The forms of new media that I use daily are email, various online Learning Management Systems, inspirational websites.
New social media has influenced my perspective of events through Facebook, online journals and news blogs. I am still "old school" - I still watch the news in the morning and I watch the evening news. I do not have an Instagram or Twitter account - I think that they interesting but not necessary.
I find that much of the political media are negative and the they have a negative influence on society. I look for balanced media coverage especially in the political arena. I find that this is not the case in recent years.
The positive influential websites for me are inspiration and self-help. It is wonderful to have, at my finger tips, websites that guide, direct and help me through my life's journey.
