What does the media do?

What is media? Self-media (mbth), also known as "citizen media" or "personal media", refers to a new media that is privatized, popularized and autonomous, and delivers normative and non-normative information to an unspecified majority or specific individuals through modern and electronic means. Media platforms include: blog, Weibo, WeChat, Tik Tok, Baidu official post bar, forum /BBS and other online communities.

In July, 2003, the Media Center of American Journalism Institute released a research report on "WeMedia" jointly put forward by Xie Yin Bowman and Chris Willis, which gave a very strict definition of "WeMedia": "WeMedia is a way for ordinary people to understand how they provide and share their own facts and news after strengthening their connection with the global knowledge system through digital technology." In short, it is the carrier that citizens use to publish what they have seen and heard with their own eyes, such as blogs, Weibo, WeChat, forums /BBS and other online communities.
