  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.

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.

“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.”

This article talks about how 2013 was the years for podcasting. There are a number of factors that play in the rejuvenation of the podcasts popularity. Riismandel first says that the popularity came back when main stream comedians started use the podcast medium as a way to share their comedy with their audience. This brought back a big audience, but comedians can't be thanked alone. In order for podcasting to maintain this growth it needs to become sustainable, meaning people need to make profit from their podcasts. The launch of a podcast advertising agency did just that. This is good news for the future of podcasting because it is now a business instead of a hobby. Another point Riismandel makes is that the ease of accessibility to download podcasts via apps has helped with the growth it has seen in 2013.

Online talk shows are an effective way for aspiring hosts to give themselves a "break" in today's day and age. Individuals looking to break into the industry now no longer have to depend on the support of a manager or union.
