New media are the internet based tools and services that allow users to interact with one another online. During their interactions, youth generate contents, distribute and search for information, thus every user becomes a communicator. These sites used for interaction include Facebook, whatsApp, twitter, video games, YouTube among others. They are also known as Social Networking Sites.
