NEW NEWS
This lecture was interesting as we looked at the developments in news writing and we viewed the differences. Men the old was too old compared to the new journalism way of writing news.
In the new era we are using the world web to access information and journalists are using media sites eg. Twitter, news engines, Facebook and so much more. Compare with the old generation that had to use radio, television or newspapers to access the news.
The importance of this new generation of news generation is that its faster and people are able to air their views on the news rather than the past where we had to take the published news as bible truth.
There is also the semantic web here we looked at how the use of mobile phones and other gadgets has affected the production of news via newspapers. There is also a change in the advertisement methods used hence more people are lured to purchase things they may not even need.
My view is that I prefer the new news era but I believe there has been a decrease in generation of important news as compared to the past/ old generation.
With the introduction of eBay as a site engine for people to access all they need this has killed the use of classifieds where everybody used them to find information that they required eg. looking for a house, jobs and stores for clothes etc.
The new era has made many people especially old journalists to lose their jobs as now one can publish news when still in their beds and also media companies are seeking the young and fresh youth.
QUESTION TIME: WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE NEW NEWS ERA??
