New media fosters creativity by giving individuals more tools than just a brushes and paint or nuts and bolts to work with, instead they can create more abstract things using technology that haven't been invented before, showing off innovation a completely new way. For example, in the article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why? it shows how individuals can make 2 different things synonymous with each other by matching it to a similar scene or movement with the other comparison, In addition, new media has helped music artists like Chance The Rapper promote music without a record label and other upcoming artists that use SoundCloud or even Itunes to get their music heard by people.
According to Wikipedia, "Blogs differs from Wikis by the content that is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users." The way I understand the difference is looking at Wikis as a page that is constantly edited for accuracy on a subjective topic, while blogs are a thread of ideas of individuals giving their opinions across a platform such Reddit.
