decide & rate the "performers" that either become famous or the laughing joke. The new media users that decide. So sometimes we cant control the outcome.
