My research topic will revolve around how new media has impacted the art and entertainment industry. I will discuss how people in the arts and entertainment industry have benefited from the rise of social media, but also the complications that come with new media. Some examples include chargebacks, copyright infringement, theft, and so forth. I will delve into how new media has changed the way artists do commissions and how artists have grounded their business upon these new platforms. In addition, I will also branch into music, literature, movies, and other forms of entertainment and how it's been affected by the development of new media, as each type has their own story to tell.
