Happy Summer!!

Thanks for a wonderful class! I’ve learned a lot!

We the Media 1

I thought I did this one already, but while I was double checking all my assignments, I saw this was missing. So here it is.

I believe Gilmor is dead on with his thoughts on local stations simplfying news.  Sensationalism is not quite as prominent as the selectivism going on in local news stations. Gilmor also talks about personal journalism and how it has exsisted long ago.  I believe it’s the future of news. People are so used to blogs, whether is politics or gossip.  Distinguished news sources such as CNN and the New York Times have all added blogs to their offerings.  It is an appropriate form of information, as Gilmor says our attention span was decreased with time.

Personal, portable computers are also a huge factor in the changes of media.  We all are now given the same opportunity to report news, racing against real news stations if we wanted to.  Now it’s all about who’s there and who go the shot. From there, anybody can upload the image and be given just as many internet hits as any big station.  When Gilmore talks about September 11 and how the news covered everything, I agreed with Gilmor on how amazing it was to be able to look at coverage from all over the world.  We are able to get perspectives from locals of New York City, all the way to the opposite coast in San  Francisco.  Gilmor gives a thorough, in-depth view of how new media has emerged and the benefits of it all.
