Youtube has altered the roles of traditional media purposes. Youtube is a portal that people can share their video to everyone see online. Viewer just have to sign up an account for free and upload any videos that they want and leaving comments. Few days ago I have to research about War in Iraq for one of my project. I got so much information that I needed throughout the video. So, the concept of Youtube is really helpful for getting information.

The power of Youtube is huge and powerful. The audience who give comments gave so much impacts and role because their comment could affect the one who involved in the video. Old form of media publishing is still important, yet people can't avoid the trend of new form media publishing. The great things is that new media has bring so much impact and benefit to the community.
