    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.

      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.

      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

  • 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
