A type of new media can be social media for autistic people. It can be a platform for people that are autistic to connect and share their thoughts and experiences with each other. The idea of social media for autistic people is a type of media that centralizes on communication with others that have been diagnosed with the same disorder. This allows them to make friends that have things in common such as relatable circumstances in school, work, and home.

    This is a really good idea! I believe that a platform that allows people with similar disorders to connect can potentially help those people a lot. It can be tough for people who are autistic to interact with other's, so having a space where they are able to easily interact with others who are autistic as well, can allow them to share experiences and create new friendships.

    This is a great idea! Social media platforms right now are definitely prone to having certain elements that may trigger some with autism. A platform designed purely for them could help them collaborate and reach out to others that are affected in the same way and better their communication skills.

How Is Media Policy and Regulation Different In Other Countries?

Rules and regulations are different across each country; the same applies to media policy and regulations. I find it interesting to see how media policy is regulated in other countries, especially the internet being one of the largest media providers. Even though the internet may be used for media in every country, there are media policies and regulations that formulates the differences in media content in each country.  Some may say, that here in the U.S we have great media rights due to the first amendment (freedom of speech/press), but others may say that the first amendment is not fully enforced which restricts the content of media. I will go over, the similarities and differences of media policy and regulation in other countries and how that shapes the content that is produced. Not only does media policy and regulations affect media information, but this also affects the way people in other countries receive information. In a sense, the government's regulations and media polic
