iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch: Twitter reacts to Apple's launch event.
This article focuses on the new apple iPhone which will be coming out in mid September and how people took to twitter to give their views on the new iPhone. There was alot of funny tweets that made iPhone seem like a very average phone, this is because people were scrutinizing different faults of previous iPhone in the past.
This story interested me because it is crazy how people now take to social networking sites to take out their frustration on different subjects. Personally I think the iPhone is a good phone, however, it isn't quite on par with the Samsung range quite yet.
Digital journalists have great chance to develop much-needed transparency.
in this article, it talks about how journalist are able to have better quality in their articles due to new and digital media, sources are now better, clarity of images, an also readers are now able to edit some articles, if there are mistakes in it. due to increasing demand to publish quickly, there are obviously going to be mistakes in articles, which can be corrected after they have been published meaning they can kill two birds with one stone.
in my opinion, i think this is a great idea because people are able to correct errors on articles, making them more reliable, however, people may edit things which makes the article wrong, similar to wikipedia.
Mapping Digital Media Series: New media & news – Measuring the Impact
This article talked about research made showing how new and digital media is making things like news papers have a fall in demand.
- The internet is the main alternative platform for content that mainstream media outlets do not carry because of pressure from the state, advertisers, or political parties. It has enlarged debate on sensitive topics.
- Yet digitization has not significantly affected total news diversity. In no case has a new entrant become the leading television station by audience. No pure-player outlet in any country is the most popular outlet by audience.
- Digitization has brought no pressure to reform state broadcasters, or to radically improve the performance of public service media. But digitally-enabled competition has led viewers and listeners in some countries to trust public service and state broadcasters less.
- Where established public service broadcasters have developed a compelling offer on new platforms, they are among the very biggest providers of news. But the long-term efficiency benefits of digitization only become available after very significant new investments.
Above were a few points made in the article showing the impact was quite over exaggerated by other people, as people still buy newspapers and so on.
