Summary/Abstract: New Media has a major impact on our contemporary society. It is the redefinition of the way people communicate and may also be the redefinition of classical journalism. It is easy to become a journalist with the help of new technologies. The article stresses the importance of the interactive video-sharing portals and focuses on a definition of the web 2.0 world. The definition of web 2.0 is not strictly a technical one. It also implies everything related to consumer (user) generated content as an attitude towards participation. The issue of blogging and its impact on political communication, journalism and democracy is presented in the last section of the paper.
