News Apps

I rarelely use the Apple News App, but that is mainly because the notifications are automatic and unobtrusive so I don't feel the need to turn them off. I don't really use any News Apps because I'm not interested in current affairs or politics, and I can get information from friends as they use News Apps.

Why mode-of-address important in journalism?
Different target audiences respond differently to different modes of address, especially if the subject being discussed is serious or not (politics etc), so it is important to target an audience with a specific mode of address. For example, peer to peer is useful for targetting a C2DE demographic, as they are most likely to read celebrity gossip stories which this mode of address is effective in.
