Abstract—Media are an integral part of society. As a tool to transmit information, media are also influenced by society and technology while changing the society. The traditional media have experienced the development from the era of pictures and texts such as newspapers to the era of radio and television images. Until the emergence of the Internet, the era of media changed from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. This essay chooses the most popular short video app — TikTok as an example of new media platform in Web 2.0 era and compare it with TV media to find out the difference between new media and traditional media. The content production of traditional TV media production always takes a long time, its production cycle is long, and the cost is high. While TikTok provides users with a platform to make content themselves. In the era of fragmentation, traditional TV media will certainly try to find new opportunities on new media platforms and excavate content themes, what is more suitable for the characteristics of the contemporary consumption era. Also, through cooperation, tv programs gets opportunities to turn the large number of users on TikTok into their audience. New media will also absorb high-quality content resources from traditional TV media. Therefore, traditional media and new media will form a new type of integration status and make progress together.
