The difference between social media and traditional media

1, immediacy

Generally speaking, according to the scale of program content, traditional media often have several days, weeks and months to produce, while social media tend to publish short and light pictures, so the production time is reduced to one day, several hours and several minutes. Some traditional media are in line with social media and hope to release news at any time.

Step 2 be accessible

The vast majority of people who can use traditional media are only private owners of the government or media; For example, the headline of a major newspaper is decided by the editorial department of the newspaper, and the fund-raising filming of a film is decided by the government and private financiers. The public can use social media cheaply or for free; For example, everyone can apply for an online blog for free, and applicants can edit the content of the blog at will.

3. Communication structure

Both social media and traditional media can spread all over the world. However, traditional media mostly belong to centralized organizational structure, production and sales. Social media is usually flat and hierarchical, and has different forms according to the needs of diversified production or use.

4, professional requirements

The professional threshold for entering traditional media is higher, such as setting up full-time journalists, photographers, editors, finance departments, legal departments and so on. In addition to certain information literacy, professional literacy of other disciplines is needed to stand the test of the consumer market; In particular, the fierce market competition and profit pressure of traditional media may require higher or even more professional ability. The professional threshold of social media is relatively low, and usually only moderate information literacy is enough. In addition, in order to strive for greater attention economy, social media tends to design the user interface of social media more conveniently and simply.

5, fixed

Once the content of traditional media is published, it is almost difficult to modify it, such as newspapers, radio, television and movies. If you need to reply or modify, you often have to wait until the next version, such as the next day's newspaper, the next broadcast, the next TV, and the re-edited movie version, which involves more manpower and time. Social media often updates and changes anytime and anywhere.
