Creativity

New media fosters creativity because it gives a chance for the everyday person to do something for someone else's entertainment. People can use their creative minds to alter someone else's work as "parodies" and that can change or give birth to new genres. In Brooks Barnes' New York Times article, "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" states that people start creating mash ups and that started a new genre in new media entertainment. The mash ups consists on syncing Disney cartoons to songs. It is because of the new media outlets, people can use it and more or less make something their own.
