In New Media: An Introduction, Flew explored the theories of new media, its development and the role of new media in networked society.[7] The book examines how new media is socially, economically and politically impacting creative industries. In the first chapter, Flew tries to define "new media" as a media that combines three Cs: computing information technology, communication network, and content. One of Flew's biggest contribution in this book is in the second chapter, in which Flew explains 20 key concepts of new media, which includes collective intelligence, convergence, creative industries, cyberspace, digital capitalism, digital copyrights/creative commons, digital divide, globalization, hype, information overload, interactivity, knowledge economy, networks, participation, remediation, security and surveillance, speed, ubiquity, user-generated content/user-led innovation, and virtuality.
