Twitter and Content

While reading the Article, “Who needs newspapers when you have Twitter,” it reminded me a lot of a Media, Power and Culture class I am currently taking. While I was reading this, I compared the thoughts of Mr. Anderson with the information I’ve learned in the class and realized that I only agree with some of the stuff Anderson said. I agree with the part that said everything is going online based and the things of that sort. I agree with this because you can see it happening for yourself. Also, in my class we have watched many videos on how Newspapers are starting to go to online versions. I disagree with Mr. Anderson in the fact that he said traditional news and newspapers are dead. I disagree with this because as stated in my MPC class, there are people out there who will ALWAYS buy newspapers just for the physical aspect of it. I also disagree with this because when reading the newspaper and watching the news you get a diverse range of news so, if you choose to do what Mr. Anderson does and just pick what you want to know about you won’t be an informed person. Overall, I can see where Mr. Anderson is coming from but, there are a few flaws in his perception.

While looking at these CBC models, I have to agree with the new model rather than the older version. I agree with the new model because when something happens in someone’s life, people now post it on the radio, TV, or web rather than getting content on it first. I also agree with the next stop because people now-a-days comment on thing and blog (add information to it) when they see a subject that interests them. Then finally the news reaches you. In my opinion, in the past times, people use to get a subject and research it before they would report on it and in today’s world people tell first and research later. This is due to all the new technology such as cell phones, twitter, Facebook and thing of that sort.
