This document compares how different media distribute the same news story and allow users to engage with and share that story. YouTube videos allow commenting on videos and sharing via social media or email. Online news articles allow sharing to several social media sites via buttons, while print newspapers can only be shared by taking a photo to post. Sharing news digitally makes it faster and easier for citizens and readers worldwide to engage with stories and spread information.
Comparrison of different media
- 1. Comparison of Different Media News Distributors Covering The Same Story
- 2. Youtube allows users to comment on videos (providing that the creator of the video allows users to comment)
- 3. Users are allowed to share the online news article to various websites and social medias.
- 4. YouTube also allows users to share the video in a variety of ways, including social media and email.
- 5. All articles allow readers to share the story to a type of social media in some shape or form because they're all uploaded digitally, which allows readers to come across and share the stories easier as there are faster communications via the internet and modern technology. The news report (YouTube video) allows viewers to upload immediate comments on the video which can be seen by the public and video uploader. YouTube also allows viewers to share the video to multiple other Social Medias, such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, and allows the viewers to email the link as well. The online news article pretty much allows the same abilities, but not necessarily the same amount of options, as the online news article only allows readers to share the article directly to six different social medias (including email) compared to the eleven choices YouTube Provide. The various scanned versions of the newspaper articles only allow readers to either email or 'upload to your blog' however, you have to have an online account for PressReader (the website that uploads the scanned copies of the newspapers) in order to do so. However, if the newspaper article was a physical copy, you couldn't really share or upload the article or any news article to social media unless you take a picture and upload it, so in terms of social media and sharing the physical newspaper, you couldn't really, which is why the scanned version is better in terms of sharing to social media.
- 6. I would personally share the articles to Facebook, as I believe Facebook provides the best service to actually accessing and reading the article. I'm not a big social media user either, and with most of my friends or contacts having a Facebook and being updated/online on there, it's the easiest way for me to communicate with people personally (except Skype or social media apps, but I hardly use those anymore either) and social media using the internet is one of the fastest ways to communicate with people all over the world. That makes it easier for citizen journalists and readers to share and read articles as most households own at least one piece of technology that provides access to the internet or social media apps, so anyone can access any type of story made and written by anyone, and it's all free (mainly) so it's a lot quicker, easier and cheaper than physical copies of news.
- 7. The story in the 17th century The story I chose was Hurricane Irma and the damage it caused, but as the hurricane occurred in the Bahamas and Cuba area, but if it was during the 17th century, I doubt anyone in the 17th Century would have known about it's attacks as it wasn't local to England, and communication was limited up until recent technology advancement and the internet. The same applies to the 20th century, even though global communications was better as technology improved a lot after the world wars, but I still don't think the story would have been as big as a hit or even shared as it wasn't local to England and the countries the hurricane hit especially didn't have specific communications with other developed countries, so I don't think the story would have been shared globally as much as it was.
