Sheffield United will Ban Jessica Ennis-Hill Twitter Trolls for Life

Article

Due to Jess Ennis' statement about Ched Evans, she was cursed for her statements. on Twitter Sheffield United fans said "they wished she was raped too" That remarked caused an uproar around the football scene because she didnt deserve to be treated in that way. In my opinion, the tweets were very rude and should be
dealt with by the club and the police due to the severity.

Article
In this article, an online magazine narrative journalism is set to launch this month, but its founders claim they will take no notice of traffic as they care about stories, not "clicks". It will also not feature any ads which means they would be not be making any money from ad, which newspapers were known for in the past.
This is good because it seems like an honest magazine which we are seeing less of since the Sun and other newspaper companies went subscription 

Web 2.0 Participation and Hegemony

1) Research the Ian Tomlinson case. What would the traditional, hegemonic view of the police be in a case like this? How did new and digital media create a different story? What does the police officer's subsequent aquittal suggest about the power of new and digital media?
The traditional is that policemen, and public service workers get away with murder. The new and digital media created a different story due to introduction of user generated content in which people can now film events happening and this happened as this case was seen and uploaded on YouTube and as a result the policeman had to suffer some consequences. Even though he got done for manslaughter he still got away with it showing that the police will still get away with stuff and if we try to question their judgement we could be seen as breaking the law.
2) What does the author argue regarding whether hegemony is being challenged by Web 2.0? 
The author argues that alot of online media are corrupt. this is because of Yahoo displaying Nazi images, which is immoral in France and the indoctrination of people on social media.

3) In your opinion, does new and digital media reinforce dominant hegemonic views or give the audience a platform to challenge them?
I think that digital media reinforce both views because people are trapped in the online world by google, but google give oppurtinites to allow people to make it in the online industry. The audince can challange them, but because the are so big and needed to make the internet the internet, regardless of the press they get, they still will be used and valued

How can football tackle the social media hate merchants?

Article 

This article is talking about the many ways we can combat racism on social media after Yaya Toure was racially abused on Twitter. 
The leaders say twitter is being tackled about the situation, but its not being tackled hard enough according to alot of the players.
I think twitter is a site that people can be racist on without any major repercussions, this allows more people to carry on doing it and it doesn't get tackled in anyway which means there would not be an ending in this situation

News article number 10

Sun Page 3 girl ad banned for sexism

Article

This article shows that the sun newspaper have banned an ad that allows one lucky person to go on a date with a page 3 model. This ad was subsequently banned due to the objectification of women as men are gambling to meet the models whom are naked on a daily basis, implying they are cheap and quick.

In my opinion, I think that the ad should have not been banned, because it  is only objectifying women who have asked to be objectified, by sending a picture of their selves daily to stimulate the type if guys who will gamble to win a date with them

The rise and rise of UGC

Examples
Tsunami in 2004
Los Angeles police officers beat up a man after a high speed chase
London bombings


Benefits to institutions
Its cost nearly nothing for institutions to get videos from citizens, which means they will not have to fork out money on professionals to do the job for them. It may be exclusive, which means people will have to go onto that particular institution's channel to see that footage.

Benefits to audience
The footage has less chance of being biased and staged, which makes the audience more inclined to believe the news is true.

Wider issues and debates
What happens to the journalist if more and more citizen footage becomes available?
Will citizen journalist get paid as its becoming more and more of a help to institutions?

SHEP

Social
Social media now sees videos before the news, meaning that news isnt breaking anymore due to the amount of people knowing about it.

Historical
Camera phones were limited so, it was harder to video events. Therefore the was less citizen journalism before.

Economical
Right now it cost alot less to get a citizen video than it does for a professional to video the scene where the drama has already happened.
