New Media & Society

About my blog ...
New Media & Society seminar represented many new possibilities for academic work that includes online environments. One of them is also to write a blog. Although I never thought to have one, it is good opportunity to explore new venues of using new technologies in academic environment. This blog is one of assignments for New Media & Society seminar and is intended for presenting and exchanging ideas and reflections regarding this seminar.

... and something about me.
I am postgraduate student in Media and communication studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana. My diploma thesis was about new media hypertextual potentials and I found that these potentials are poorly used; only few web sites provided open links to other online sources that are important for users. I am very interested in new media and I also planned to write my master thesis about homogeneity and commercial exploitation of media web sites. During this seminar I want to upgrade my knowledge, theoretical background and get better insight into the field of online communication, its opportunities and constraints, better understanding of this would help me more precisely define my master thesis.

Let it be enough for the first time ... Thanks for attention :)
