i have decided to analyze the Zeitgeist addendum. which is a conspiracy theory film about a world wide radical conspiracy. i don't believe most of it but i still think it would be cool to look through. The film is designed as a documentary about the government trying manipulate its economic means into international policy. but what is most likely to be considered new media would be the Zeitgeist movement. it is basically a coalition of 100,000's of people in what could be considered a grassroots movement. They have a website which is very navigable that contains many of the elements of new media: blogs, forums, Multimedia. it will be really cool to look at the rhetoric inside their theories.
I have never heard of this before but it really does sound interesting. For some strange reason I love learning about conspiracy theories and seeing how they come to their conclusions.
