      This article brings up a good point when discussing the negative ad positive sides of media convergence. I agree with certain points from both sides. On the negative side I agree that not all voices are taken into account, only those with access to new media. On the positive side I agree that the input that is given from voices heard helps improve services and generates awareness. 
  • uggesting that media audiences nowadays play a crucial role in creating and distributing content,
  • mprove the value of the service, the flexibility of topics and the competence of the contributers’ as well as enable technological developments, change the elitism of media professionals and create new general awareness
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • decline in the diversity of material offered and result in a tendency that voices of those lacking economic power will not be taken into account
  • certain segments of the audience arguably remain neglected and unable to fully participate in the new media culture.
  • new forms of interaction between producers and consumers

      Rheingold talks about how his University students were not network literate, and that he made the assumption that they were. This article suggests that media literacy should be taught in grade school. 
  • As our technology evolves, and our streams become even more packed with tweets, articles, videos, pictures and posts, the concept of media literacy evolves with it.
  • To be a functioning member of today's digital society, one must not only be able to use social networking and online publishing tools, but must also be able to think critically about all forms of media.

  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

      The power of social media. Everyone is a storyteller, and the simplicity and availability of electronics, social media, and the world wide web, makes it possible for anybody to be a relevant news anchor.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”

      Powerful because without awareness there will never be action.

    This article speaks on the evolution of storytelling, and how media such as pintrest, vine, twiter and facebook are the more effective routes (in terms of attracting views) of storytelling/media (because of the pictures and videos) but there are still a lot of companies that rely on slideshare as a media platform. It mentions some of the more popular platforms of media these days as videos, images, and memes

      Blogs aren't too interesting to read without pictures in between to keep them attracted
  • Nothing makes a blog post more eye-catching than a great header image, but not all publishers have artistic talent. And even accomplished digital creatives often crave some found material to start from or work with in a project. Luckily for all of the above, sources abound for finding a compelling photo to grab your readers' eyes and draw them in, or to locate fresh multimedia to remix.
