Media Imperialism and other helpful resources about new media

FEEDBACK

Are Print media always this embracing of new media technologies?

Facebook has made the startling admission that teenagers are becoming bored with the social networking giant.Facing competition from younger, more agile and 'cooler' apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, Facebook fears its long-term business could be harmed.And as Facebook approaches its tenth anniversary the firm published its annual 10-K report last month revealing that its younger users are increasingly turning away from the multi-billion dollar business.

3rd March 2013 –James Nye

Increasingly turning away – Is this true?

'In the event that our users increasingly engage with other products and services, we may experience a decline in user engagement and our business could be harmed.’

Sensationalism? Moral Panic?
