LO2 Digital vs Pre-digital

Newest use of delivering news:
Social media - it is successful because people can spread it among themselves, reaching a large audience easily and cheaply

My favourite way of receiving news is through social media, because news that I see is often relevant and interesting to me as people who have similar interests will show me it.


A viral video is a video that gets very popular, and is distributed by others via social media to make it viral.

The purpose of my viral video was to promote and advertise the show – The Carpool Karaoke section of James Corden’s show.

It’s successful in sharing news, as it spread news about the TV show it was a part of, which it did by being catchy and relatable.


Advantage of live videos:
Can see whats happening easily
People feel more connected to the event


Disadvantage of live videos:
Could show something offensive - people getting killed etc., with no way to filter it out, which could offend people
The event they are filming might be unsuccessful


Journalism could progress in the digital age to be more focussed on streaming news stories, as they will be more interesting to the audience.

Newspapers and other print media will be left behind, as young people don't use them, and it is more convenient to access news via the internet now.
