New media created new ways to be creative. Nowadays, we have people who design social media pages for companies or share their opinions through videos on YouTube. It can be something totally unexpected, like Jeremy Brown, who created a mashup by combining two songs (Frere-Jones.) He composed it in his bedroom and shared it on his website where it became accessible for everyone. The perks of new media are that it is accessible to almost all classes of the population. People still spend a crazy amount of money promoting themselves but it is not the only option out there. The Internet is your best friend as millions of people can share your song with their friends if they like it.
In my opinion, new media definitely helped creativity to develop even more but what is more important it made the work accessible for other people. Because of the Internet, I can see what people in Europe, Africa or other continents are creating and get inspired by them.
