同義詞
  • digital media

    strongly overlaps in meaning; 'digital media' emphasises the technological format, while 'new media' carries more contrast with traditional/legacy media.

  • online media

    narrower — implies internet delivery specifically; 'new media' also includes offline digital formats (e.g. DVDs, digital signage).

  • multimedia

    focuses on the combination of text, audio, and video in one product; less about the delivery channel.

反義詞
  • traditional media

    the opposite concept — print, radio, and broadcast television that existed before digital distribution.

  • mass media

    overlapping but distinct; 'mass media' refers to any widely distributed content regardless of channel, while 'new media' specifically denotes digital channels.

用法筆記

Often treated as a singular mass noun (new media is…), but plural agreement (new media are…) also occurs when the writer wants to emphasise the variety of platforms involved. Frequently appears as a modifier before another noun: new media company, new media strategy, new media artist.
