This article talks about how technology is changing the way we listen to radio. Also, how podcasting is changing over time and its impact on radio. With the ability to pause, rewind, and re listen to radio and podcasts, people are no longer sharing the experience of listening to radio live and together (co-presence). Also, how radio blindness is being lifted with the ability to watch videos on mobile devices etc.

This article found in the Globe and Mail discusses internet content piracy in both Canada and the US. It also discusses the actions being taken to help stop this issue.The consequences in the US are mostly court based whereas in Canada they are technology based and social change based. To find these intellectual property thieves, companies are using anti- piracy firms to track down people who illegally downloading off the internet. These initiatives are part of a larger plan to change the Canadian mindset about downloading illegally, if people understand consequences can occur at random they will be more hesitant to commit online theft.

  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.

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.

To summarize, a visitor sees the headlines they want to read, view the summary, and click through to your site to read the rest of the news, either in a new window, or without having to leave the application they are in. And when you update again, the reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate the list of items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back. It is so easy you would be crazy not to do it!
