There are many ways to distinguish "new media" from "old" media. Old media is basically the stepping stones to new media. It is everything comprised of old media, yet bigger and more viral. Old media comprises of everything that existed before new media such as, television, radio, movies, magazines, newspapers, and books. Old media is distinguished by new media due to the fact that it is the information prior to the changes that may be caused by the interconnected transmission of data throughout the internet. The examples of new and old media are vast. Where as you used to only be able to hear a song on the radio, you can now download songs within seconds on a computer of cell phone. The news used to only be accessible through newspapers and television, but now we have access to millions of articles all over the world updated every minute.
