The future of new media is doubt questionable. Will new media influence us or we influence the new media? According to Ramona, "the digital age has brought all sorts of new possibilities for ways that any of us can communicate our opinions, experiences, ideas and dreams to people near or far, through blogs, hub, online forum and internet publishing". Everyone can somehow agree that the net is rapidly changing the ways we communicate and issues might somehow be questionable as in terms of credibility, copyright and etc.
Some few 'new trends' do include types of blogs such as MoBlogs, Splogs, Vlogs, etc. These type of blogs served their own purpose based on the audience, purpose and context.
Just to let you know that Vlogs -are blogs that contains videos and Mblogs- is a blog that is maintained by using a mobile device such as PDA or cell phone (whatis.com, 2008). Both blogs is simple and available to everyone although this has become a common thing, today. According to Kress & van Leewuen (2006) states multimodal text is any text whose meanings are realized through more than one semiotic code. Although, this blogs are question for credibility, copyright and ethics.
Therefore, usage of new media and alternate media does affect the image of politicians such as no privacy and contributes to people's perception on issues or other things.

According to Bill Tarant, YouTube, phenomenally popular video website, did as much damage as any opposition figure could hope to inflict, after netiezens uploaded embarrassing videos of their politicians in action on hot button issues. One good example is a video of MP Badruddin bin Amiruldin causing a commotion in the Malaysian Parliament at YouTube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqyhBDU5HM).
Therefore, usage of new media and alternate media does affect the image of politicians such as no privacy and contributes to people's perception on issues or other things.
