Shelton, CT., Jan.
19/06 – In a growing trend of increasing organization and
consolidation within the new-media, a new company has been formed
which brings together grass roots writers, journalists and media
outlets into a single organization.
The “new media”, a term
typically used to refer to the unorganized collection of blogs,
on-line magazines and talk radio shows, has had some impact in on
public awareness of issues that have affected public perceptions and
even influenced politics such as the Lewinsky “scandal” and “Rathergate”.
However, What is different about the New Media Alliance is that it
represents a more formal coming together of these new-media players.
According to a company spokesperson, the New Media Alliance (www.thenma.org
– NMA) has developed a growing network of “some of the most talented
grass-roots” writers, media outlets and organizations who have all
agreed to partner together in the origination and national
distribution of daily news, commentary, research and analysis covering
current political and cultural issues.
Gary Schneider, Founder
and President of the New Media Alliance, Inc., says that:
“...Americans are increasingly seeking out alternatives to the
traditional sources of news and perspective on today's issues for a
number of reasons, and we are well positioned to satisfy that growing
demand.” Schneider further states that "...through our vast and
growing network of contracted writers and media partners, we plan on
supplying information and context on today's important issues that
would probably not otherwise have a chance to be heard.”
The
NMA is owned and operated by Heritage New Media Partners, Inc. which
also publishes the conservative on-line magazine “TheRealityCheck.org”
(www.therealitycheck.org)
and directs the up-start campus watchdog and student empowerment group
dubbed "The Reality Check On Campus" (www.oncampus.therealitycheck.org).
