The New Media Frontier

The New Media Frontier (Chapter 13 by Scott Ott)

Foreword by Hugh Hewitt

Scott Ott wrote the chapter on Politics and Jouralism for The New Media Frontier, published by Crossway in September 2008. While designed for Christians, the book is a good introduction to how the world of blogging, vlogging (video blogging) and podcasting represents a new communication reformation.

Scott Ott’s six years of lampooning the mainstream media have given him a unique perspective into how the new media have utterly transformed journalism and her twin sister, politics.

In Chapter 13, Scott gives examples of this sea change, and a behind-the-scenes peek at how he writes ScrappleFace.com. The hope is that new bloggers will gain inspiration and knowledge to help them use the new platforms to convey the gospel to every niche of society.
