New media fosters creativity in several ways. In the article "User-generated visibility: Secondary gatekeeping in a shared media space", the author discusses how blogs and various types of social media have become "integral to the work of news organizations and their employees". Because there is a new emergence of social media it means more people are discussing very different topics online. I believe that this discussion and the collaboration that occurs online allows users to form more creative views and ideas of the world.

Hi,
